Customer Happiness Specialist - remote

SimpleTix
Posted 3 years ago
Our product allows event organizers to post their event details, connect a Square account, and start selling tickets to their events. SimpleTix is one of the fastest-growing event registration platforms. We’ve been in business since 2009. Over the years we’ve consistently taken feedback from our customers to build a better experience.

We believe in being available to our customers starting when they need help getting their events created.
The Role and Who We’re Looking For:

We call this role a “Customer Happiness Specialist” for a reason-your role is to ensure that customers are happy with SimpleTix. Good customer service seeks to understand a customer’s situation and help them resolve that situation at the first point of contact. Great customer service seeks to resolve that customer’s need and translate that need back to the business to ensure that we improve-sometimes in tiny ways-and avoid any customer having a similar confusion moving forward. Incredible customer service does not just that but seeks to listen to what’s not being said, read between the lines and take that back to make the experience better-for that customer and everyone after that one. We believe our customers deserve incredible customer care. So, if you do too, and you love to help people, can’t stand the idea of anyone ever being confused, or have anything other than a surprisingly delightful experience working with us, we’d love for you to apply.

  • Engage customers experiencing difficulty in a friendly and comforting manner. Build trust and empathy with our customers by understanding and teaching them.
