Customer Care Representative - Remote

"Customer service is the new marketing, it's what differentiates one business from another." - Jay Baer

Here at the Flowery, we want to offer Florida's medical marijuana patients the best customer service in the industry! We are looking for individuals to join our Customer Service team to keep up with how rapidly our company is growing. Our goal is to remain real and down to earth with humanity and humility in everything we do. Our team is focused on delivering a great, personalized experience for our patients.

Members of our Customer Service team are the first point of contact for our patients when they are reaching out to us via phone, chat, or email. As these interactions are virtual, we provide focused training on how to offer the best possible support without the assistance of nonverbal communication or tone/emotion (depending on platform) that is typical for in-person interactions. The team's primary responsibility is to build and maintain relationships with current patients, prospective patients, industry professionals, and the medical marijuana community through answering questions, providing information, and addressing concerns. While much of the information that a team member would provide will revolve around the company and our products, we do also provide general guidance and resources pertaining to Florida's medical marijuana program. In addition, the team also assists qualified and current patients with placing orders on their behalf for delivery.

Ideally, we are seeking individuals who have a genuine passion for helping others and are able to adapt to changes in the volume and types of interactions that they could experience day-to-day. We are looking for those that choose to go above and beyond because they want to, not because it is asked of them. While having prior industry knowledge is helpful, rest assured we are happy to offer training to those who don't.
