Start Counting Prevented Ones.

(Because speed ≠ success.)

Ever hear your IT team proudly say, “We closed every ticket in under an hour this week”?
And you think — great… but why are there still so many tickets?

That part never makes it into the brag.

Because fixing things fast feels like progress — but really, it just means you’re living in a never-ending loop of tech whack-a-mole.
If your “success metric” is how quickly you clean up a mess instead of how often you avoid one… you’re measuring the wrong thing.

Fast Tickets vs. Prevented Tickets

Every ticket = chaos somewhere in your business.
Someone’s locked out. Something crashed. A tool broke again.

Sure — IT jumps in, fixes it, everyone moves on.
But what about:

• The 20 minutes that employee sat waiting?
• The manager juggling delays?
• The frustration that builds up quietly, every day?

Now imagine if those problems never hit your inbox.
No tickets. No interruptions. No “hey, can you fix this real quick?” moments.

That’s not luck — that’s prevention.
And for small businesses, that’s the difference between running your company and constantly recovering from it.

Why SMBs Fall Into the “Fast Fix” Trap

Most small businesses don’t have large IT teams.
You’ve got one person (or an external partner) holding it all together while everyone else just wants to get their work done.

So, when something breaks, the goal becomes: “fix it and move on.”
But that mindset keeps you stuck in reaction mode.

The same Wi-Fi glitch every week.
The same email issue after every update.
The same hour lost… again.

You’re not bad at IT — you’re just stuck in a cycle of quick fixes that never fix the root cause.

Flip the Script

You don’t need more tickets closed.
You need fewer reasons to open one.

Start here:

• Find repeat offenders — if it happens twice, it’s not a fluke
• Automate the routine — password resets, updates, onboarding
• Document fixes once — stop reinventing the wheel
• Celebrate the quiet days — if nothing broke this month, that’s the real win.
