Virtual customer service agents assist customers with orders, billing services, tracking shipments, or answering questions online about a product or service their employer offers. As a virtual customer service agent, you work remotely from home or another location outside of the office and have calls or live chats forwarded to you or you respond to emails on your company’s network. Your specific responsibilities vary, depending on the specific products or services offered by your employer and the industry. General job duties include assisting customers to find the right product or service for their needs, tracking and logging customer interactions, resolving complaints, and connecting them with specialists or managers when you cannot answer their questions.
