I have helped reduce customer churn by approximately 50% through structured client onboarding and targeted follow-ups, while handling up to 100 customer emails and 60–70 phone calls per day.
I am a Customer Support and Client Onboarding Specialist with 3 years of customer service experience, complemented by experience in Virtual and Administrative Support.
I help businesses keep customers supported, successfully onboarded, and engaged while taking recurring operational work off their team’s plate.
◆ CUSTOMER SUPPORT
I can take ownership of:
• Email and live chat support
• Customer inquiries and product questions
• Issue investigation, resolution, and escalation
• Customer follow-ups and proactive communication
• Support ticket management
• Customer complaints and service-related concerns
• Customer records and interaction documentation
My focus isn't simply answering customers. It’s providing clear, professional, timely, and solution-focused support that protects the customer experience.
◆ SAAS CLIENT ONBOARDING & RETENTION
I can support customers from signup through successful onboarding by:
• Guiding new customers through onboarding
• Following up on incomplete registrations
• Answering onboarding questions
• Monitoring customer progress
• Identifying onboarding friction
• Re-engaging inactive customers
• Proactively following up with customers who need assistance
• Escalating issues that may affect customer satisfaction or retention
My approach is proactive: identify potential problems early, communicate clearly, and make sure customers don't fall through the cracks.
◆ VIRTUAL ASSISTANT & ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
I can also take recurring operational work off your plate, including:
• Inbox and email management
• Calendar and appointment scheduling
• Data entry and spreadsheet updates
• CRM and customer record updates
• Document and file organization
• Online research and information gathering
• Meeting coordination and reminders
• Task tracking, follow-ups, and administrative reporting
This gives you one reliable person who can handle both customer-facing responsibilities and the administrative work behind them.
◆ HOW I WORK
Prioritize. Communicate. Document. Follow through.
I take ownership of recurring responsibilities, prioritize urgent tasks, follow established processes, and communicate proactively when something needs attention.
If something is unclear, I ask rather than make assumptions. If I notice a recurring customer issue, missed follow-up, or opportunity to improve a process, I bring it to your attention.
When required, I provide clear End-of-Day reports covering completed work, pending items, and anything requiring attention—giving you visibility without requiring you to constantly check in.
◆ TOOLS & PLATFORMS
Customer Support & Communication: Zendesk, Slack, Zoom, Google Meet
Productivity & Administration: Google Workspace, Google Sheets, Microsoft Office, Excel, Feishu
Project Management: Trello, Asana
AI-Assisted Workflows: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity
I use AI tools to improve efficiency in research, drafting, documentation, and repetitive workflows—but I keep customer communication accurate, professional, and human.
◆ EXPERIENCE & RESULTS
• 3+ years of customer service experience managing high-volume customer communication, onboarding, follow-ups, and customer retention.
• Managed 100+ customer emails and 60–70 calls daily while maintaining timely, customer-focused communication.
• Helped reduce customer churn by 50% through structured onboarding and targeted customer follow-up
• Supported customers throughout the onboarding journey, resolving questions and ensuring they understood the service before becoming inactive.
• Created 15+ reusable response templates, reducing repetitive response work and improving communication consistency.
• ALX Certified Virtual Assistant
• IBM Certified in AI Literacy
◆ WHY WORK WITH ME?
You get someone who can support customers, manage onboarding, follow up proactively, maintain accurate records, and handle recurring administrative work without constant supervision.
You also won't need to constantly chase me for routine follow-ups or status updates. I track what needs to be done, communicate proactively, and flag issues when they need your attention.
If customer emails, support tickets, onboarding follow-ups, CRM updates, or administrative tasks are taking time away from your team, I can take ownership and keep things moving.
Send me a message or invite me to your job. Tell me what's currently taking up your team's time, and I’ll show you how I can help.
