Benefits Specialist

Excellence in Client Service is such an overused phrase, except when a company’s purpose for existence is to make life easier & better, while enriching the lives we touch, in order to create relationships worthy of loyalty.

The Client-Centric Framework

Client Support at Vita starts with the end in mind. Would our clients enthusiastically recommend us to a friend or colleague? And, more importantly, what do we need to do on a day to day basis such that every customer interaction sets a foundation for that enthusiastic referral? At Vita, we see every interaction as an opportunity to do the following:

Ensure an experience that enriches the lives we touch, and creates relationships worthy of loyalty; and
Engage clients to provide an excellent level of knowledge-based service that exceeds expectations.
