Customer Support Services

Help Customers from Home

Accolade Support is a company that hires people to act as customer support for businesses that do not have the resources or budget to hire their own customer support services staff, and right now, Accolade is hiring PC Desktop Support Agents.

This position is home-based and involves taking inbound calls from customers who need help with a product or service.  Sometimes these customers are not happy because they are frustrated, so Accolade stresses that patience and a true desire to help people, as well as an attention to detail, are necessary for this job. 

The skill sets required for this job include:

Technical skills - the ability to provide desktop troubleshooting, resolve Internet connectivity issues, and support software applications (with training).

Sales skills - the ability to sell products and services to a wide variety of markets to inbound callers.

Customer service skills - working with callers who may be annoyed or upset that something hasn't gone as expected.  A key component of this is assuring the customer that you will help them, calming them down, and resolving the situation for them when possible.  

You must have, or be able to obtain, the following to qualify for a customer support position:

1. A U.S. based home telephone number. (No cell phones or VOIP phones)
2. A corded telephone set with a headset. (No cordless phones)
3. A PC with Windows XP or Vista
4. Your PC wired to a cable modem, DSL modem, or broadband connection. (No wireless connections)
5. A quiet environment where you can take calls without being disrupted or callers hearing any noise or sounds in the background

These are contract jobs and pay $10 to $12 per hour.  Applicants must be legally able to work in the U.S. and submit to a background check.   To apply, go to http://www.accoladesupport.com/techjob.html
