How To Learn From Remote Computer Help

By Danielle Galloway


There are times when many will have problems with their computer. It may be a memory issue or something did not download properly. So it is common that when a help line is called, a remote computer help technician is on the other line to resolve the matter.

Some people dread this because they would rather have a person see them in person. However, in the case of a person that works at home, this is not possible or practical if the matter can only be fixed in a virtual environment. When a person buys peripherals or software from a retailer, this is the most common way to solve the problem.

Going with a real person can be costly and if the issue is one out of the ordinary, chances are that the live person may not have received the training necessary to make repairs. They will, use and bill the customer to learn this, along with see other customers with less complex issues. This can get into several days, or even weeks, before they come close to finding a solution.

So when getting ready to contact the help desk or customer service, it is important to have several things written down. The first thing is the actual problem that the computer is having. Some people make the mistake of speculating as to what is wrong when they first make contact. By stating what is not happening, such as failure to print, the person can filter out where the problem lay.

Things like model numbers and if, possible serial numbers should be written and in plain sight to repeat to the help person. Though some purchasers get basic warranty service once they have left the stores, having this will tell the person on the other end quite a bit. It can also help the buyer save money and time.

Getting the contact information early in the conversation is also important. If they have a name that is difficult to spell, callers should take the time to get the correct spelling. This is common with companies that may outsource or use workers that have strong accents. The same applies if they use an identification number instead of their name. Having this is good for future reference.

When the help technician gives instructions, it is best to repeat before taking action. It is common for anyone to make a mistake when pressing buttons or not hearing full instructions. They may be distracted or feeling anxious because their school or work relies heavily on the use of their computer.

After the computer issue has been taken care of, this is best time to ask related questions about the product or anything else they may have been curious about. The reason is that call wait times can be long so before calling, it may be best to have questions already written out. While many are trained to use effective communication always in business, being prepared can save time.. By using remote computer help effectively, it can help the consumer as well as the business.
