• Send confirmations and reminders, and chase any missing basic information required before the next interaction.
• CRM Discipline & Queue Control
• Create or update CRM records accurately and in real time.
• De-duplicate contacts, keep mandatory fields complete, and ensure that no valid lead sits unassigned beyond the first interaction.
• Monitor stale first contacts, broken handoffs, and queue hygiene issues, and raise them quickly.
• Risk Escalation & Data Stewardship
• Escalate sales enquiries immediately rather than providing unauthorised services to customers.
• Escalate urgent complaints, suspicious behaviour, sensitive document issues, privacy concerns, and customer-experience risks through the correct channel.
• Capture only the data needed to progress the case, and avoid turning early-stage chat threads into insecure document repositories.
• Team Contribution & Continuous Improvement
• Spot recurring lead-quality, routing, script, or tooling issues and feed them back to the wider sales operation.
• Contribute to service-quality reviews and help improve the speed and cleanliness of the customer intake process.
• Represent Peach professionally in every first interaction, knowing that this role often creates the customer’s first impression of the company.
• Skills, Knowledge And Expertise

• Strong accuracy in data entry, note-taking, and administrative follow-through.
• Comfort using CRM systems, calendars, messaging tools, and multi-channel communication tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to be clear, polite, and useful under pressure.
• Good judgement about what to handle directly and what to escalate immediately.
• Nice to haves
• Prior exposure to automotive, marketplace, retail-finance, or structured appointment-setting environments.
