IT Marketing: Make Yourself Memorable
A huge part of a successful IT marketing campaign is making yourself memorable and setting yourself apart from the hundreds of consultants in your area that your prospects could be choosing to provide them with business solutions.
How do you make yourself memorable? You have to sell YOU by focusing on your unique expertise and the benefits you offer.
Are You a “Thing” or a Real Person Offering Sophisticated Solutions?
Remember, you are NOT a commodities broker. Commodities are cheap “things” that will just attract price hunters. You need to really focus on your unique problem-solving skills and specialty.
Make Yourself Known
Great IT marketing materials don’t shroud you in mystery. You can’t try to hide the size of your company on your Web site or business cards by making it really anonymous, nor should you. Sell your background and the background of any staff or subcontractors and be sure to share your unique philosophies and small business problem-solving abilities.
You really need to craft a unique, fresh IT marketing message that represents you in order to attract the best, highest paying clients. It needs to say something different about you that makes prospects remember you over other computer consulting firms they could be choosing.
Today we talked about IT marketing and why you need to make yourself memorable to get ideal clients for your business. To learn more about this topic, visit the attached link.

Service Contracts: Use Proving Ground Projects to Build Relationships
If you want to know if prospects and customers are going to be good candidates for service contracts, you need to test out proving ground projects. In fact, proving ground projects are an ESSENTIAL step to building the relationships necessary for service contracts to work.
What is a Proving Ground Project?
Proving ground projects are an initial step in the process of setting the stage for service contracts. They are the first projects computer consultants complete with new customers that are not yet steady clients. Consultants use them to prove they know what they are doing, are dependable and good to work with and offer good value. They are also a time for computer consultants to figure out if their customers will be the right type to sign long-term service contracts.
Keep an Eye out for Warning Signs
If all goes well during the proving ground project, service contracts are a real possibility. However, make sure if you are a computer consultant that you are very vigilant during the proving ground project so you don’t start a long-term relationship that is doomed.
Some warning signs include …
1. Customers that change their minds constantly;
2. Customers that are late for meetings;
3. Those that are verbally abusive to employees … or to you as a computer consultant;
4. Customers that feel “above” the rules of relationships.
The main point is, you CANNOT rush into a relationship that involves service contracts until you figure out you truly can work well with a prospect or customer. Proving ground projects can help you gauge expectations and how well things are going to work.
Today we talked about why proving ground projects are necessary before you introduce service contracts to computer consulting clients. To learn more about service contracts, visit the attached link.

What Does it Mean to Be an IT Contractor?
If you really want to be a good IT contractor, the first concept you need to grasp is the idea of the “specialist.”
You might be saying, “That’s great … but an IT contractor needs to know a lot of general things about computers to make it!”
It’s true that you will need to know about the following topics if you want to be a successful IT contractor working with small businesses: network design; procurement; managing relations; dealing with phone companies, Web hosts and Internet access ISPs; deciding what to buy and also inspecting it when it arrives; configuring, testing, integrating, customizing, training and troubleshooting for your clients.
The truth is, an IT contractor that is commanding high rates will do EVERYTHING, which is technically being a generalist. So how can you be a specialist?
A Good IT Contractor is Choosy
If you want to be a specialist in a generalist’s world, you need to provide the soups-to-nuts complete solution to a SELECT group of people. You’ll provide a virtual IT experience and take full accountability of everything your clients need. But to survive in the world of IT, you need to choose the type of clients you go after. Find a niche and a select group of people that could use your help and run with it!

IT Sales: Tips for Building Relationships
Relationships with clients are critical if you want to make meaningful IT sales. Your relationships are your greatest assets when you are trying to sell prospects on your unique IT solutions.
What about the size of your customer list? Actually, list size is unimportant, as is revenue. The real key to IT sales is longevity and the long-term relationships you develop with your prospects, customers and clients. The following tips can help you with IT sales.
Tip 1: Think about Lifetime Value
The lifetime value of your computer consulting clients could be in the six-figure range, so you really need to get to know owners and partners of the companies you work with if you want a genuine “in” on IT sales. The time you invest in building relationships will really pay off in the long run.
Tip 2: Manage Customer Expectations
If you are initially doing all the IT sales yourself, you won’t have to worry about inconsistent salespeople or pitches. When you have inconsistent and misrepresentative salespeople, you will have a lot of issues managing expectations of your prospects. You need to build a very personal relationship with your prospects at the beginning of the IT sales cycle.
Tip 3: Train Your IT Sales Staff YOURSELF
Many consultants are actively involved in the IT sales process in the early stages of growing their businesses. When this process becomes more routine and you have 5-10 great clients on your roster that generate substantial monthly revenue, you can train new salespeople and staff to do some of the work for you. Delegate IT sales staff only when you are big enough to handle it.

