- Complaint Resolution: Resolve information-related customer complaints and implement corrective action. Confirm resolution and corrective action to customers via established arenaflex guidelines. Review complaint instances and corrective actions with colleagues to prevent recurrence.
- Pricing and Order Error Management: Handle complaints for pricing mistakes, order entry errors, and customer accommodations with attention to detail and a customer-centric approach.
- Proactive Account Engagement: Proactively engage selected assigned accounts by initiating phone and/or email contact to better understand business applications in which arenaflex participates, as well as to uncover missed opportunities where arenaflex is not currently involved.
