Way too many phone techs had not a clue So I would call and ask a question I already knew the answer too. If they gave me a reasonable response I would then ask them the real question: Sadly far too often they would give me a wrong answer in which case I would thank them hang up and try again.

Well, what Fevric should have said is post something that YOU KNOW is deliberately wrong. That rules out Brad. -- Greg D.

I used to repair copiers, I had a tough time getting good tech support help. Way too many phone techs had not a clue Uh, if you're in the copier repair business, shouldn't YOU know how to fix them rather than calling tech support? *Perhaps this explains why you USED to repair copiers. *Not a vast market for 'monkey with tools' when the copier owner can call the same people you did. So, what do you do now, Bobbert? obviously you dont know much about the repair industry........ with copiers models and even parts change constantly. when the model lifecycle is 2 years, and the documentation poor calls to tech support are common, espically with a unique trouble, the most interesting are generated by poor assembly... These days my business repairs roll laminators. Its a niche market and my big competitor GBC which locally charges $317 bucks for the first hour. Schools are the primary customer. Thats not so good these days with the collapse of school budgets But really better for me since schools are looking to save money I charge less than GBC I am my own boss, make my own hours, if I want to screw off on a friday to go to the rodgers ohio flea market I can Unlike people who WORK for companies like you do where they watch your hours etc.... |

Yeah, you've got it so much better.... your points are causing the bankruptacy of america combined with the over militrazation of our country. the military is like insurance you can buy so much you cant afford to live. military contractors have to charge enough for all the bennies you are bragging about... like month off with full pay, little over site etc |

And you can't tell that without calling someone who can't even see it to explain it to theres lots of training available which covers most of the common troubles..... but occasionally poorly assembled wiring harnesses, and a wealth of wierd troubles can and do generate calls to tech help desks. over the years I have found and solved lots of real strange problems. some calls are to report wierd issues and solutions, which helps everyone |
