You may then find yourself reviewing and driving resolution for all high impact issues within your customer portfolio, considering opportunities to upsell where you feel extra value can be added. To finish up, you would write your end-of-day update, before clocking off knowing that you've put your name to the day, and then look forward to doing it all again tomorrow!
