Coyne Veterinary Center is looking for a friendly customer service focused individual to join our growing reception team

At Coyne, our goal is to provide excellent veterinary services to the community and do everything possible to help those in need. We are a full-service state-of-the-art animal hospital located in Crown Point, IN. Each one of our employees are chosen based on their compassion, skills and in-depth veterinary knowledge. We strive to create a nurturing, educational, and fun environment for all employees, clients, and animals who enter our doors.

The primary job for a Client Service Representative (CSR) is to exceed our client’s expectations for outstanding client service while creating a warm and welcoming impression. A good CSR is a “people person” who enjoys working with diverse clients and is caring, friendly, and efficient.

The CSR must remain professional and courteous to clients and co-workers while handling multiple tasks at once with many interruptions. CSR's answer the phones, differentiate between routine and emergency cases, schedule boarding/grooming appointments, greet clients, admit and check out clients, process payments and manage financial information, and communicate between clients and other staff.

Client Service Representatives must be able to empathize with clients and remain compassionate and well-mannered if a client becomes emotional or discourteous. They should remain calm and collected in the face of emergency situations and have a firm belief in the quality of care we provide and communicate this sense of assurance to our clients. The CSR must know and understand our services and recommendations and be able to clearly communicate these to our clients.

Providing for patient and client comfort by keeping the reception area clean and presentable is part of the daily routine. Ultimately, it is the receptionist who is responsible for creating a good first and last impression on our clients. The importance of this role can not be over emphasized.
