I've worked in Information Technology (IT) all my life, first as a Helpdesk staff member at a large outsourcing company, then as the owner of a Managed Service Provider (MSP) employing my own Helpdesk staff.

I *wish* this book had been available for me back then!

Author Mark Copeman is an expert in customer service and a well-respected name in the IT Managed Services space. While this book is written with an IT provider slant, the ideas and learning are actually applicable to Helpdesk's in any industry.

The chapters are full of practical advice on how to deliver not just good but *great* Helpdesk support, and Mark's experience and knowledge shine through. The book delivers serious lessons with great humour, and is a fun read.

If I were running a Helpdesk now, I'd make this book required reading for my existing staff and any new recruits. A really good read that I'll be recommending widely.

I've worked in IT support long enough to thankfully have picked up most of the good habits this book is trying to teach anyone who works on a help desk (of any kind)
There was still plenty to learn though.

If you manage a help desk team this is a great book to have your staff check out

It's not too long, chapters are short enough it can be dipped in and out of. They are blog post length generally and have a nice simple summary to reinforce what was covered

Not bad at all!
