1970-77 Customer Service Engineer
Litton McBee E.B.S. - SWEDA International
- Customer support contact for end users of minicomputers and electronic cash registers.
- Telephone troubleshooting for clients spread over large territories effectively reduced on-site service delays and expense.
- Maintained service logs of service difficulties and volunteered engineering and communication suggestions for their reduction.
- Worked with customers and operational staff to remedy intermittent power problems, failures resulting from employee coping difficulties, and, programming and sales misinformation.
These accounted for 70% of service calls and were often poorly addressed. I introduced patience, empathy, assertive communication, and effective listening and interviewing skills into the equation at a time when none of these were provided with the technical training of service personnel. In return, customer satisfaction and appreciation were high.
