What makes a good Customer Service Representative?

This individual will be responsible for answering inquiries on product features, understanding product performance, and educating owners on the features of our products, as well as completing financial transactions related to their fixed annuity subaccounts.

  • Accurately and efficiently process telephone fund transfer requests, initiate other policy changes, and forward requests for processing/confirmation.

  • Proactively identify problems and issues, and recommend creative solutions that produce results and favorable outcomes for the client, department, and company.
  • Assist with escalated customer issues that may include investigation and recovery recommendations.
  • Seek guidance and direction on nonroutine customer requests and escalates to others as appropriate.
  • Navigate systems and tools to demonstrate business knowledge to meet customers' needs.
  • May require deviation from standard screens and procedures with minimal usage/availability of phone scripts.
  • Participate in ongoing training programs or on-the-job development to further learn the business, products, and customers as appropriate.

  • Relationship-oriented and positive
  • Information seeker
  • Dependable and goal-oriented
  • Comfortable using calculations to determine product performance/pricing
