benmark Ian Ende
@benmarkianende
Senior customer service leader specializing in resolution, de-escalation, and premium guest experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior customer service professional with 10+ years of experience coaching frontline teams, owning complex escalations, and driving measurable performance gains across transportation, hospitality, fintech, insurance, and telecom. I’m especially focused on complaint resolution, NPS/CSAT improvement, and creating calm, premium experiences even in high-stakes moments.
At Royal Caribbean, I led a team of 20+ agents and delivered consistent 94–96% CSAT while reducing average handle time by approximately 25%. I coached and mentored agents on complaint resolution and de-escalation strategies, redesigned support SOPs and internal workflows, and served as the primary escalation point for the most complex guest concerns—recognized as a consistent top performer for high-satisfaction outcomes.
In my current role at IntoGREAT, I deliver premium support for high-value guests by managing bookings, resolving real-time service issues, coordinating between guests and chauffeurs, and maintaining accurate, timely CRM documentation. I’m comfortable working independently in high-volume remote environments handling 70–100 contacts daily, using Salesforce, Zendesk, and Freshdesk to keep service visible, structured, and effective.
