1 Assess Urgency

When facing a deluge of computer repair requests, the first step is to assess the urgency of each issue. Start by determining which problems are critical, such as security breaches or system outages affecting multiple users. These high-priority issues can cripple a business's operations and should be addressed immediately. Less critical issues, like software updates or hardware upgrades, can typically wait. By categorizing requests into 'urgent', 'high', 'medium', and 'low' priority levels, you can create a clear action plan that addresses the most pressing concerns first.

If I am flooded with the tickets, I usually categorise them into 3 priorities, low medium and high and take down multiple tickets together. I usually remote into multiple devices at the same time so that end users can get their issues resolved promplty.

To manage urgent computer repair requests effectively, I prioritize based on urgency and impact, address critical issues first, use a triage system to categorize problems, and streamline solutions with predefined procedures and tools to handle common issues quickly.

Well back when I repaired computers, everybody's request was urgent. Because of technology, we have loss our patience for waiting, but it hasn't changed the physical side of repair. I would always ask when do you need by, if I could couldn't deliver, I would tell the customer I can call around to competitor and see. I never allowed myself to get caught up in that cycle of stress because it is unhealthy. If they could wait I would prioritize by true urgency, then by who came in first. For those items that were quick fix, less than 2 hours, I would knock it to get it out of the way.

Aplicamos fifo onde eu trabalho, o primeiro a chegar é o primeiro a ser feito e a ficar disponível para retirada. Existem casos muito específicos, que eventualmente separamos uma pessoa para dar aten??o específica. Mas é situacional e raro, por isso devemos pesar o que realmente é urgente... pois se tudo for urgente, nada o é.

2 Evaluate Impact

After sorting requests by urgency, evaluate the impact of each issue. Consider how many people are affected and the potential downtime or productivity loss. A server failure that disrupts an entire office is more impactful than a single workstation experiencing minor glitches. Also, prioritize repairs that could lead to more significant problems if left unattended. Balancing urgency with impact allows you to allocate your time where it's needed most, ensuring that your efforts have the greatest positive effect on your clients' operations.

Business Impact: Determine how crucial the issue is to the client’s business or personal needs. For example, if a company’s server is down, that’s more urgent than a single employee’s slow computer.

Como mencionei antes, há situa??es atípicas. Exemplo: um computador de um professor que dará aulas amanh?, n?o tem a mesma urgência que a de um supervisor de ensino que tem uma reuni?o com o dirigente daqui a 3h. Por isso é importante avaliar, entender a situa??o e deixar claro que determinados trabalhos/avalia??es, levam tempos específicos, que n?o tem como ser "acelerado". Assim a pessoa por mais "acelerada" que esteja, entende que terá que esperar.

3 Set Realistic Timelines

Once you've prioritized the repair requests, it's crucial to set realistic timelines for each task. Overpromising on delivery times can lead to frustration and disappointment. Instead, provide your clients with honest estimates that account for the complexity of the issue and your current workload. Clear communication about when they can expect resolutions builds trust and helps manage client expectations. Remember, it's better to under-promise and over-deliver than to fall short of your commitments.

N?o use prazos absurdos, mas também n?o trabalhe no limite. Ou seja, caso entreguem um PC para simplesmente formatar... n?o faz sentido pedir uma semana. Contra partida, pedir apenas 1 hora, caso exista algum imprevisto... a pessoa estará lá esperando, por algo que precisara de mais tempo. Ter uma margem de atua??o, além de ser algo padr?o, permite clareza e cronogramas tanto para o cliente quanto ao técnico.

Day 1: 0-2 hours: Triage requests, resolve quick fixes, and prioritize critical issues. 2-6 hours: Focus on high-priority tasks (e.g., server/network outages), delegate where needed. Day 2: 0-2 hours: Follow up on Day 1 fixes, continue critical repairs. 2-6 hours: Begin medium-priority tasks (e.g., performance issues, partial disruptions). Day 3: 0-2 hours: Final checks, client updates, and testing. 2-6 hours: Resolve low-priority tasks, document all completed work. Day 4+ Proactive maintenance, revisit unresolved issues, and long-term follow-ups. Most critical repairs should be resolved within 1-2 days, with all issues completed by Day 3-4.

4 Communicate Clearly

Effective communication is paramount when dealing with a high volume of computer repair requests. Keep your clients informed about the status of their repairs and any changes in the estimated timeline. If unexpected complications arise, let them know immediately, explaining the situation and how you plan to address it. Regular updates show that you are actively working on their problems and value their business. Good communication not only helps ease client concerns but also enhances your reputation as a reliable service provider.

Adapte a linguagem técnica, para quem estiver falando. N?o adianta usar vários termos e nomes específicos, para quem n?o entende sobre. Mas também n?o seja totalmente informal, para n?o descredibilizar o seu servi?o, diante de alguém que entenda e/ou fale melhor. Numa situa??o hipotética, caso eu precisasse deixar com um outro técnico um gabinete e ele falasse: "Problema tá no windows, vou formatar sua CPU", Nessa abordagem o técnico n?o me passaria credibilidade e eu ficaria desconfiado da qualidade do seu servi?o.

Ser comunicativo e entender o tipo de perfil de cliente te ajuda a trabalhar mais tranquilo alguns sabem mais e outros n?o sabem nada, saber deixar claro para todos os tipos de clientes te faz ter credibilidade, ganhar tempo e trabalhar com calma.

5 Manage Resources

Efficient resource management is key to handling a flood of repair requests. This may involve delegating tasks to other technicians, outsourcing certain jobs, or utilizing diagnostic tools to expedite troubleshooting. Ensure that each repair is matched with the right skills and tools to be completed effectively. Also, consider the logistics of parts and equipment availability; having a well-stocked inventory or reliable suppliers can prevent delays. Properly managed resources lead to faster resolutions and increased capacity to take on more work.

6 Maintain Flexibility

Lastly, maintain flexibility in your approach to computer repairs. Unexpected issues can arise, and being able to adapt your plan is essential. This might mean reprioritizing tasks as new information comes to light or shifting resources to where they're needed most. Flexibility also means being able to reassess and adjust your strategy throughout the day as you make progress or encounter hurdles. Staying nimble allows you to respond effectively to the dynamic nature of tech support and maintain high service standards.
