IT Helpdesk Excellence

Soft skills that compliment technical support teams

A broad and flexible IT support service

A bad helpdesk exchange can be frustrating for everyone involved, individuals and businesses alike. Your Impact specialises in bringing ‘soft skills’ into the IT arena, and making the helpdesk experience as positive and productive as possible.

Our 2-day workshop has six key aims:

  • Improve customer satisfaction levels
  • Improve the experience of customers and engineers
  • Help engineers manage their customers’ expectations
  • Help engineers manage their workload in a reactive environment
  • Develop techniques for gathering information
  • Enhance the helpdesk’s reputation

Your helpdesk team will already have the right technical knowhow, and will want to do a good job. Our advice and guidance will provide engineers with those extra skills for managing day-to-day difficulties and breakdowns in communication – those things which make all the difference.

Designed for IT engineers and helpdesk teams