As an IT Consultant, You Need to Pay Attention to Who Your Clients Are
As an IT consultant, one of your most important and unique tasks is finding out who your clients are BEFORE you sit down with them in a sales meeting. Yes, you need to explain what your computer consulting business is all about … but you also have to go into any meeting thinking about the idea of the “mutual interview” and be prepared so you know what you’re doing and how to listen to your clients. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to help them with their needs.
You’re an IT Consultant … Prepare!
Doing some homework and research on clients before a meeting may take you 30-45 minutes, but you have to invest the time as a responsible IT consultant so you can help close the sale. In order for prospects to agree to pay for your services, you have to build credibility, and part of this is showing you know and care about their unique business problems. It’s pretty easy to go to Google and type in a person’s name or phone number and address to get a little information.
An IT Consultant Knows Prospects and Clients
You need to learn …
1. What their business is about;
2. Their specific industry;
3. The types of services they provide;
4. The number of locations they have;
5. How long they’ve existed.
You should also look up news stories and see what your potential clients have been up to in the community.
Today we talked about how you as an IT consultant can get more involved with your clients and build a better business. To learn more about this topic, visit the attached link!

Tips for Talking about Your Computer Consultancy
You need to be careful of people that want you to explain what you do in your computer consultancy. You need to be prepared to talk clearly about what you do in simple terms so a client can determine whether or not you provide services that would suit his/her business.
Some Tips for Talking about Your Computer Consultancy
1. Be ready to talk about your computer consultancy by taking some time to prepare for meetings. Spend 30-45 minutes before sales calls and other meetings with potential clients to learn something about your prospects so you can figure out how your solutions will fit.
2. Put together a complete profile of your prospects to make sure you know how you can work with their complex business problems. Find out what their business is about, which industry they are in, which types of services they provide, how many locations they have and how long they’ve been in business.
3. Look in the news for information about your potential client. You will probably be able to find news stories in Google or in the local newspaper through search functions. This will help you know more about your prospects and what they are doing and accomplishing.
Today we talked about some tips that can help you better communicate information about your computer consultancy. To learn more about this topic, visit the attached link!

IT Marketing: Why Are Direct Mail Postcards So Great?
When you use direct mail postcards as part of your IT marketing plan, you don’t have to worry that they will get thrown in the garbage bin without being read. Because they are already open, they will at least be seen by your prospects. You also will save money on postage for cards when you use them as part of your IT marketing plan.
Target, Target, Target!
Targeted IT marketing campaigns are always more effective than those that are not. Don’t send the same message to 2,000 small businesses in your area and hope for them to hit on hot buttons. Target a specific group and find out what really concerns them. Then come up with a message that speaks to this concern and stress you have expertise in their specific area.
IT Marketing Postcards Can Build Relationships
The goal with direct mail is not to close the sale. You can’t get them to agree to a $25,000 client server network just because of a little postcard. Relationships take time and effort to cultivate.
IT marketing postcards should generate a response. You want prospects to say they are interested and then focus your energy on nurturing the best opportunities of those responses. Then you want to try to get them to agree to a seminar with other people that have expressed interest or a free report or free needs analysis.
IT Marketing: Urgency is Everything
You need to make sure people know there is an urgency to what you are asking with your IT marketing materials. They need to act now … or never! You don’t want people to take your postcard, read it and file it away indefinitely. You want people to get to know, like and trust you. The best way to do this is to encourage one-on-one contact or one-on-group contact where they can see you in person and know what it is like to work with you.

