Dealing with tech support
Tech support can be good or it can be terrible. There's very little room for the kind of in-between tech support. If you don't get an answer to your question and in a prompt fashion, it's likely to be reported as a negative experience. If you get prompt answers and a problem that's fixed, you'll report a great experience. For business owners, you only want the kind of 5-star tech support experience for customers that you know a good tech team is capable of. Not only do they have the knowledge it takes to fix a problem but they are friendly, too.
The magic of friendliness
It's amazing how much better a tech support experience becomes when you have a pleasant person on the other end of the line. Tech support agents need to be knowledgeable about tech topics, of course, but they also need to approach the problem from a human angle and explain it in a way that even a novice can understand. When you're a beginner at tech issues, you don't want a tech support person talking down to you or making you feel silly for minor tech problems. To you, those are MAJOR problems. A human approach to tech support is imperative if you want to offer customers a good tech support experience.
Outsourcing tech
Some companies can afford to have an in-house tech support team. The majority of the time the companies with a tech support team in-house will be tech companies themselves with employees who already have the expertise to handle all IT issues. For other companies that don't specialize in tech, outsourcing the job to a great tech team is the best answer. You'll have 24/7 tech support for all issues in any company.
