Call Center Rep Job Description
Call center rep job duties entail a multitude of tasks, including customer service, client communication, and much more. Call center representatives execute the day-to-day activities that make a call center run well, including:
- Answers client questions
- Books reservations
- Outbound support activities – customer retention, event registration & more
- Inbound support activities – lead qualification, overflow & after hours support & more
- Request fulfillment

- Solves problems – escalates requests, prioritizes duties, other related activities
- Educates clients on products & services
- And much more
As you can see, call center rep job duties span the entire continuum of customer service. 20 years ago, a call center rep answered phones, set appointments, and executed similar priorities. But call centers have changed immensely over the past generation – and along with it, call center rep job duties have changed as well.
For educational requirements, a high school diploma typically suffices, while previous customer service experience – not necessarily work through a call center – is extremely helpful in acquiring a job in the call center industry. For advanced call center duties or multi-national platforms, fluency in multiple languages is part of a desirable call center rep job description.
