Our Customer Retention Representative is part of a B2B environment which focuses on retaining and expanding business within our current merchant customer base through strategic outreach and inbound calls.

Service Concerns – serve as a point of contact for the merchant while their issues are being addressed and resolved, and escalate issues appropriately to ensure immediately resolution

Maintain current understanding of North processing rate structures and current industry knowledge.
Work with all departments within North to identify the best solution to the merchant’s concerns.
