Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. Virus removal, cleanup of computers, and setting up new offices
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Check references…contact us for more questions. Never just hire the first person you come across. And remember, price doesn't always mean the same as cost. A cheaply priced service can cost you a lot in the end…or a high priced piece of equipment can turn out to be a cheap and non-reputable tool.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Just because there is a problem with your computer…there is a solution and that 90% of the time…it can be fixed and not have to be replaced. Most companies tend to want to replace rather than repair…because it's easier. I try to limit how much the problem affects your personal life.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. We can discuss details on the phone. If you think you are in need of parts, have the model number and brand of your computer…other than that, let us do the work.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Specialize in services not many out there are qualified to do. Have built up relationships with manufacturers who have 100% confidence in our service capabilities
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. Customer interaction and the challenge of solving problems.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Do I ever get tired of working on technology? Only if my kids are ready to go have fun.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. I focus more on getting your problem solved than making money. Yes…I am selling you a service and want to be paid, however, if I share no interest in the problem…you share no interest in hiring or paying me.
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
