Customer Support Representative

Customer Support Representative (Part-Time)

Be the Voice That Keeps Our Customers Coming Back

Why This Role Matters
When a new customer signs on with Filtrous, the sale is just the beginning. The real value is built in what happens next: a smooth onboarding, proactive check-ins, and a partner who genuinely understands their lab’s needs. As our Customer Support Representative, you’ll own the post-sale relationship from onboarding through renewal and expansion. You’ll be the reason customers stay, grow, and tell their colleagues about us. In a market where switching suppliers is easy, your work makes Filtrous the partner labs choose to keep.

What You’ll Do
• Onboard Every New Customer for Success: Guide new accounts through a structured onboarding process within 30–45 days, setting clear goals and ensuring they reach value fast. You’ll facilitate seamless handoffs from Sales so momentum is never lost.
• Own Retention and Drive Growth: Maintain a 90%+ retention rate across your portfolio. Lead renewal conversations, identify expansion opportunities, and proactively engage at-risk accounts before problems become cancellations.
• Monitor Customer Health: Track satisfaction scores and customer health metrics weekly using CRM and CSM tools. Spot risks early, escalate when needed, and ensure every account gets the attention it deserves.
• Turn Happy Customers into Advocates: Generate case studies, testimonials, and referrals from satisfied customers each quarter. Collect and relay product feedback to Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to close the loop.
• Manage Accounts Receivable: Track past due customer accounts and follow up to maintain healthy cash flow. Coordinate with internal teams to resolve outstanding balances and keep customers in good standing.
• Place Orders for Customers: Process orders directly when customers request assistance with their purchases. Ensure accurate order entry, confirm product details, and coordinate timing with the operations team.
• Make Service Calls: Conduct proactive outbound calls to check in with customers, surface needs, resolve issues before they escalate, and uncover opportunities to deepen the relationship.

Problems You Will Solve
• No One Owns Customers After the Sale: Today the relationship ends when the deal closes, so hard-won customers can quietly drift to a competitor in a market where switching suppliers is easy.
• Rocky First Few Weeks: New customers have no consistent path to value in their first month, so accounts can stall or sour before they ever become loyal.
• Trouble Spotted Too Late: No one is watching customer happiness week to week, so unhappy accounts surface only when they are already canceling instead of while the problem is still fixable.
• Overdue Bills Tie Up Cash: Past-due accounts go unchased, locking up money the business needs and letting balances pile up with no one following through to collect.
• Happy Customers Go Untapped: Satisfied customers are never asked for reviews, referrals, or feedback, so the company misses easy growth and never hears what to improve.

How Success is Measured
• Achieve 90%+ satisfaction rating on new customer onboarding within 30–45 days
• Maintain 90%+ retention rate across assigned accounts
• Reduce churn in at-risk accounts by 90% through proactive engagement and issue resolution
• Generate case studies, testimonials, or referrals from happy customers each quarter
