Hello, My name is Tammy James and I have decided to send you the proposal because I believe I am your ideal candidate for this position. I am a person who is right and left brained and for years I felt like I thought that made me weird, but I have come to realize its actually a strength. A snapshot of my background will give more details as to why this is a strength. All total, I have about ten years of excellent customer service and support experience : seven in call/support center environments and three years face to face ( I was a bank teller and a waitress). I also spent seven years of my life of my life as a professional chef, including pastry and baking. I still love to cook and love entertaining. I understand how providing the best customer experience has to balanced with effective and efficient call handling. I understand how important it is to anticipate a need as a way to combat poor customer experiences. In this digital age, poor customer service experience translates to bad review online, which can lead to a lack of revenue , customer attrition and not gaining new customers. In short- I get it. Your customers are those with discerning tastes, as most foodies are. Let me exhibit my discernment and expertise in customer facing interaction to help you successfully navigate the busy holiday season and delight your discerning customers, turning them into discerning repeat customers. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Tammy James

Hi, my name is Javed Graham and I'm here to tell you why I would be perfect for this Virtual Assistant position. I have a few years experience working as a Customer care representative for Claro and data entry experience working for Windalco. I love working with people so I will always be courteous and friendly while dealing with your customers. I have experience working from home and for calling persons on a daily basis, so your customers will get that office professionalism feel from me. I will be available to work for you as many hours as you may require, so if required I can update my bid to reflect the hours you need. Not to sound cliché but hard working, determined and opened to criticism are just a few of the many qualities that you will receive if you were to hire me as your Virtual assisstant. I am able to multitask which will allow me to complete more tasks in a shorter given time, meaning more work that will cost you less. I am open to being in constant communication by phone, email or both, giving you access to live updates as we go along. This allows personalization as you may give your input. With that being said. I can work without supervision and from my own initiative to undertake whatever task given to me. I am versed in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word and PowerPoint) so all tasks involving these software will be done in the best format possible. Thank you

I am an American who lives in Medellin, Colombia. Firsthand, this job interests me greatly since I LOVE my kitchen and I know a great deal about food (good and bad). In fact I just got my set of Wusthof knives delivered this week and am very excited. To be honest I feel that I would be perfect for this job. As far as a resume, my only copy is in Spanish. My background is in accounting ( I graduated from the University of New Mexico) as well as VoIP services and call center services. If you require a copy of my resume, I will be happy to translate it. I have experience in customer support. I know how to make the customer feel valued and with the desire to return for future purchases. I can answer product related questions, and I am quick on my feet/keyboard to look something up if I don't have the answer readily available. Regarding your required skills: I am happy, and I stay calm under pressure. Internet is no problem as I work from a fiber optic 40/20 Mbps connection. My home office is quiet so noise is not an issue. I am quite fluent in MS Office, and the required schedule is not an issue for me (I live in CST and EST). Finally, the specialty foods requirement is why you should hire me. I love food and I love to cook. I am proficient in many genres of food and am always looking to learn more tasty recipes. I would greatly like the opportunity discuss this opportunity with you and end up working with your company. Thank you for your consideration

The company has an out-sourced contact center division. The contact center is out sourced to different industries, across different continents. It is a VoIP based contact center, all call are routed via VoIP, it is cheaper and has no geographic constraints. We currently run the same service for two companies, One is Namibia and the other is in Dubai. We take into account the time differences. In this case, your geographic are is 6 hours behind South Africa. We can achieve this task if the number that will receive the calls is on the VoIP technology. We run a 10meg up & down stream fiber. OPTION 1: - You provide us with all the details regarding your telephone line, To set up a soft phone or dedicated phone on our site - Details for setup of email on Outlook, include your customized email signature - Details for the Portal for placing and checking orders. - Dedicated contact for further inquiries that cant be archived online OPTION 2: - Provide a dedicated Computer, We will run this remotely, We will need your help installing all the apps we will need to transmit data between that computer and us. - You will set up the Outlook on the provided computer, together with the ERP or CRM software for the order placing and stock checking (provide log in details) - Make sure the computer is always on and has internet access

I have been with the Call Center Industry (Both Technical and Customer Service) and in Level 3 positions (Customer Service Manager, Accent and Conversational English Supervisor, Quality Analysis Supervisor) for 8 years already and I believe that with the job description mentioned in this job posting, we are required to speak with customers from the United States as well as customers from different countries outside from where they call home. And with that mentioned I have been doing this for 8 years now and have been very successful in doing so. I had numerous commendations during my stay in this job as well as I have been promoted 3 times to an Accent and Conversational English Supervisor as well as to a Quality Assurance Supervisor because of hard work and excellence in what I do. I have also worked as a Project Manager for an online shopping company which would make me qualified for the position I am applying for. We have been communicating with our valued customers/clients through modes of communication like voice/phone, emails as well as chat. I also have experience in ticketing systems like Zendesk and Kayako and I have demonstrated proficiency in using these software in work. I have worked with top Fortune companies like Time Warner Cable, T-Mobile USA/UK (As an Accent and Conversational English Coach and as a Quality Analyst) and QWEST Broadband Support (As a Quality Analyst).
