Managed inbound calls from business customers inquiring about their

with a responsible party at the business, conducted fact-finding interviews to
determine the nature of their inquiry or problem, and then provided accurate,
understandable explanations and potential solutions. If there was an error on
the account, my responsibility was to correct the error via correction order

subsequently provided the client status of the credit or order. I was a

several special projects based on my performance and level of expertise.
