In this article I’ll be sharing the
things when you are wanting to becoming a computer repair person. These are
just my thinking and thoughts of a computer repair. First thoughts, you want to
make a business and maybe want to make your own computer repair store. There
are some pros and cons about doing your own store and being at home and getting
calls. The other thing is when you got customers and how to deal with them. Don’t
be scared to tell your customer that you can’t fix the situation and maybe
consider of buying a new computer.
You are in school and learning to
become a computer repair person. Very important, be in school and learn as much
as you can because you will have competitors. Go out and fix computer to have
experience so you get use to repairing computers. Go door to door asking if you
can fix their computers. Even fix your siblings computer or family members or
another way is call up some company asking them and also saying you could even
fix it for free. The company will say yes if they need an IT person for some
problem they are having and if you did fix the computer you will get
compliments and could even get hired again.
You are now in the business and
done with school. You are now deciding which you should start your own store or
consider working at home. Before you want to start a store, think that you have
to pay bills for electricity, decorations, paying off the store and for workers
that help you. In the beginning when you are just starting you probably have no
workers which means you have to be at the front desk counter the whole time
because you never know when the customers are coming. Then you hire a worker to
be at the counter and you have to pay that person. You will have to deal with
hours for your store, buy the entire products and maybe paint your store and
making a sign outside the store. All of this could cost you over $20,000. What
are the reasons for working at home, well you don’t have to deal with a lot of
bills like starting a store. People can call you and you can go to them or they
can drop it off at your house.
Now comes the billing part of the
business. When you are billing the customer, you should think of them paying
one fee for all the work you’ve done like $100 even as little as adding a stick
of ram or go with couple of fees for the type you are doing like adding stick
or ram for $50 and $100 for a full restore. The thing that you should think is
will your customers pay for diagnostics or not. Diagnostics can be a big part
because you find the problem and tell them and you say do you want it fixed or
not, they could be like “oh that’s it, I could just do it at home.” You just
lost your energy of finding the problem and now you get no money because they
now know the problem and could just fix it themselves. Letting them pay for
just checking the problem is good because it tells you that they will be
willing to fix it or not and still you are getting money. If you are working at
home and if you go over to them you should charger for just going over to them
because you are using gas and your time.
Don’t every think that you can do
everything that someone ask you. If you work on PC but not on Mac then consider
calling up and making a deal with some store that works on Mac and tell them
that if I send a customer to you guys for a Mac then they send you a PC
customer. This can be great because people can recognize your store and get
more customers.
You probably now know a little
about a computer repair person. You should have an idea of what you want to do
now like store hours, should you work at home or start a store. Remember that
there are pros and cons at what you do and think wisely at what you are doing.
Anything bad can ruin your reputation as well. Don’t be scared to tell your
customer you can’t fix the problem. Another thing to consider is that you can’t
do all the stuff that they ask you.
