Account Manager Screen Printing / Promo Product CSR

Job Description

Job Description

PHOENIX, 7th Ave & I-10.

We’re looking for a naturally friendly, helpful person to assist our customers in getting a better printing experience than they can get anywhere else. We want a superhero (we can dream) with exceptional customer service skills. This is a key role in our relatively small business (12-15 people).

No formal experience is required but previous experience in customer service and screen printing/promotional products experience is a plus.

Starts range is from $17 to $23 per hour depending on experience. If you do a good job, you'll get good raises as we want to keep you around!

Hours are Mon-Fri, usually 7am-4:00pm with an hour lunch, but slightly different times and shorter lunches may be possible.

About us: Acme was founded in 1999, on the principle of being different from the companies we were forced to use before doing it ourselves. We were tired of the bad communication, the late orders, the sub-par printing, and the complete lack of responsibility if something went wrong. Acme's express purpose of giving people the experience they deserve.

And we’re doing our best to make the world better too. We invest in equipment that literally eats potentially hazardous chemicals with enzymes (crazy, right?), we prevent plastisol from getting to landfills and leaching into the water table (completely legal, but terrible for you and the planet), and we donate to animal-welfare, human-welfare, and environmental causes.

Allergies to dogs could be an issue since 3-5 friendly ones come here every day. We’re in Phoenix on 7th Ave just south of McKinley, a minute from I-10.

Primary responsibilities:

• Hold customers’ hands (figuratively …usually)—ranging from those who have never ordered printing before, to experienced, longtime customers.

  • This process involves a fair amount of problem solving. Although client needs will overlap, each will have different goals, projects timelines, communication styles, etc.

• Assist the owner and General Manager with various projects (no previous experience needed here either, but it’s very helpful) and customer-service related tasks.

• Take introductory meetings with new clients to understand client needs and determine how we can best help them.

• Answer phones when needed

• Basic data entry of order info

• Reply to email inquiries and request overflow help when needed

• Estimate print orders using our custom software

• Greet & help walk-in customers

• Handle and resolve your customers’ issues

• Make follow-up calls to ensure our customers were happy with their orders

• Willingness to help wherever is needed. Sometimes that means assisting production, cleaning, etc.

Qualifications:

• Most important: A great attitude and a naturally friendly and helpful demeanor. This just can't be faked. You’ve got to actually like people and care about them having a good experience with us.

• Experience with commercial screen printing, garment printing, embroidery, and promotional products is a HUGE plus, like, all-caps huge.

• There's a fair amount of info that needs to be entered with each order, so you have to be fairly fast at it or this position is not for you.

• Excellent organizational skills, such as prioritization, follow-up and follow-through.

• Detail-oriented with great accuracy, including written grammar.

• Outstanding customer service skills. You should be able to deal with customer issues effectively and diffuse situations smoothly when needed.

• Ability to concentrate and multi-task in a fast-paced environment.

• Highly motivated, reliable, and productive.

• Completely comfortable with computers and common applications.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• The willingness & desire to figure out what needs to be done on any kind of project given to you without requiring your hand to be held.

Please send your resume, references, and complete the questions below in a cover letter. References are required to be considered for this position.

Acme's a place we work but we'd like to know a bit more about you than your resume may show. It's always nice to find out what we have in common.

• What sets you apart from all the other applicatns?

• How many hours a week are you currently working, and if you’re not currently working, what do you do in your spare time?

• What do you spend most of your time doing when you're not at work?

• What are your life goals for the next 5-10 years and what are you doing to achieve those?

• What is the name of your favorite company or brand, and why?

• What’s the name of your LEAST favorite company or brand, and why?

• What's the last book you read or listened to and what did you take away from it? Or if you don't often read what is your favorite genre of movie and why?

• What's the thing that bothers you most about human beings?

• If you could change one thing about the world or the people around you, what would it be (if anything)?

We look forward to hearing from you!
