Why Does Tech Support Keep Asking Questions? (2025/674)
You report a tech problem and immediately get hit with a barrage of questions instead of a fix. It feels frustrating, but there is a good reason behind it. IT systems are complex, and the place you see the problem is rarely where the actual issue lies.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅Why tech support questions are like a doctor diagnosing your knee pain
✅The difference between symptoms and root causes in IT systems
✅How to report problems more effectively using screenshots and screen recordings
✅Tools like Loom, Zoho Annotate, and the Windows Snipping Tool to capture issues
✅Why providing context upfront saves everyone time and frustration
Better communication works both ways. Learn how to help your tech help you faster.
