Stepping Forward


Today, I received congratulatory message I passed my interview and written examination in my application for Account Supervisor position. My training starts tonight until Friday this week. After the training I will be a member of Account Supervisor Group (ASG). As a member of ASG, I will be handling or getting escalated calls from front line Customer Care Representatives (CCR).

Before some of you get dizzy with what I am writing here. Let me explain to my new comer blogger friends. I work for a Call Center of an electric provider in one of the States in the United States. The electric provider has Call Centers in the US, Manila Philippines and some are located in Central Latin American countries. When a customer dials the customer hotline of the electric provider, whoever is the available CCR, gets the call. Meaning either the customer gets routed to Manila, in the US or in Latin American Call Centers.


When a CCR gets the call and the customer ask for a supervisor. The call is warm transferred to an Account Supervisor (AS). The AS handles the unresolved customer issues. Possibly resolved the issue in the best way he could to avoid the call getting escalated further to a Manager. In most cases customers are already irate when they get transferred to an AS. This will be the group I will belong to, after my three days training. Good compensation you say why I applied for the position? Not really. I will only receive additional allowance.

Actually, I had been a part of the team for about a year from November 2008 to October 2009. For some “political” reason I was transferred to lower rank. Meaning I was transferred back to a front line CCR.  I do not want to elaborate on it anymore. I am not good in history.  The so called “demotion” did not create demoralization in me. Instead I fought positively. I worked hard to improve on my monthly evaluation scores, like quality assurance, average handling time, etc. As I mentioned in my earlier post, life is a constant change. I hope this time I would maintain the rank as Account Sup until such time I would think of seeking a higher position.

Wish me luck, folks.