The “Green” Movement Helps VARs Grow
Many VARs are starting to incorporate environmental awareness into their daily business lives at great benefit to their growth and services. Virtualization technology in particular is helping VARs grow their own businesses and also save customers money, reduce energy consumption and costs to themselves.
According to Virtual Iron, climate change and depleting natural resources has caused many VARs to go the “green” route in order to stay competitive, streamline business operations and help bring clients better and more sophisticated solutions.
According to CMO of Virtual Iron, a leading provider of VARs for many businesses Mike Grandinetti, a lot of businesses think about profit first and neglect social issues. However, many ideas surrounding the “Green” movement are helping VARs combine the two ideas together at greater benefit to their businesses – making more money for their own company and also helping the environment.
Issues like server sprawl, physical space and rising energy costs have plagued businesses of all sizes along with the problem of old hardware that is sucking up valuable power and generating too much heat. Virtualization is helping a lot of VARs improve server performance as well as reducing the amount of servers needed; according to surveys, using more environmentally sound solutions, VARs have been able to reduce the number of servers needed to run a business by one-third to one-half. Grandetti also states that regardless of the size of a customer or the horizontal or vertical market occupied, all VARs can make the “Green” concept work.
Virtualization was initially designed for enterprise customers with a great deal of money and very large data centers but is quickly becoming very relevant to and possible for SMBs that don’t have the financial flexibility of larger companies. VARs are helping to provide some options for small businesses through virtualization in the form of very flexible alternatives both to what they are currently using and to the more expensive solutions they cannot afford.

Should You Sign Computer Repair Contracts with National Service Organizations?
The simple answer to this question about computer repair and national service organizations is, “Absolutely not.”
Why? Basically, you’ll spend a great deal of money and more importantly TIME getting certified and learning cutting-edge technologies. But, when it comes down to it, computer repair – hardware repair – is a commodity and can be an incredibly low-margin situation. As hardware becomes more disposable and replaceable, less people even engage in real computer repair. And, computer repair contracts and IT consulting contracts in general with national service organizations just don’t work.
Disposable Hardware
As an example, think about a $600 consumer-grade PC. Who will spend money on computer repair for this type of hardware when it has passed its warranty point? And who will spend money to fix an out-of-warranty $400 laser printer? Not many small businesses would do this, and neither would national service organizations.
Low Labor Allowances
National service organizations usually will be dealing with warranty repairs on pretty inexpensive hardware … so how much labor allowance will be available for computer repair on a $1,200 laptop? A lot of big hardware vendors are usually close to going out of business. Unless you’re Dell, HP and IBM and are a vendor, you probably will be depending heavily on these low-end repairs to stay in business.
What is the Profit Margin on Computer Repair Contracts?
Think about it – you will probably not make much more than $50-$200 (at the absolute MOST) on a computer repair. So what is a better choice? Finding small businesses in your area that need high-level, sophisticated IT planning and services very regularly.
You Won’t Make a Profit with National Service Providers
When you are a subcontractor for a national service organization, you won’t be able to efficiently run your business. You will be in eight different offices each day instead of one or two. You will be told that you only get $65 for even a complicated, lengthy computer repair instead of billing out at $100 or even $150 per hour. It’s just not practical, and your computer repair business can’t last that way!

Computer Repair Business Marketing: Mail to Your Current Customers
Sending a mailing to current customers should be part of your computer repair business marketing plan.
Why?
First of all, your customers already know you and know what your computer repair business is all about. You already own the list, and the people on it already know, like and trust you, which are three of the biggest obstacles to overcome when it comes to successful marketing.
What Should You Stress with Your Marketing?
If you know a lot about virus protection, firewalls, passwords, data backup and power protection, this is a good place to start when mailing to computer repair business customers and trying to get them to agree to IT audits.
Offer a discounted IT audit package. For example, if you usually charge $400, you can offer a special good through an expiration date — $299. You should also think about including a bonus such as an entry-level battery backup unit or surge protector … or simple just a CD or DVD of the last data protection seminar you gave. Make sure your offer has real value to customers.
Track Marketing Results
With any computer repair business marketing strategy, tracking is important. So tracking the responses to a mailing you send it critical. You might get five percent inquiries and note that half of them end up taking the audit, which will help you predict responses to future mailings. Remember your audience of computer repair business customers is going to be more responsive than anyone else you target through direct mail.
Help Computer Repair Business Customers Use Their Assets
You need to look at existing customer relationships and determine more ways you can help them use what they own already. They probably have bought a lot of useful assets that they aren’t even using, but that could really bring them increased productivity and benefits.
Solidify Computer Repair Business Relationships
Direct mail and talking to your current customers can not only help you help your customers get the most out of their current IT assets but also can help you get good service revenue. Also, this type of contact helps establish the relationships that will sustain your computer repair business long term.

