Get Double The Work Out Of
Your Employees While Slashing Overhead
Costs, Padding Your Bottom Line And Securing Incredible Loyalty From Your Staff

Sound too good to be true? I assure you it’s not…

There is a fast-growing trend among small and medium businesses that is drastically increasing productivity, cutting costs, and driving more profit to the bottom line. Is it a new management style or marketing trend?

No – it’s telecommuting, which is a $5 word for allowing your staff to work from home or while on the road.

Sure, it doesn’t sound very sexy when you first hear it, but when you see the bottom line impact it has on profits and productivity and talk to business owners who rave about how much money it’s saving them, you’ll start to see what all the excitement is about.

What Is Telecommuting And How Is ItGoing To Help My Business?

Telecommuting is a fancy word for allowing employees to work from home, in remote offices, or while on the road. While this is not a newconcept, recent advancements in remote access technology and security have made it very affordable and easy for even micro business owners.

The Ultimate Small Business Guide To Setting Up A
‘Work From Home’ Or Remote Network Access System
For Your Staff

If you are the owner of a small or medium sized business that is thinking about implementing a “work from home” program for your employees – or if you want to install a virtual network to enable you and certain key employees and managers to work on the road or from a remote office – DON’T – until you read this eyeing guide.

Our free report will explain in plain, non-technical terms best practices for setting up remote access for you and your staff, as well as important questions you should ask any computer consultant to avoid making the most commonly made, costly mistakes made when setting up the technology for a work from home program.

Critical Facts And Insider Secrets Every Business Owner Must Know Before Installing A ‘Virtual Network’ To Allow Employees To Work From Home, On The Road, Or From A Remote Office

In this free report, you’ll discover:

  • What “telecommuting” is and why so many small and medium sized businesses are rapidly implementing work from home programs.
  • The single most important thing you MUST have in place before starting any work from home or remote office initiative.
  • How one company saved $11 million after implementing a work from home program – and how you implement the same money-saving strategies for your small business.
  • How to get a FREE “Home Office Action Pack” ($97 Value).

Is Your Current Computer Guy Causing You To Need One Of These?

Is Your Current Computer Guy Causing You To
Need One Of These?

Bayer aspirin

  • Does he take forever to call you back and respond to your requests?
  • Are you paying him good money to keep things working, but are STILL having constant problems, slowness and other recurring issues?
  • Are you worried he’s not backing up and securing your network?
  • Does your head hurt from having to deal with the hassles?

Are you sick and tired of constant IT, phone and computer problems interrupting your day, frustrating you and your team? Do you feel stuck with an absent-minded computer guy who isn’t delivering the SERVICE you want, but you don’t know who else you can trust to do a good job without overcharging you?

If so, I have the solution that will make IT-related issues one headache you NEVER have to deal with again.

My name is Darren Coleman, owner and CEO of Coleman Technologies and author of the book Easy Prey: how to protect your business form Data Breach, Cybercrime & Employee Fraud. We specialize in delivering proactive IT support and services to businesses like yours with friendly, knowledgeable techs who will put you at ease and resolve your IT problems quickly and efficiently. Chances are you’ve never heard of me or my company before, but when you finish reading this letter, you’ll be glad you finally have.

Why can I make such a bold statement?

Because almost every small business CEO I talk to will confess that their current computer support person – whether it’s a friend who’s good with computers or a “professional” IT company – is NOT completely delivering the level of service they want. Therefore, they are forced to deal with ongoing technical issues and worry that their network is NOT secure from hackers, ransomware, extended downtime, and a range of data-erasing disasters. Clearly this is unacceptable!

Isn’t It Time To Finally Get Rid Of This Headache?

Although the notion of providing reliable, affordable, full-service computer support isn’t an amazing concept, it still surprises me how many computer technicians don’t get it right. Therefore, I understand if you’re skeptical about our claims. My guess is that you’ve been disappointed, even burned, by other IT guys in the past. That’s why I’d like to extend the following offer to you…

A $497 “Get-To-Know-Us” FREE Gift…

As a prospective client, I’d like to offer you a free, no-obligation, no-sales-pressure IT Systems Assessment where I’ll send one of my senior technicians to your office to conduct an audit of your network’s security and overall health.

When done, we’ll give you a report of findings that will not only reveal if your data and computer network really are properly backed up and secured, but also if there is anything you need to do now to prevent a major network outage, data loss, hacker attack or other expensive, data-erasing disaster. Plus, we can almost always show you how to save a little (or a LOT) on hardware and software by switching to more efficient cloud-computing solutions.

After all, it never hurts to get a competitive bid from a qualified third party – and this assessment is totally, completely free without obligation.

The Assessment only takes [60 minutes] to conduct, but when it’s done, you’ll know for sure if your company’s data is secured and, in the event of a disaster, exactly how fast you could be back up and running again (if at all). I will be following up in the next couple of days to make sure you received this letter, and to see if you would like to schedule this free IT Systems Assessment. If not, please just let us know!

Awaiting your response,

Darren Coleman
CEO, Coleman Technologies Inc.
Author, Easy Prey: how to protect your business form Data Breach, Cybercrime & Employee Fraud

P.S. Why risk it? Our free IT Systems Assessment comes with zero strings attached, no expectations and no obligations on your part. If nothing else, it will be a good third-party validation of how well your systems are currently performing.

How Does Your Current IT Guy Stack Up?

Take this quiz to find out!

How can you tell if you are receiving poor or substandard service? How do you know if your IT company or computer guy is doing everything possible to secure your network and prevent expensive disasters? If your technician does NOT score a “yes” on every point, you could be paying for substandard support and jeopardizing your data and network’s security!

  • Do they answer their phone LIVE and respond to emergencies promptly (within X minutes)?
  • Are they easy to reach and highly responsive (responding same day) when you need them for non-emergencies?
  • Do they proactively monitor, patch and update your computer network’s critical security settings daily? Weekly? At all? How do you know for sure?
  • Do they offer proof that they are backing up ALL your data, laptops and devices?
  • Do they meet with you regularly (at least once a quarter) to report what they’ve been doing, review projects and offer new ways to improve your network’s performance instead of waiting until you have a problem to make recommendations?
  • Do they provide detailed invoices that clearly explain what you are paying for?
  • Do they explain what they are doing and answer your questions in terms that you can understand, NOT in “geek speak”?
  • Have they proactively discussed cybersecurity with you, and made recommendations for better protecting your network from ransomware?
  • Have they provided you complete network documentation, or do they hold the “keys to the kingdom” refusing to give you admin passwords?
  • Do they offer any guarantees on their services?
  • Do they arrive on time and dress professionally?
  • Do you look forward to seeing them, working with them, or do you cringe every time you have to make that call?

This plan has been extremely popular with our small business clients because it gives them everything they need without the huge hit to cash flow.
  • Giving you instant disaster recovery and the peace of mind that comes with it. You’ll never lose data or be down more than a few hours due to a server crash, hardware failure, employee mistake, fire or other data-erasing disaster. Depending on the type of backup you’re using now, we might even be able to drastically reduce or eliminate that monthly expense altogether.
  • Lowering your IT support and maintenance costs. We can typically save our clients between $500 and $5,000 while giving you and your employees the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere, anytime, on any device, thanks to new cloud solutions we have available.

If nothing else, you’ll gain a 3rd-party review of your computer network’s security for FREE.
