Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

I like being able to work with computers, which I love, but also not be stuck in a single office - day in and day out. This work gets me to all sorts of individuals and businesses - in a range of locations. I really enjoy it.

Question 5

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

Ask the Computer Professional to repeat back the issue that you just communicated to them - when you speak to them before they come. Listen to see if the Computer Professional really did want to understand the issue before they are hired and they can speak your language. If they are more interested in the details of getting you to simply book - they may not be the person for you.

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

The main questions I receive are around me being able to communicate in a language that is common to them. Then the communication of the issue. Then the provision of a fixed quote. It's important that there is confidence that the cost is known.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

We take the time to understand the issue and offer a fixed price. If we can fix the issue, remotely, there is a 20% discount.

Question 8

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Accepted Answer

We call first and understand your needs - at no cost. We make sure we can do the work and offer a fixed price upfront.

Question 9

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

Take some notes on your issue. E.g What is the issue in your own words, how is the issue affecting you, when did it start, is it happening always or only sometimes, has anyone (inc family and friends) tried to assist you, how urgent is this issue in regards to being fixed?

Question 10

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

Take some notes on your issue. E.g What is the issue in your own words, how is the issue affecting you, when did it start, is it happening always or only sometimes, has anyone (inc family and friends) tried to assist you, how urgent is this issue in regards to being fixed? If you know items like the Operating System (E.g Windows 10 Home) and the application names, note them. However, you don't need to know these things. It's our job to speak your language. This is important - is the device (computer) under warranty? Did you maybe buy AppleCare with your Mac? Any extra service that you bought at the time of purchase may greatly reduce any cost of repair, even a software issue.

Question 11

Are there any special offers you would like to offer to Oneflare customers?

Accepted Answer

If your issue can be fixed by Us remotely, (this means we connect to your computer using a trusted tool from our office to your computer - where ever that is), the fixed price rate is reduced by 20%

Question 12

What makes your pricing competitive?

Accepted Answer

There isn't an issue that we haven't seen on multiple occasions before we meet with you. Due to this, we can address the issue promptly and have confidence in offering a fixed price and 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Question 13

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

We will call you to understand the issue. A fixed cost is then, most times, indicated to the client. Our hourly rate is $90 per hour if you are comparing hourly rates.

Question 14

Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?
