A Client Support Representative should be able to interact with clients and immediately get the context of their problem.

Here’s a look at all the key responsibilities of a Client Support Representative:

  • Take ownership of client issues – Client Support Representatives must take ownership of the client’s problem and be the single point of contact for all enquiries related to the troubleshooting procedure, the expected resolution time, and updates on the progress made.
  • Troubleshoot problems and see them through to resolution – It’s important for a support representatives to follow a “client-first” attitude and leave no stone unturned in providing the best possible experience. Once a support ticket is assigned to them, they need to research all possible ways to troubleshoot the problem and quickly come up with a solution.
  • Escalate unresolved issues to the appropriate internal teams – Many times in client support, there are issues which are highly technical or beyond the scope of what a support rep can handle on the spot. For such cases, the support rep needs to make sure that the problem is being communicated to the right internal teams and that they take appropriate action to resolve it.
  • Collect prompt and accurate feedback from clients – The work of a support rep does not end at just resolving a client issue. They also need to follow up with the client, find out if the solution actually worked, and take note of the client’s suggestions on what can potentially improve their experience.
  • Document knowledge in the form of solution articles – The solution to every client problem provides a valuable learning experience to support reps. They should be able to document this knowledge in the form of help content or solution articles so that the same problems don’t occur in the future.
