You will need to collaborate with fellow employees finding the right answer, providing the best solutions to our customers. Time management and staff efficiency are key performance indicators we seek from our senior managers.

Problem-solving skills

Customers get in touch for a variety of reasons. You must have the ability to understand an issue by asking relevant questions and understanding the customer’s goal.

Empathy and Respect

It’s not “if,” or “when,” but “how often,” a Service and Parts Manager deals with complex customers, handling sensitive cases. As a customer care professional, you need to recognize, understand, and manage emotions for both yourself and our customers. You will need to handle stress, suspend judgment, and think before acting.
