About Customer Care Representatives
A Customer Care Representative is the first person most customers communicate with when they have a problem. The Customer Care Representative must handle complaints, provide appropriate solutions for customers, and follow up to resolve any issues their customers experience. They also provide solutions that fit those individualized situations and prioritize the customers’ needs at each step of the process.
Customer Care Representatives work in various settings, from retail stores to call centers. In most cases, a Customer Care Representative works on a small team under a Customer Service Manager.
