Recently, there has been a surge in online discussions detailing a series of unsatisfactory customer service experiences with tech support. While we usually avoid such online debates, we looked at a few for research purposes, given our industry involvement. Some of the complaints were so extreme that they seemed almost unbelievable. However, other more prevalent issues resonated with us, and frankly, they were quite frustrating!
The Struggle with Tech Support
When you’re dealing with a tech emergency - whether it’s a malfunctioning printer, hardware issues, internet connectivity problems, login difficulties, or something similar - inadequate tech support only exacerbates the annoyance. It results in frustrated employees who can’t effectively do their jobs because they’re busy troubleshooting their tech and waiting on an IT company that is “looking into it”. It also leads to irritated customers who simply want a seamless process when interacting with your organization.
This can lead to the loss of customers and top-tier employees to your competitors who don’t face these same daily challenges. At first glance, it might seem dramatic that a few unresolved “tech issues” could cause such a commotion. However, as these problems persist with no solution in sight, resentment builds and will eventually lead these individuals to seek organizations that don’t have to deal with such hassles.
5 Questions For Your Team
So, what can you do to stay ahead of the problem? Begin by surveying your employees. Ask them questions that will help you evaluate your current IT company to see if they’re addressing your team’s needs quickly and efficiently. Here are a few questions to consider:
- Are you experiencing any recurring technical problems that haven’t been fully resolved? If so, what are they?
- How would you rate the response time of the IT support team when you encounter a technical issue?
- Have you found the IT support team to be knowledgeable and helpful in resolving your issues?
- Do you feel that the IT company communicates effectively and keeps you informed about the status of your requests?
- How would you describe your overall satisfaction with the support provided by your IT company?
These questions only take a few minutes to answer and can provide you with valuable insight into whether your current IT team is properly handling issues or if there is trouble brewing within your organization that you weren’t aware of.
