Siraje Abbasi
@sirajeabbasi
Empathetic customer experience professional with 10+ years in call-center inquiry management and CRM documentation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an empathetic, detail-oriented customer experience professional with 10+ years of success in high-volume inquiry management, consultative communication, and accurate documentation. I’m known for listening first, asking open-ended questions, and translating customer needs into clear next steps.
In my role as a Call Center Admin (Senior level) at MTN Uganda, I serve as the first point of contact for customer inquiries and document every interaction accurately in CRM systems. I triage issues by urgency and complexity to reduce escalations and improve first-contact resolution rates, while coordinating across Billing, IT, and Network to direct customers to the right resolution path quickly.
I’ve also built a strong foundation through entry-level and advisor-level experience at MTN Uganda, where I maintained accuracy under pressure, managed escalated complaints, and followed approval workflows. I guide junior team members on documentation, inquiry handling, and communication standards as part of a leadership development track, and I’ve exceeded quality assurance scores for communication clarity, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
Now, I’m seeking to transition into healthcare coordination where listening, trust, and follow-through are paramount. Whether it’s scheduling-style coordination, precise record-keeping, or privacy-first documentation, I bring the same discipline, compassion, and accountability that customers and teams rely on.
