Customer service ambassadors are the face of your company and brand. They help companies develop marketing campaigns, advertisement strategies, and their presence on social media.
These individuals are highly motivated, upbeat, social, and multi-faceted, and they are expected to work with other team members to help with promotions and ensure that every department is in line with the branding campaign.
Service ambassadors are often the bridge between companies and clients, and they are expected to go above and beyond when working with clients to promote their brand and generate excitement around their businesses.