IT Support: What Are Your Responsibilities with Clients?
Providing IT support to your important clients is full of responsibilities. But which are really required to be part of your services?
1. Coordinate Telecommunications Solutions. When you are dealing with sweet spot clients, you will have to coordinate IT support with a local phone company – CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier) or ILEC (incumbent local exchange carrier). You’ll have to help clients get a leased line and also research which types of connections your clients will need. You will also probably have to give basic dial-up networking recommendations and coordinate tech support with ISPs for your long-term clients.
2. Get Ready to Test. As part of IT support, you will probably have to know about vertical industry-niched applications. You might bring the applications in yourself or your clients may already have them and want your firm to test and evaluate the application before they make the investment. Regardless, your job will be to evaluate how the application fits in with your clients’ sophisticated network.
3. Train the Guru … or the Masses. Your firm will have to be involved in training, no matter what. Sometimes the training may be formal end-user training involving small groups and new applications. The training can also be more informal and just be with the internal guru that everyone comes to with problems and questions. When you train the guru, you help the guru offer IT support for the others when it comes to simple tasks.
4. You Can Expect Disaster. You will need to be plan for disaster with IT support. This means you’ll have to check out the data backup system, antivirus software, power protection and security regularly along with engage in very proactive maintenance of systems.
You will be most valuable to customers with IT support when you have great problem-solving and strategic-planning skills. You have to be ready to help with everything that is IT related and organize a very specific list of IT support priorities.

Which Type of Computer Repair Business Do You Want to Start?
People starting their own computer repair businesses make the decision to open many different types of companies for a variety of reasons. But how do you decide?
The decision really depends on whether you want to build a business from the ground, up or take some shortcuts by opening a franchise. What are the pros and cons of each?
Deciding on a Computer Repair Business Means Some Hard Work
No matter what, during the startup phase of your computer repair business, you will have several months where you will need to put in some very hard work putting your name out in the community. You will be following up on a lot of leads, generating proposals and going on sales calls. And this will all happen before you get any billable projects.
Just because you decide on a franchised doesn’t mean all the work is done for you. There are other issues to consider.
The Right Decision
One type of computer repair business is very different from the other, and how you decide on which type to open will depend upon what you are looking for personally from your business, your skills and how much time and money you have.

Become an IT Consultant: Training or Clients First?
When you are trying to become an IT consultant, do you get computer consulting training first and then look for clients or do you start out looking for clients and then work on getting training?
The answer is simply, “Both.”
Become an IT Consultant by Getting Training and Clients
Client recruitment and skills development should really be done simultaneously when you are on the road to become an IT consultant. Don’t take many months off to do training or you will find yourself unable to pay the bills. You NEED paying clients.
However, if you let six months pass and you neglect to keep technical skills sharp, you will eventually lose the ability to take on the high-end projects you need to survive.
Achieve a Balance
The average person that tries to become an IT consultant usually balances training and obtaining clients in a variety of ways. Some consultants might spend a couple days a month or weeks a year going to formal classroom training.
Many consultants also have lab systems that give them the ability to test and train in their offices so they can work with basic entry-level server hardware on a regular basis.
What’s Your Program?
You can belong to a lot of different programs that give you access to copies of software that can be used internally for training purposes. Many vendor partners, such as Microsoft do this as part of their annual program membership fee.
Evaluation software can be a great way to keep your technical skills up to speed as you become an IT consultant. You can make sure you are proficient on the software before you go out into the field and work with it.

Starting Your Computer Consultant Business is Hard Work
When you are starting your own computer consultant business, you will need to spend a lot of time going to meetings and shaking hands. You will have to make plenty of follow-up calls and use display ads and direct mail campaigns to establish connections.
Because you need plenty of hands-on time to start your computer consultant business, you will have to be very realistic.
A Franchise Isn’t a Guaranteed Computer Consultant Business
Even when you buy a franchise, you don’t get a guarantee of everything going smoothly. You won’t get a client list; if you want that, you will have to buy a current business, which will be even more capital-intensive than a franchise. If you want to buy a small company that is doing well, you will have to spend a multiple of the company’s annual sales.
What Are Your Computer Consultant Business Start-Up Costs?
You can start your own business for just a few thousand dollars. All you need is a business phone number and voicemail, a cell phone, business cards and licensing registrations. You will also have to meet with an attorney or an accountant (so don’t forget this cost!). You will need insurance. You can often work out of a home office. Franchises cost significantly more than this in terms of start-up costs.
If You’re a Control Freak, Think Carefully!
If you like being in control, you will probably not like having a franchise. You have to do things a certain way and follow pre-established rules. Your company will also have to pay a franchiser a part of its revenue forever. And flexibility will be less when you want to take your computer consultant business in new directions.

