  • "The 3 Indisputable Rules Every Manufacturer Must Know Before Buying Any IT Product Or Service"

    -

    One day I was meeting with the CEO of a manufacturing company who was only a prospect at the time, about what a business should consider before purchasing and I.T. products or services.

    Being passionate about what we do (OK, I do get over-excited sometimes) I talked about the many aspects that should be considered before purchasing computers, servers, network equipment web filters, spam filters, and computer support.

    One day I was meeting with the CEO of a manufacturing company who was only a prospect at the time, about what a business should consider before purchasing and I.T. products or services.

    Being passionate about what we do (OK, I do get over-excited sometimes) I talked about the many aspects that should be considered before purchasing computers, servers, network equipment web filters, spam filters, and computer support.

    At the end of my stream of thought, I felt as though all I had succeeding in accomplishing was ‘throwing up’ a bunch of information on him. To my surprise, when I was done he exclaimed, “Wow! That was some great information! You should really write that down in a book.” And so I did.

    If you are the CEO or I.T. decision maker of a manufacturing company who is looking to purchase I.T. services or products I wrote this for you.

    I have a passion for working with manufacturers. Not only is manufacturing the backbone of our society, it will allow us to build a strong economy, decrease reliance on other countries, and provide vital jobs to our people.

    After nearly a decade in the I.T. industry, I found that purchasing I.T. services and products can be a confusing and frustrating channel to navigate for many business owners.

    Technology can act as an accelerator for your company’s growth, or it can be a millstone around your neck. It can be seen as a ‘necessary evil’ or the key to making your company more competitive and agile. It’s all about how you approach it.

    It took me years to figure out how to assess services and products and truly figure out what a customer was getting for their investment. This book will give you the short cuts to quickly and painlessly figure out just what you are getting and how you can find an I.T. partner that is competent and you can trust.

    So fill in the form to the right and we’ll rush you a copy of “The 3 Indisputable Rules Every Manufacturer Must Know Before Purchasing Any IT Product Or Service” today!
