Life at Merchants Vodacom Business Unit

Working at Merchants Vodacom Business Unit is very rewarding at times when considering that I work in a department that is servicing the bulk of South African contract clients. However there is also emmence pressures from both the customers, internal client ( Vodacom as Merchants is an outsource handling there calls) and management. High call volumes daily and it spikes even higher at month end . The business is always hiring new staff as many resign or abscond due to the pressures of the business There is a minimum salary for agents at about R5 000.00 to R6 000.00 pm depending on tenure

Pros: Yes promotion to coaching from being an agent is achievable after one year depending on the learning ability and application thereof by the agent
Cons: High pressure to meet targets daily, weekly and monthly

Excellent working culture

A typical work day is when I didn't meet my first call resolutions on calls, that's makes clients to call back for the same query. My relationship with my co_workers was great, we were working as team. That was encouraging and we were successful team. I learnt how to treat clients with respect, listen to their queries, & probe them to make them sure that I'm in the right direction. I enjoyed most costomer satisfaction, it brings more joy and success, it makes production a good experience. The most challenging aspects was dealing with an unsatisfied, unhappy client, which query was not resolved and the client is angry at the stage.

Pros: Great opportunity for me to restart my career
Cons: Good working hours

Great opportunity

Talking to me in person will give u a clear view of what I can do. All I can say is that I am a dynamite that isn't scared of any challenge and I ensure that I overcome any obstacles or find a solution to the problem. I am a peoples person my team comes 1st those are the individuals that brighten up my day and make me happy..What I have learnt is that not everyone is the same so you need to have a plan when dealing with certain individuals. Managing demotivated agents is the most difficult thing as you need to start all over and give them hope that things will change give them tasks that will make them feel important. I enjoy interacting with people and I am a motivater I want my people to have a purpose

Pros: Being top management
Cons: Shifts
