A major mistake that most techies make is looking at IT as about computers. IT is as much about understanding what systems are important to the organisation as it is about fixing things.
Make sure that your helpdesk staff are familiar with the processes within your company as these should be inseprable from the IT. The IT is mearly there to facilitate whatever the business does. Any techie worth his salt should be able to look at an error message and take a good guess as to what it means and how to fix it. However it takes something extra to know what the impact of system foo not working is.
Also knowing what your customers do with there IT will inspire confidence in them because when you know how they work and what they need a system to do you know what can go wrong.
