Got Your Back!

Over the past 28 years, Your Computer Lady has developed a system for working with clients that we call the “Got Your Back” process. Our goal has always been long term clients who come back to YCL over and over with a variety of projects. We want to reduce your frustration and headaches by stepping in to do projects so you are able to focus on what you do best – your real business. How do we do this?

  • One point of contact – Though YCL has a network of experts for graphic design, web site programming, database creation, etc. you only deal with one person. This allows us to learn your business. We can pick up faster on a project. We learn details, special industry terms and personal preferences.
  • Wide range of services – Our network gives us the means to have an amazing range of services to offer you. If we don’t do a particular job, we know who does!
  • Online support – Within 15 seconds, we can set up an online meeting to look right at your computer. We can teach you how to use a software feature. We can fix a problem for you.
  • Back ups – Your Computer Lady keeps extensive back up files. If you can’t find that brochure file from two years ago so it can be updated, we can!
  • Large or small projects – We don’t care if it’s a big project with lots of hours or a small question that can be handled with an online training session.
 
We estimate that the “Got Your Back” process can save you on average 20% over doing a project yourself.  Not sure?  Give Pamela a call today and discuss the project you need finished.

Why Use Portable Document Format (PDF)?

Often you want to save your files so they cannot be modified, but you want to be able to share and print them. Examples include resumes, legal documents, newsletters, and files intended to be read and printed. PDF formats can help. By using an add-in, which is an extra function you download, you can convert a file, from your Microsoft Office programs, into a PDF format

Portable Document Format (PDF) preserves document formatting and enables file sharing. When the PDF format file is viewed online or printed, it retains the format that you intended. Data in the file cannot be easily changed. The PDF format is also useful for documents that will be reproduced by using commercial printing methods.

There are a lot of PDF Writers that you can purchase or download for free from the Internet. Please research and choose the one you feel will work best for your company’s needs.

Forwarding is the New Networking

OK. The title is a teaser and a mis-statement. Forwarding has been going since the first printing press. But social media is changing the way we forward information and the types of information we share. Read this article for some clarification about networking by sharing info and some tips.

Full article from Harvard Business Review by Tom Davenport

Forwarding (sharing) pamphlets is credited with being a strong influence in the American Revolution. Printing presses were more common and therefore the cost to print was lower. Benjamin Franklin and many others published pamphlets explaining why the 13 colonies needed to be independent. The pamphlets were passed hand to hand to reach more people. Their writing educated and motivated people to take a stand.
