What Skills Can Increase a Trial Coordinator's Salary?

Demanded Skills for the Role:

Customer Service (Mentioned in 16.71% Job Postings): Customer service is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase. The perception of success of such interactions is dependent on employees "who can adjust themselves to the personality of the guest". Customer service concerns the priority an organization assigns to customer service relative to components such as product innovation and pricing. In this sense, an organization that values good customer service may spend more money in training employees than the average organization or may proactively interview customers for feedback. From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service plays an important role in an organization's ability to generate income and revenue. From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement. One good customer service experience can change the entire perception a customer holds towards the organization.
Legal Documents (Mentioned in 2.16% Job Postings): Legal document means any document affecting the legal rights of any person including, but not limited to, any deed, mortgage, will, trust instrument, contract or any document filed in any court, quasi-judicial or administrative tribunal.
Computer Literacy (Mentioned in 1.02% Job Postings): Ability to use computers and related technology efficiently.
