The Role

Confident handling difficult conversations? Know how to turn a cancellation request into a reason to stay?

We're looking for motivated people to join our Retentions team in Newcastle, helping us retain existing customers and reduce cancellations.

As a Retentions and Cancellations Specialist, you'll speak directly with customers who are considering leaving Verisure. You'll need to understand what's driving their decision, address their concerns and use your communication and negotiation skills to find solutions that encourage them to stay.

This is a target-driven role where your ability to influence decisions, overcome objections and demonstrate value will make a real difference. You'll be responsible for turning challenging conversations into positive outcomes while contributing to the performance of the wider Retentions team.

Key Responsibilities

- Handle inbound calls from customers looking to cancel their Verisure service.
- Identify the reasons behind cancellation requests and explore opportunities to retain customers.
- Use questioning, negotiation and objection-handling skills to address concerns and overcome barriers to staying.
- Explain the value and benefits of Verisure's security services, helping customers make informed decisions.
- Explore appropriate solutions based on individual customer circumstances.
- Manage challenging conversations and complaints professionally, remaining calm and focused on the outcome.
- Work towards retention targets, save rates and performance KPIs.
- Maintain accurate customer records and ensure conversations and outcomes are documented correctly.
- Work with other departments where necessary to resolve issues affecting customer retention.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for confident communicators who can think on their feet, handle objections and influence conversations.

Previous experience in retentions or cancellations would be beneficial, but isn't essential. We're also interested in people with backgrounds in sales, telesales, contact centres, complaints handling or other roles where they've had to influence decisions and achieve results.

You'll ideally bring:

- Strong communication and negotiation skills.
- The confidence to challenge objections and handle difficult conversations.
- A resilient, positive and solution-focused approach.
- The ability to understand customer concerns and identify opportunities to retain business.
- A target-driven mindset and motivation to earn commission.
- Good attention to detail when recording customer interactions.

Above all, we're looking for people who are comfortable having challenging conversations, enjoy working towards clear goals and want their performance to be reflected in their earnings.
