Customer Service Job Responsibilities

Customer Service Responsibilities

The Customer Service officer or representative is part of the marketing front-line staff.  Though not part of the sales team, they provide support in the selling effort but with a keener focus on maintaining customer satisfaction, resolving customer disputes and complaints and basically supervising the sales force to remain customer oriented.  This recognizes the limitation of sales forces who are mandated to generate sales and move inventory, while customer service reps create a sustainable link between the company and the customer.
