What You'll Do

You'll serve as a powerfully potent problem solver, using your personal brand of brilliance to retain customers who are seeking to disconnect or cancel. One way to be successful is by being super responsive to customer inquiries and concerns, while making sure to mention all of promotional incentives, potential cost savings and other offers. Here are a few things that you'll do day to day:

• Engage with clients to understand their technology needs, troubleshoot and resolve sources of service, pricing, or technical problems, review pricing options and share customer feedback to management when needed.
• Handle challenging customer situations and escalations to provide complete resolution.
• Be the primary point of contact for customers for all phases of the retention and sales process, including preparation of service proposal, contract signature, order entry and scheduling of install and follow up.
• Determine serviceability and perform any necessary calculations pertaining to fees, time periods, pro-rations, penalties, cost analysis, competitive pricing comparisons and provide other reporting.
• Conduct marketing campaigns which include proactive outbound calling and emails to existing and prospective customers.
• Identify and develop additional sources of new business through referrals, networking and social media.
• Utilize a CRM to capture, accurate and complete information, track orders and follow up as needed.
• Attend required sales and product trainings and stay current on Cox Business services/solutions.

What's In It For You?

At Cox Business, we reward your hard work with meaningful benefits.

• First, we offer a highly competitive compensation package (base salary + excellent commission plan rewarding strong performance), 401(k) with a generous company match, comprehensive healthcare, life, and disability benefits, plus numerous other benefits, including adoption assistance, pet insurance, and discounts on travel and cars!
• We value people more than technology. That means you'll work within a culture and with a team that values your leadership, your experience, your contributions, and you - yes, you - as a person. We believe recognition is important, and Cox Business strives to celebrate those who help make us successful every day. We also encourage diversity and support inclusion; we want you to do you and feel comfortable doing so.
• We also offer boundless opportunities for growth; you can sharpen your skills, learn a new talent, join a mentoring program, even earn an advanced degree. You'll find the potential for lateral or upward career growth within the Cox family businesses, including the innovative startups in transportation mobility, clean tech and more.
