Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
One of the first things we try to determine is what the client is all about. The better we get to know the client and their needs the better we may be able to provide them with assistance with their networks.
Anyone can fix a computer, but it takes a real professional to understand what the client requires from their systems in order for them to be able to perform.
Getting to know our clients deeper than just fixing an immediate need helps everyone have a much better experience when it comes to this "IT stuff".
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked professionally in the Enterprise environment for over three decades. I've worked as a System Administrator for the U.S. Department of Labor as well as the U.S. Department of Customs and Border Protection. I am recognized by the Federal Government as a "Computer Guru".
I am a Certified Electronics Technician and have been CompTia certified to work on computers and systems.
I bought my first franchise in 2005 and was responsible for 22 zip codes in Hagerstown and Washington County area. Today my franchises serve over 184 zip codes from the North-Western part of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Although we can charge by the hour, once we have determined the root of the problem we can come up with a price model that will serve the client.
The same price model will not serve all clients, simply because not all the problems are identical. This is why, at the core of everything, we need to get to know the client and their environment as well as their needs.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Deciding on who to entrust your network to is not an easy task and it should not be taken lightly. You have to weigh the pros and the cons of hiring certain individuals. Sometimes you may not even know what questions to ask. And if you do ask the right question, what type of answer should you be expecting? We have published a free report that will help you make this critical decision just a little easier.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
When you decide to give the task of your network to someone else, that's when you have taken your next big step into growing your business. Dealing with the mundane tasks of network security and management may not be what you signed up for when you opened your business. Let me ask you this, let's say you are a doctors office... did you open your medical practice so you could manage the network, secure your servers, manage the deployments of patches and updtes or did you open your business so you could practice medicine?
It boils down to where do you want to spend the time at work? Sometime you can't afford to outsource your IT support, but how are you going to know if you don't at least talk to a professional?
