Made recommendation to upper management about product labeling which cut down on product complaints

Found out what the issues were tried to problem solve and if we could not then the call would be transferred to the next tier to callers who had more extensive knowledge.

If my group was not helpful then we had another tier of medical professionals.

My goals were to always have my group so knowledgeable about the product that they would not have to transfer to another person and I was successful in this.

In total there were about three hundred call center people not all in one location which made it a bit more challenging

I did not manage that many one on one I had several supervisors in the different tiers who at the end of the day would talk about the issues and try to resolve them before they became a huge problem then train the staff on how to avoid or deal with those issue.

In addition part of my job was to train people who were having difficulty with their calls because either they did not understand the product or they were not sure how to defuse the caller to get the information.
