Customer Service Representative

Customer Service
Customer service representatives are employed by many different types of companies to serve as a direct point of contact for customers. They are responsible for ensuring that their company's customers receive an adequate level of service or help with their questions and concerns. These customers may be individual consumers or other companies, and their service needs can vary considerably. The skill and professionalism of your staff can mean the difference between keeping customers for life or losing their business forever. That's why Tri-County Technical College is offering the International Customer Service Association (ICSA) Certification program.
