USAA
IT Service Desk Analyst 10/2015-7/2017
Provided click to chat and Windows based phone support, along with proprietary software for USAA.
Offered remote assistance to inbound users for support, so that the ticket wouldn’t have to be escalated falling short of our internal customer service ratings.
Headed up a team that handled the creation of new knowledge-based articles used in troubleshooting and investigation.
Handled password resets and worked within in Active Directory to offer support for LAN accounts.
Worked closely with upper management supporting virtual machines using Citrix VMWARE.
The training department utilized me to work on training processes as well as give additional training for new hires that may have been falling behind. The methods used were, various role plays, and shadowing my inbound calls/chat tickets.
We were also able to train in a real-life situation where they were able to see and work in a fast paced environment that we dealt with on a daily basis.
The trainers also used recordings of my inbound calls as benchmark on how to handle a proper inbound call, even in the most hectic and frustrating situations.
The leadership team would utilize my skills as a subject matter expert in the effort to “touch” every agent so they understood that I was there as instant support should something outside of their skill-set come their way, using this type of support system we found that the agents were more productive and achieved a lower average handling time, with increased customer satisfaction scores, and 74% less tickets going into an elevated status.
