Customer Support Representative




We are a remote startup (headquartered in Canada) 
building a smart, curious, and driven team that’s making 
software to help sales reps sell better.

Prospect is a lead generation app that helps you find contact 
data right inside your browser in real-time. The best sales
 teams from the top tech companies in the world use Prospect
 to crush their sales targets.

MORE ABOUT US

We are currently a team of 13 people -- you will be #14 🙂

We are self-funded and profitable (no VCs or investors).
 We did this because we want to do what’s best for our team and customers.

We have balanced working hours (~8 hours/day),
 don’t work weekends, and take ample time off. 
We don’t have any “managers” and we rarely do any internal meetings.

We believe that customer support is not just a chore but is 
rather an opportunity to make someone’s day. We strive to go above and
 beyond when it comes to support.

ABOUT YOU

You are calm and collected. You enjoy helping and talking to people. You realize that customers may ask you about the same issues repeatedly. You know that things can go really wrong sometimes and are able to deal with “fires” without losing your cool.

You’re self-managed and very well organized. 
You know that you will be joining an early-stage 
startup and that will require wearing multiple hats while
 not losing track of the bigger picture.

HOW WE CURRENTLY DO SUPPORT

Our first line of support is our support email address. All support
 emails come into Help Scout into a shared queue. We also provide
 in-app live chat that customers can use to get support.

For more passive support, we actively maintain a knowledge base.
 Customers can access the knowledge base to see answers to common questions.

Every now and then we jump on a Zoom screen share or 
call a customer to further diagnose problems.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will be helping us full-time with customer support.
 This includes doing things such as:


Prioritizing tickets and answering them as soon as possible
Hopping on screen share calls to diagnose problems and educating users
Working directly with Engineering to beta test new versions before launch
Analyze daily metrics and proactively reach out to customers regarding issues
Continuously improving Customer Support processes

Since you will be the face of our company to customers, you will also:


Update knowledge base and make training videos
Let the rest of the team know about any customers’ suggestions or feedback
Regularly update internal company wikis

We're pretty relaxed when it comes to working hours. 
However, we've noticed that most customers contact us between 10am-6pm EST (UTC-5).
