Music In this video, technical support professionals will discuss how they provide remote support to the clients. What are some steps you go through when preparing to remote into a client’s computer? How do you prepare them and talk them through the steps you’re taking to help solve their issues? So here at Meta, the main thing we do is that is we connect in a lot of the time. We're moving away from the way we interact with people on a certain level, but basically, we try to let them know, like, "Hey, is it all right if we share your screen?" And for some places, it's not as easy, but we can just click a button after they say yes. And we just kind of take over and they they're happy with it. At previous places, it's we have to request the entire number to enter in the system to remotely connect. And typically, we will want to ask them like, "Hey, close anything you don't want me to see, and then I will take over." Gaining remote access into the customer system can be very difficult at times. Yeah, sometimes they're calling they're just looking for a quick answer, a quick fix and they think that getting into a remote session is just going to prolong their call, and they don't have time to do that. Oftentimes too, it depends on who the customer is you know. If it's somebody you know if your company is making products that are consumed by, you know, other companies, you’re used to dealing with folks that work in IT, and it's a lot easier because they understand remote access and are often quick to allow you into their system because they know that they can get their resolution potentially that much faster, but if it's, you know, let's say it's a consumer product, you know, it's a USB driver, you know replacing a hard driver or a camera that they purchased, it's not connecting to their laptop, they can be really hesitant to allow you to connect to their machine. Which is completely understandable. They may have things like their tax return stored on there or other sensitive types of information, and they also seem to think that after we hang up the call that somehow magically, we can just get back into the machine we want whenever we want to. So, the first thing that you want to do is allay any fears that you know your customer might help with. You know a remote connection, you want to explain to them why, you know, you would like to access their machine remotely and how much time you can save them and that they'll be able to see everything that you're doing while the remote session is in progress and that you won't do anything without their permission. So, if you're patient and you gently explain these to these things to them, you'll probably have a better experience. Remote technical support is both a great benefit as well as it can be pressurizing for the agents. It can be helpful because a lot of times, you're trying to walk customer into a particular, you know, walk through a particular solution, and they might be doing something different from what you're telling them. So being able to try things out yourself makes it a lot easier with access to the desktop. But at the same time, the customer is watching you do certain things, so you need to be good at what you're doing. You need to really understand and make sure you have good skills in the system or the application that you're trying to debug or resolve the problem for remotely.
