Expertly guide customers through their first bill, confidently explaining complex charges like proration, one-time activation fees, and device promotion timelines to eliminate "bill shock." Actively prospect within existing customer accounts for new business needs, employee hires, and referrals during these interactions.

What we’re looking for...

Required Skills & Competencies

• Prospecting & Opportunity Generation: Active Business Identification: The ability to move beyond the primary call objective (onboarding, offer execution) to actively identify and uncover secondary opportunities, such as new business needs, potential employee hires for the customer's business, and referral leads for new accounts. This requires a questioning and consultative mindset

• Speaking Over the Phone & Value Reinforcement: Product & Solution Fluency: Must be well-versed in the entire Verizon product catalog, including FWA and OneTalk, to "right-size" accounts, organically add necessary features, and clearly explain the value of free resources like the Small Business Digital Ready program. This ensures every conversation is productive, not just transactional.

• Winning the First 60 Seconds (Building Trust & Authority) : Expert-Level Billing Acumen & Clarity: The confidence and knowledge to immediately analyze and articulate complex financial details. This is crucial for Welcome & Onboarding, where the representative must expertly guide customers through their first bill, confidently explaining complex charges like proration, one-time activation fees, and device promotion timelines to eliminate "bill shock proactively.

• De-escalation & Empathy: Interpersonal De-escalation: The strength to handle immediate customer frustration—especially regarding billing—and to use strong interpersonal skills to transform a potentially negative interaction ("bill shock") into a "moment of delight," which immediately establishes a positive foundation for the business relationship.

• System Navigation: The ability to smoothly "swivel-chair" and operate across multiple platforms simultaneously. While not a direct customer-facing skill, efficiency prevents friction, allowing the representative to focus entirely on the customer and maintain call momentum during the critical first minutes.

You’ll need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree or one or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through work experience and/or military experience.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Customer service experience
