    IT Customer Service

    Like it or not, today's IT professional has to be part technologist and part psychologist. We are charged with delivering creative solutions for our end-users, sometimes in spite of the challenges of office politics, big egos, small budgets, technophobes, and generally impossible demands. In these videos, based on my book "The Compassionate Geek: Mastering Customer Service for IT Professionals", I share some ideas to help you delight your end-users and deal effectively with the stress of the job. Good luck and enjoy the journey!