IT Marketing: A Look at Postcards
You will not always get what you perceive to be “ideal” IT marketing results. How can you create postcards that will avoid the common mistakes many computer consultants make?
An IT Marketing Case Study
Consider a consultant that says this:
“I’ve send out over 300 postcards that offer general computer troubleshooting services, automated online backup and wireless home networks … I bought lists of area businesses that were divided by revenue, credit rating, years in business, number of PCs … The wireless home network postcards went to homeowners that purchased their house for over $500,000 and the automated online data backup went to people that had recently purchased new business licenses …”
And the consultant’s results?
“The IT marketing results have been nonexistent. I haven’t received a single phone call or e-mail.”
The question is, what did this consultant do wrong?
Don’t Expect a Too Much Out of Your IT Marketing Efforts
You sent out “over 300 postcards?” That’s not really very many in terms of an all-out campaign. And it definitely isn’t enough to make for good statistics. Don’t spend your entire IT marketing budget in one place before you know whether it works or not. But don’t think you can spend the cost of 300 times one stamp for a postcard and get a landslide of response. If you got no response from that type of IT marketing campaign, consider the reality of your numbers.
What Should Your Postcards Include?
Your lists in the above scenario are probably not wrong. But your copy might be suspect. What are you offering? Is your headline compelling? Did you hit their points of pain and have a clear deadline? Did you use a compelling offer that got them to pick up the phone, send you and e-mail or mail back a coupon?
The Bottom Line about IT Marketing and Postcards
Are postcards a bad media? They are not! In fact, they’re great, because no one has to open an envelope, which makes deciding to respond a lot easier. You won’t have to deal with putting compelling information on an envelope to get someone to respond to your IT marketing strategies.

Become an IT Consultant by Getting Specific Expertise
When you decide to become an IT consultant, you will find that small business IT support requires many different types of expertise, depending upon your niche and specialty. Which expertise do you need to become an IT consultant?
There Are Experts for Every Type of Business
If you want to become an IT consultant for a big-enterprise organization, for example, you will find all types of experts, from level one help desk technicians to senior systems engineers all the way up to a CIO. You will find a lot in between too, but each will be an expert within his/her own specialty.
When you work in small business consulting, you will find the same is true for your IT support contractors and staff. You will have some technicians that can handle hard drive installation and LAN adapter installation. You might also have some people capable of dealing with simple P2P networks or basic dedicated servers. You may also have someone that works with server-class firewalls and setting up VPNs and intricate, advanced networking.
People Skills Are Critical
A person that does well when he/she decides to become an IT consultant is either really good at technical things or really great at sales. Those great on the sales end AND great on the tech end are rare.
The best technicians and engineers typically will have great people skills that will come in handy during big IT projects, i.e., when installing a 10- or a 25-node network. When you have to coordinate a lot of vendors and solutions, a lot can go wrong, and you need to thus have great management skills to make it all work.
Become an IT Consultant
There are many different traits that can help you succeed when you try to become an IT consultant.

A New Virtual IT Tool Introduced by Tek-Tools
Virtual IT innovators Tek-Tools Software, based in Dallas, Texas recently announced a new product – Profiler for VMware – as part of the Profiler Suite that helps increase utilization capacity and performance in virtual IT environments. The company, with offices in the U.S., UK and India is a top provider of virtual IT resource management solutions and works with customers of all shapes and sizes to help support business.
Profile for VMWare is a software solution that offers monitoring of VMware ESX hosts, virtual machines and storage and also helps create a monitored virtual IT platform for users.
Many customers have already been using the new Profiler tool as part of an early-release plan. Using the system in production environments, they have been able to make their virtual IT plan more efficient. Many have reported avoiding up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary IT purchases because of improving the performance of machines and procedures.
Some that have used the new virtual IT system state that while it offers flexibility, it makes the process of management more complicated. A professional survey conducted in December 2007 by Enterprise Strategy Group stated that by virtualizing servers, many companies might have a problem tracking performance and may even cover up growth. More than half of companies polled as part of the study stated that they have experienced a net growth of total storage volume since implementing new virtual IT plans.
Profiler promises to help circumvent problems with virtual IT solutions by offering greater visibility of stored items and systems. It offers greater capabilities for capacity planning, virtualization planning, performance monitoring and availability monitoring (tracking).
