What you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll be handling inbound calls, and you’ll be the first point of contact for any customers phoning about non-advised products, progressing new enquiries right up to the completion of an application.
You will develop skills to deliver the right outcomes for our customers and will need a willingness to learn as you develop your understanding and skills across our non-advised product and services range.
You will be delivering a personalised and efficient service to all customers, consistently delivering an excellent experience through meaningful customer conversations that deepen engagement and support financial wellbeing. You’ll help to identify and understand customers’ current and future needs, and therefore the appropriate products on a case-by-case basis before assisting with the completion of any applications in line with checklists and sales processes.
Being a good communicator is crucial, as you build a rapport with each customer to gain a better understanding of the different ways in which we can help.
You will have previous experience in identifying and meeting the needs of customers using your extensive knowledge of Nationwide's products, such as Credit Cards, Personal Loans, General Insurance and Current Accounts. By asking the right questions you’ll highlight the options open to them and explain our products and services in a way they understand.
This is a fast paced and challenging role that you will find rewarding. As a keen team player, you will contribute to the overall performance of the department.
