The Client & What You’ll Be Doing
Our client is a distributed customer support provider working with innovative digital brands across ecommerce, wellness, and online education. These companies rely on responsive, human-centered support via real-time messaging systems. As a Live Messaging Support Agent, you'll handle written interactions from customers who need assistance with their accounts, orders, subscriptions, or services.

- Log all chat and email interactions in the internal CRM, tagging issues and tracking status.
- Troubleshoot simple customer issues such as login failures, subscription cancellations, and basic billing inquiries using internal help docs.
- Escalate complex or technical issues to internal leads through ticket tagging and internal notes.
- Personalize canned responses to match the customer’s language, tone, and concern without sacrificing speed.

- Participate in asynchronous coaching and peer feedback reviews to improve clarity, grammar, and resolution technique.
- Provide quality suggestions on recurring issues or template adjustments based on firsthand customer conversations.
- Adhere to timing benchmarks such as response speed, resolution rate, and customer satisfaction score goals.

Tips for Performing at a High Level
Keep It Human but Efficient
Templates are useful, but a real conversation still matters. Use the customer’s name, summarize their issue, and provide specific next steps.
Learn the Shortcuts
Mastering your tools—tagging tickets, searching help docs, using macros—can shave minutes off each case and boost your quality score.
Don’t Overthink—Overcommunicate
When unsure, clearly explain what you’re doing and why. Customers want to feel informed and guided, even when things go wrong.
Set a Rhythm
Use breaks and pacing to stay fresh. Burnout leads to sloppy replies. Keep your energy steady and your responses sharp.
Treat Feedback as Strategy
Your supervisors will provide written feedback. Treat it like a playbook. Each tip you apply gets you closer to performance bonuses and faster shift promotion.
Getting Started with the Client
Step 1: Submit Application
Provide a short resume or availability overview. You’ll be asked to confirm your equipment and preferred working hours.
Step 2: Complete a Writing & Typing Evaluation
This includes a live chat simulation and a timed grammar review to check for tone consistency and responsiveness.
Step 3: Attend a Mock Chat Session
This browser-based test lets you interact with example customer scenarios to demonstrate speed, clarity, and structure.
Step 4: Paid Remote Training
You’ll undergo 4 days of self-paced onboarding. Training includes platform usage, tone practice, and workflow setup. All hours are paid at your base rate.
Step 5: Supervised Onboarding Period
For your first 10 shifts, a QA reviewer will leave notes on your performance. This is designed to prepare you for full productivity and unlock access to better shift blocks.
Step 6: Full Access Role Assignment
After onboarding, you’ll receive your regular shift schedule, gain access to performance-based bonuses, and be invited to apply for editorial, QA, or escalation team paths.
Workplace Environment
This is a remote-first, writing-focused team. You’ll never be required to make calls, attend live meetings, or appear on video. Coaching and collaboration happen through asynchronous messages and written docs. You’ll succeed here if you’re organized, self-disciplined, and committed to consistent written communication quality.
