Happy New Year to everyone. What seems to have been a very rushed December with meetings, Cat5 cabling and other IT issues for customers has turned into a very busy first week and next week is also booked. We have moved a local company’s entire IT suite to another site, have surveyed two further sites with the intention of moving their IT later this month. We have an order and some Cat5 work to do in a Hotel in Oxford and so it goes on…. lets hope this year will be a good one.
Last week seemed to be a bit of a blur now!! I came back from a few days away walking with a painful knee and the week just seemed to fly by, although it always does at the start of the month. However we have this new web monitoring solution for customer and SOHO users. It can monitor all your web browsing activity or if you employee someone you can monitor their’s!! which may improve the efficiency of your company and output, just a thought??
Writing this today, Thursday as I’m off tomorrow. Last Friday we sent out our first Newsletter for some time. Customer feedback was good and we intend to do more, hopefully one a month/? Monday was a quiet day but it gave us time to think about new articles for the Newsletter, repair, in fact replace the front door lock with a new one and do some mundane company housekeeping jobs. Tuesday saw us delivering laptops to customers and discussing a free Wi-Fi solution for a Hotel. We also installed some Anti-Virus protection suites for customers. Wednesday i attended a seminar on ‘Use entrepreneur knowledge to cement client relationships”, interesting but not for us. However if anyone who reads this wants to know more, ask. Today, Thursday, had a lengthy catch up meeting with a customer and discussed new software upgrades and methods of making a work flow process smoother, interesting discussions. On the down side we lost a Mobile phone deal, perhaps next time!!
Seems to have been a long week… Monday saw us discussing new PR material for handouts, business cards and A5 flyers etc. We hope to do some local advertising in the Wombourne Mag soon, advertising our www.unlimiteddatabackup.co.uk web site. Tuesday & Wednesday saw us discussing a Mobile phone contract we hope get via a 3rd Party supplier we have formed a partnership with. Thursday we discussed the de-regulation of top level domains and what it means for business come 2012 and today we’re trying to tie up all the loose ends whilst installing more A. Virus software protection suites for companies who’s A.V & A.S software has expired. We also hope to send out our first newsletter for almost a year today, so watch your emails.
