I am writing to apply for the Customer Service Executive position at Equity Bank Kenya, as advertised. With over six years of experience in the Kenyan banking and telecommunications sectors, I have honed my skills in managing client inquiries, resolving complaints, and driving customer satisfaction in dynamic environments. Currently serving in a similar role at Equity Bank Kenya since June 2021, I am eager to contribute further to the bank's commitment to exceptional service, leveraging my proven track record and deep understanding of local financial needs.
In my current position at Equity Bank Kenya in Nairobi, I handle over 150 customer queries daily via phone, email, and chat, consistently achieving a 95% satisfaction rate based on internal surveys. I implemented a feedback system that reduced complaint resolution time by 30%, enhancing branch efficiency, and trained 10 new team members on service protocols, resulting in a 20% productivity increase. Additionally, my collaboration with sales teams has driven a 15% growth in customer retention through effective upselling of financial products. Prior to this, at Safaricom PLC from January 2019 to May 2021, I managed high-volume M-Pesa support, resolving over 200 issues per shift with a 98% first-contact resolution rate, and reduced customer churn by 25% via proactive follow-ups and multilingual templates in English, Swahili, and Sheng.
My Certificate in Customer Service Management from the Kenya Institute of Management (2020-2021), combined with proficiency in CRM tools like Salesforce and Zendesk, active listening, problem-solving, and conflict resolution, positions me to excel in this role. I am multilingual, detail-oriented, and passionate about fostering long-term customer relationships in line with Kenyan business standards. I am confident my expertise will support Equity Bank Kenya's goals of superior client service and operational excellence.
