Work-from-home receptionist / appointment scheduler

Have you ever had your heater stop working and couldn’t get an HVAC company to answer their phone? Has your toilet overflowed and you couldn’t find a plumber available in the next few weeks? Did you wish you had someone around to help and let you know everything was going to be ok? THAT’S US!

Service Center Pro started as just an idea five years ago, and we've watched it grow organically and rapidly since then! It's an indescribable feeling watching our clients' small businesses grow and knowing we're a HUGE part of it. ​Having a supportive and fun team environment is very important to us, especially since we're all remote. Our vision is to create a win-win-win environment, where our business grows with our clients' businesses, and our agents grow right alongside them. This position is 100% remote, including all training. If you're the right fit, we'll invite you to shadow one of our agents for a half hour to get a 'day-in-the-life' view of what we do to make sure it's for you!

To sum it up, our jobs are to be the front desk ambassadors for our clients. We answer their phones, use scripts to provide answers to callers and book appointments for people looking for services. We are the superheroes of the home and personal services industries! We’ll leave you with a quote from one of our employees:

“SCP is special because unlike some jobs when they say family environment SCP really means that. I've never laughed harder than I have with my co-workers here. The supers also have an amazing support system. If something goes wrong I know my supers and co-workers have my back. SCP is a very special company, we are a team.”

Minimum Qualifications:

- Reside in the United States (unfortunately at this time, we are unable to hire agents from California, Colorado, Washington D.C., Florida, Illinois, New York, Oregon or Washington)

- Do not have a second job

- Type at least 40 words per minute at 100% accuracy (test yourself here!)

- Minimum 1 year of direct customer service experience

- Friendly and personable in your human interactions, whether it's a stranger or a longtime friend. We strive to think of ourselves as sitting right in our client's office, representing them as professionally and friendly as possible.

Benefits:

If you choose to continue on to Training Phase 2, which surrounds logging into customer CRMs and booking appointments, you'll be eligible for a wage increase to $17 per hour upon graduation. Training Phase 2 typically takes one to two months to complete. We do this to help encourage Agents to learn at their own pace so we can ensure everyone is comfortable on phones and able to provide the level of customer service that we're known for.
