**About you**:

- Customer service - since customer support specialists work directly with customers to solve end-user issues and answer questions, it's essential that you have strong customer service skills.

- Have great communication skills to be able to explain complex concepts clearly and efficiently and give consultative advice to help customers grow their performance.
- Have experience/passion for enabling businesses to grow and succeed.
- Ability to learn modern customer enablement SaaS and servicing tools to better understand, manage, and support customers.
