Default Remote Computer Help

Hey guys,
i have been lurking around trying to gain knowledge for me to start up my business.
I am a single dad of 2 little ones and have taken the last 18 months off to help my partner and raise my 2 kids. It is now just me and the kids and i have decided to start up a remote only business.
I am in Australia and the thing i am having trouble with is how to sell a remote service , how to sell it to people who are not technically inclined and have heard of how bad people trying to connect to their computer can be.
I am looking for help in putting together a spiel that i can email to them to describe what i do and what remote support is and how secure it is..
I am just having trouble.

I am after any help that you may generously be able to help with

Look forward to hearing from you

Mark@My IT Guy

I know this will be mentioned, so I'll get it started. Have you checked out callthatgirl's book on remote support?

Hi Mark, here are a few tips for you.

How to sell it to those not technicallly inclined is easier than you think. I would start by feeling comfortable with your remote tools and then knowing how others will perceive your remote tools. Try testing with friends first, in all browsers. Each browser sometimes has different ways to run your software.

After you are comfortable with the tools, then you can tell your clients that getting you connected is safe, fast and more affordable. It's not a hard sell.

A simple email to your contacts/clients telling them you are offering remote support now should just have a simple bulleted list of advantages and benefits, outlining of course: Simple, affordable, faster.

I have done remote support since 2000 and most people that work in the corporate world have already had someone log in to their computers, they like it usually and don't care. The home users that don't have that experience tend to be suprised you can do it, but love it after you have done the work.

Ctg is right. Sometimes new customer will ask if you can access their computet because it easier to explain the issue.

Most tech here use teamviewer but i like using RemoteZilla.
