Customer delight: Receiving IT support
Wanna take your laptop to a service haul?
Yep, me neither. But sometimes it’s necessary.
Just a back-of-envelope wish of Universal Customer Care Standard:
- your privacy as customer and individual is respected
- you were addressed in a timely manner
- your issues were resolved, it works!
- no unnecessary upselling of services or components
- the impression of support was professional
- communications and scheduling worked flawlessly
IT support is an integral part of modern world.
The field is ripe for entry-level jobs, and there is ample market for the solutions.
IT use in the world is for most parts rising. (Gut feeling)
We haven’t either yet seen a major, dramatic shift towards IT-as-a-utility for consumers (B2B), so there is going to be a constant and perhaps growing need for IT support as well.
If computers and IT was as simple as turning a faucet to get water, we would be not probably talking so much about tech.
I don’t feel comfortable keeping a magic orb to project realistic timelines, or whether we will get to this kind of “IT as utility”. So in the meanwhile:
IT support is service. Service is something that raises emotions. Good service makes you happy.
