However<\/span>, even knowing this, their engineer job descriptions read like a technical manual with a string of technical competencies. Yet, everyone in the industry understands that technical skills can be taught, but communication skills in engineers are a rare gem. This article explores why.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Typical End-User Experience with Bad Engineers<\/h2>\n<p>As an end-user, I am sure you have received help from several desktop engineers in your work and personal life. Indeed, there is one that stands out over time \u2013 either because they were so good or really bad. However, the good ones listened to your issue, walked through a solution, fixed the problem, and went on their way. In contrast, the bad one was likely condescending, had a thick accent, or talked techy jargon over your head, leaving you feeling lost over what just happened.<\/p>\n<h2>The Importance of Great IT Communication Skills for MSPs<\/h2>\n<p>Network operations managers have learned that knowledge can only be used on machines \u2013 not people.\u00a0 Further, they know that great engineers should be able to communicate through stressful situations, have empathy, exercise patience, show confidence in their work, and be technically astute.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this is a hard combination to find when considering the low unemployment rate in this industry. Technical knowledge without good IT communication and people skills costs the MSP money in client retention.<\/p>\n<h2>Techy Talk Masterminds \u2013 Or So They Think!<\/h2>\n<p>In the MSP world, it is very common for engineers to talk the techy talk rather than communicate the solutions in layman\u2019s terms. While their techy knowledge is quite impressive at first, it becomes old quickly if you can&#8217;t decide based on the information they provide you.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I have had countless prospects express concern over the inability of the engineer to break down the problem and solution into layman&#8217;s terms. The client often describes times when their IT guy unexpectedly arrived at the office, spent a few hours in the server room closet, and sent them a whopping $500 invoice. They explained he spoke techy jargon circles around them when they asked for an explanation, and at the end of the day, they had no idea what they paid for or why it was necessary. They felt bullied and lost.<\/p>\n<p>IT support companies should hire engineers to inform and guide their clients to make the right decisions. After all, the most crucial word in IT support is \u201csupport.\u201d All of which require a great deal of IT communication skills!<\/p>\n<h2>INSI Makes IT Communication Simple<\/h2>\n<p>At INSI, we believe the client should understand the work we did and the options they have.\u00a0 For this reason, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/insi.net\/insi-articles\/insi-customer-support-manager\/\">Customer Service Managers (CSM)<\/a> who serve as our clients&#8217; single point of contact. Each CSM is a seasoned engineer with excellent communication skills and will get to know your company, employees, and IT needs very well.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, each CSM is committed to the security and reliability of your network and makes recommendations with that in mind. Your CSM is also responsible for directing and coordinating all the activities on your account. Most importantly, they are measured on your client satisfaction, which results in clear communication between INSI and the client.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid the Techy Jargon \u2013 click on the button below or call INSI today at 770-851-8322 for all your IT support needs!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/insi.net\/best-it-support-provider-in-atlanta\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Connect with INSI&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span>About INSI: The Best MSP in Atlanta!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Innovative Network Systems, Inc. has a unique approach to integrating<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/insi.net\/top-atlanta-it-support-packages-in-atlanta-ga\/\">IT support<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>and<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/insi.net\/advanced-cybersecurity-services\/\">cybersecurity<\/a>.

In our last post, we talked about how the ability of the engineer to follow processes is the most important characteristic.\u00a0 However, the ability to follow processes on its own is not a winning formula.\u00a0 There are three ingredients and the second one is IT communication skills.\n\nHowever, when you look at job descriptions for engineers, they read like a technical manual. For instance, there is a string of technical competencies they must master. In fact, for most MSPs, it is even greater because they expect the engineers to master all levels \u2013 not just the one they are being hired for.\n<h2><strong>Typical End-User Experience with Bad Engineers<\/strong><\/h2>\nAs an end-user, I am sure you have received help from several desktop engineers in work and personal life.
