Overview

Are you a performance-driven professional with a knack for persuasion and a passion for customer loyalty? As a Retention Specialist at ibex, you will be the front-line defense dedicated to preserving customer loyalty and driving revenue stability for Verizon/Frontier. You will step into the most critical moment in the customer lifecycle: the exact moment a customer considers leaving.

We are looking for an elite communicator who thrives in a goal-oriented environment, actively neutralizes churn risks, and can turn high-stakes service interactions into revenue-generating opportunities through empathetic, consultative engagement and strategic objection handling.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Drive Churn Mitigation: Protect the business by consistently meeting and exceeding daily Same-Day Save Rate (SDSR) and revenue targets.
• Master the "Save" Toolkit: Utilize approved retention offers, discounts, and custom plans to present tailored value propositions that match the customer's specific pain points.
• Overcome Objections: Confidently navigate intense, high-friction customer conversations. View "no" as an opportunity to dig deeper using active listening, high empathy, and a professional tone.
• Consultative Upselling: Identify hidden revenue opportunities during the save process by recommending upgraded plans, added lines, or value-added features that fit the customer's lifestyle.
• Maintain Strict Compliance: Ensure 100% adherence to Quality Assurance (QA) standards, promotional eligibility rules, and ethical sales practices on every single call.
• Accurate Data Logging: Meticulously document customer interactions, root-cause reasons for cancellation, and saved agreements within the CRM platform.

What You’ll Earn

• Competitive hourly base rate + uncapped performance-based commission tied directly to your individual save rates and sales targets.
• Top-performer incentives, daily/weekly cash contests, and tier-based performance milestones.
• Comprehensive benefits package, corporate perks, and fully paid telecom-specific training.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• The Retention Edge: A natural talent for overcoming objections, de-escalating tense situations, and mastering the art of negotiation.
• Coachability: A "growth mindset" with a proven ability to absorb actionable feedback from supervisors, implement it on the next call, and continuously elevate your performance.
• Resilience & Agility: A thick skin and high emotional intelligence. You treat every new call as a fresh opportunity to win, regardless of how difficult the last customer was.
• Tech-Savvy Multi-tasker: Comfort navigating high-speed CRM tools, troubleshooting scripts, and account data screens simultaneously while maintaining an engaging conversation with the customer.
• Compliance-Focused: Strict adherence to high ethical standards, corporate privacy regulations, and exact disclosure scripts.

Shift Hours:

1:30pm-10pm EST/12:30pm-9pm CST, Saturdays may be required. Availability to work the specified hours is a requirement of the position.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in a high-volume retention, collections, outbound sales, or commission-based retail environment (Telecommunications experience is a major plus).
• Proven track record of hitting strict performance metrics, quotas, or KPIs.
• Exceptional verbal communication, active listening, and conflict-resolution skills.
• High school diploma or GED equivalent.
• Must be 18 years of age or older.
• Ability to work a full-time, flexible schedule (including potential weekend/evening shifts based on business needs).
• For WFH candidates: A quiet, private workspace with a secure, hardwired high-speed Ethernet connection.
