Using Remote Computer Help Effectively

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.

While some are grateful to speak with anyone who can help, others feel that face to face contact is best in these situations. When it comes to those who work at home, going with the most practical solution will save time and money. In many cases, it better than trying to solve the matter with the necessary skills or education.

Going with a live person may not be the best decision, nor the most quick. The reason being is that not all are trained in every facet of computer operation so it may take time for them to familiarize themselves. By the time time matter is resolved, days are likely to have passed because they may have other clients to tend to. By going to a remote help technician that is already trained, a person may be able to resume their work in a matter of minutes.

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.

All pertinent information that applies to the computer or mobile device should be accessible. This includes model and serial numbers. Often buyers of these products get a warranty upon purchase with the option for extended coverage. This is more cost effective than traveling to hire someone who may not be familiar with a product..

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.
