Web 2.0 Customer Service Reps / Travel Agents (Anywhere In the World)

LetMeGo, an internet startup that provides a marketplace in which lodgings compete for travelers’ business, is looking for customer service fanatics (or, as we call them, LetMeGo aMeGoes).

You will work your magic for our lodging partners and traveler customers primarily via email, supplemented with online chat and phone calls. We are looking for smart, dedicated people who can handle each situation through their expertise and resourcefulness–our aMeGoes do not read from scripts. Instead, you will be expected to address each customer’s needs with professionalism, intuition, and an ability to think on your feet (Zappos style). You can perform this job anywhere in the world as long as you have a stable, high-speed Internet connection.
