What a great Story to Share!

A young Customer Service Advisor putting her heart into serving and developing loyal customers just because she is Insanely Customer Centric.

Farah Hayek joined DHL in 2010 at the age of 22 as a Call center advisor and has been worked wholeheartedly ever since. She was promoted to the Retail team 3 years ago where she joined the Multi-Channel Cash desk that handles customers who used to have credit term accounts and have stopped shipping to profile.

Farah’s main task was to initiate a contact with those customer, build rapport with them and get them back on Track. Having 5 years of experience as a CSA in the call center was key to her success as she was able to transform the MCC into a nursing desk where she manages and grows customers’ business by providing all solutions and make them feel that shipping has never been easier.

Being a Young Lady, Farah is passionate about Fashion and as we have a big fashion industry in Lebanon, she managed through the year to collect a big database of Lebanese upcoming Fashion designers and shadowed them from the day they graduate until they become regular shippers and they are forwarded to Salesforce.

Moreover, she is consistent and rigid when it comes to follow up, even if that means that she stays up all night working on a designer dress to be delivered to the celebrity in the USA on time for the event. Or spending 2 hours with the operations to properly pack a designer Bridal Dress along with the customer…

Having said the above, Farah does not provide great A+ service to customers only, she also looks at every opportunity to grow both the customers and our business. Farah Contributed alone to the total country retail growth in 2018 by 5%, similar to one of the service point contribution and she was able to grow her territory by 56% in 2018 vs LY

Adding to the above list, knowing the importance of Ecommerce business nowadays, Farah took the initiative to visit exhibitions and collect leads for new potential customers, not only to add to her territory, she applied the AS ONE spirit by filtering the leads and sharing them with the sales Lead Qualifier.

She never hesitates to offer help or volunteer to jump in and assist her colleagues in the customer service team when needed. She is always eager to learn new things and handle new projects.
