In a logistics customer support role, prioritizing tasks is crucial to meeting customer expectations. I would start by evaluating the urgency and impact of each task on customer satisfaction. I prioritize tasks that directly affect customer timelines and logistics processes. Using tools to track and manage workflows can greatly enhance efficiency, allowing me to adjust for unexpected issues while keeping the team informed.

In customer support, I once encountered a situation where a shipment was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. To resolve this, I immediately contacted the logistics team to understand the issue and managed to find an alternative solution. I communicated transparently with the client, informing them of the delay and offering compensatory services. This experience taught me the importance of proactive communication and flexibility in problem-solving.
