Latest Computer Consulting Casualty: IDG Drops Boston Macworld

It’s always sad to see familiar faces, companies, and organizations disappear from the computer consulting industry.

But what about when an entire trade show, long popular with Apple-niched computer consulting business owners, drops off the face of the earth?

Last month, IDG decided to pull the drop on its annual Boston Macworld trade show.

You can read about why the whole Macintosh computer consulting World just got a little sadder from this article in The Boston Globe:
IDG drops Boston Macworld (Once-popular trade show falls victim to Apple's decision to end its participation)

RIP Boston Macworld.

Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit Reviews and Opinions

============================

"...paid for itself in just one day..."

- "Being a typical cynical IT business owner, I was doubtful that any program could help us solve our various IT sales and marketing challenges. However, I still read Joshua Feinberg's basic prospecting report. And just by reading this report, I realized that Mr. Feinberg knew exactly what he was talking about. I then went on to order his complete Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit. We immediately put it into action at our company. Within 10 days, we already have a noticeable difference in our business. Now I will even go on record to say that this package paid for itself in just one day."

George Baldonado,
President & CEO, Oasis Technology, Inc. Camarillo, California

============================

"it's allowed us to increase sales by almost 450%over the last two quarters"

"I've been in the computer business for about five years and I knew that there was a way that things could be done better and certainly more organized. I just never had an idea on how to start on that. Thankfully, since coming across your products truly by accident, it's allowed me to take some of the points you have captured, along with the knowledge that I've already gleaned while being in the industry and allowed us to increase sales by almost 450% over the last two quarters. The opportunity has really proved to be valuable in the sense of leaving the stuff behind that didn't work and moving on to something that does work. Thank you."

And You Think YOUR Computer Consulting Clients Are the Biggest SOB’s?!?

Have you ever met what you thought was THE computer consulting client from hell?

Well guess again.

Check out what happened when Christine Conlon, owner of Endeavour Enterprise in the Rochester, New York area, sold a large computer consulting contract to a local school district.

Computer consultant contracts defended
Attorney says $721,100 worth of work for schools rightly awarded
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

Note: I'm not taking sides here, but you should think about situations like this the next time you wonder if the grass is "greener" when selling a $25,000 LAN to a local small business... or trying to land a multi six-figure project with a government agency or school district.

Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit : Is it worth it?

If you're considering the Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit, you may be wondering when you can benefit from these training tools… i.e. what level of computer consulting experience do you need to have to get value from the Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit?

Since it's one of the more commonly-heard questions here at Computer Consulting 101 ("When can you benefit"), let me go ahead and address this for you.

About 1/3 of Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit owners are total complete beginners to computer consulting. In many cases, these folks are still working a "day job"… most of the time in some corporate IT position… and are learning the Computer Consulting 101 way of doing things in preparation for when they make a career transition to entrepreneurship.

Sometimes, these beginners do some moonlighting while they still have the safety blanket of a paycheck, but this needn't be a prerequisite for getting good solid value out of the Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit.

Another third of Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit owners have anywhere from two to ten years experience in the field. But many times, when these computer consulting business owners launched, they were more concerned with getting "any" revenue, rather than the "smart", high-profit revenue.

The final third of Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit owners are what we consider computer consulting "veterans"… because these folks have been in the consulting business for a minimum of 10+ years. Why do they invest in Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit training resources when they've been in the business for so long?

Really simple… because these folks value their time at roughly $100 an hour (or more)… so it's really easy to pick up a few tips that can make a HUGE impact on their business' profitability.

Because when you think about someone already billing out $85,000 per systems engineer… when 2-3 little refinements can help them squeeze another 2-3 hours a week in billable productivity… they're looking at a $10,000-$15,000 service revenue improvement rather quickly.

So if you're wondering "WHEN" is the right time for you to get started with your Computer Consulting 101 Professional Kit, it's any time you want to grow your business with more steady, high-paying clients.

How to Get More Steady Long-Term Computer Consulting Clients

Do most of your customers only call you when something breaks? And then expect you to drop EVERYTHING and run right over?

If this describes your current state of affairs, it may be difficult to see the forest through the trees. But there IS a better way... a MUCH better way in fact.

It's all about getting your consulting firm more steady, longer-term clients... that value the ongoing relationship with your firm, see your firm as an extension of their business, and are more-than-willing to sign-on for a long-term, virtual IT, service contract arrangement.

And that's why I'm always happy to see computer consultants that stand up for themselves, while taking on a more professional and assertive role, to get those ultra-critical service contracts signed with local small businesses.

I got a message a few weeks back from a small computer consulting firm in southern Michigan. The owner, Greg Brewer, wanted to give us a heads-up on how his company,
that provides virtual IT services for local small businesses, has been able to get more steady longer-term clients. Why don't I just let Greg tell you in his own words...

"Dear Joshua, The Computer Consulting Kit really helped us frame what we were offering to our clients. It also helped us avoid many of the pitfalls that you point out. And the service contract section really helped get longer-term great clients, rather than one-shot-deal customers."
- Greg Brewer, Vowire, Brighton, Michigan

Greg makes a couple of key points that I don't want you to miss:

1) He talks about how "The Computer Consulting Kit really helped us frame what we were offering to our clients."

This is really important because SO many consulting firms just kind of drift around, aimlessly, without having a real plan, vision or framework. And then wonder why the don't have time to get their business more predictable or stable. Owning a consulting business requires that you have a plan, a vision, and a framework. If you don't have one, you can simply get this field-tested, PROVEN plan right here now at
http://www.computerconsultingkit.net/pa/p.cgi/d16105

2) Greg points out how he's been able to avoid various pitfalls. This is key because small business computer consulting is VERY different than most other kinds of small businesses. And when your time is worth $100/hour (or more), you can't afford to waste time on the ultra-common mistakes... ESPECIALLY when there IS a better way at http://www.computerconsultingkit.net/pa/p.cgi/d16105

3) And finally Greg talks about how he's been able to side-step one-shot-deal customers, in favor of "longer- term great clients"... because of the service contract knowledge he now has from
http://www.computerconsultingkit.net/pa/p.cgi/d16105

If you're sick and tired of the one-shot-deal customers, and the ingrates, and the deadbeats, and the cheapskates, and the time-vampires, then it's time for you to stand-up and do something about it.

Learn how YOU can get more steady, high-paying clients, just like Greg has, as well as computer consulting business owners in all 50 United States, 8 Canadian provinces, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and some 31+ other nations around the globe.

And the best part... Thanks to our immediate, secure download facility, you can even get started within the next 10 minutes learning how you can get more steady, high-paying
