It turned out that I'm using way more computer memory than I have. You guys proceeded to help me to a system upgrade and my computer is more tolerable now.The technician was really knowledgeable and solved my problem in no time!”

“I had a few bad experiences with technicians and general contractors alike. I feel they have this tendency to flake, not show up on time, or give me an 8 hour range of when they will show up. With Hire a Geek, they arrived within the range they specified.They even communicated with me by giving me a courteous phone call to remind me of the day's appointment, which is a rare thing in this industry.They kept me from having to wait around all day and I actually got a few errands done before they came. The technician was prepared, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much!”

“I have a lot of sensitive corporate information on my laptop. I travel a lot and I'm always a little paranoid to put my laptop bag down afraid that someone will steals my laptop when I'm not looking. I went to you guys for help and not knowing what to expect.You guys recommended Hard Drive Encryption and explained to me in layman's term on how it works.You don't know how glad I am that I went with this. Losing this confidential information to the wrong hand is a huge liability loss to our company. Keep up the good work.”

WARNING: Business with 15-50 Employees
If You Have A Business That Hires Outside IT Support When Something Breaks, Then You Are Putting Your Business At Great Risk!
Dear Friend,
There are many computer support companies out there that will provide you break-fix support. In other words, when something breaks, they come and put out your fire.
But do you want to know a secret?
Wanna hear what it is? Come here a little closer… The secret is…
This type of relationship is actually the ABSOLUTE WORST. And let me repeat, ABSOLUTE WORST kind of business relationship that you can have with an IT Support company.
Their profits are driven by the FAILURE of your network.
No matter what business you are in, there is a simple truth.
If you want your business to prosper and grow, you simply cannot settle for “good enough.” Especially when it comes to your technology. Because your success depends on so much more.
And I will reveal to you below many hidden truths as to why this is true. Read on…
My name is Ken Lee, and as a business owner like you, I understand how frustrating, expensive, and time wasting it can be for you and your business to have unreliable computer systems.
But it doesn’t have to be that way…
One of the biggest mistakes, yet commonly practiced by business owners, is ignoring the server and network after their initial setup.
There are critical components in your systems that need to be monitored and maintained on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
…and when over looked, it can spell disaster for your business.
Did you know that the true cost of your IT budget is not what you pay to IT consultants like me?
There are 4 factors that are often overlooked by business owners.
Let’s have a look…
1. When your server or network is down, your employees stop working.
If your employees make an average of $25 an hour, and your network is down for 5 days, multiplied by 30 affected employees, this can easily cost your business $30,000 within just a few days.
2. When your server or network is down, your employees stop producing.
If they bring in 4x what you pay them, Multiply the total cost of work loss by the estimated return from your employees’ productivity can easily cost your company an additional $90,000 lost in productivity.
3. When your server or network is down, customers get unsatisfied, and buy from your competitors.
Your average customer’s lifetime value can range from $500 to $50,000+ depending on the type of business you have, multiplied by the number of lost customers, it can cost your business a lot in loss of business.
4. When your server or network is down, your brand gets damaged.
You know what business you are running and just how much your business reputation is worth. What if you lost your client information and data? Or, what if all your accounting information disappeared? As a result, you can’t deliver, your clients suffer, and they can speak nothing but four letter words about your business. How much do you think you will lose if your brand is damaged?
Of those companies participating in the 2001 Cost of Downtime Survey, 46% said each hour downtime would cost their companies $50,000, while 28% said each hour would cost between $51,000 to $250,000.
That, my friend, is the true cost of your IT budget and break-fix consulting companies don’t want you to understand this because their business model only allows them to profit by the failure of your IT network.
How much can you afford to lose in today’s down economy?
We all hear horror stories of businesses that got infected by nasty viruses that brought down their network for days, crippling their operations and costing them a lot of business.
I’ve personally met a manufacturing company who thought they were backing up all their data, until they got a cold dose of reality when two of their hard drives failed, causing them to lose all of their data.
If that wasn’t bad enough, when they tried recovering their data, they realized that the backup had failed some time back. The company was devastated. They found me and asked for my help. Unfortunately by that time, there was little I could do to help them.
If they had hired us to monitor their network, the backups would have been working properly, and damages on the hard drives could have been detected and resolved with no down time.
And the key here is… “No Down Time.”
I have a health care client who walked into the office, only to realize that it had been broken into, and every piece of computer equipment was stolen. Fortunately, they are part of our Geek Shield service plan and while they had to take a hit on buying new computer equipment, their data is safe and was restored. Their network was up and running within 48 hours.
If they had lost all their data on top of all the damage done by theft, it could have completely put them out of business.
What are some causes of these problems?

Data Loss and Corruption.
Let’s take a look at some of the industry statistics…
When recouping data, it takes 19 days and costs $17,000 to retype 20 megabytes of sales data.
The same volume of accounting data takes 21 days and costs $19,000.
Recreating data from scratch is estimated to cost between $2,000 and $8,000 per MB.
60% of companies that lose their data close within 6 months major data loss.
72% of businesses that suffer major data loss disappear within 24 months.
Virus Attacks.
These malicious virus can cause unnecessary downtime, crashes and data loss.
As many as 60% of major US corporations have experienced virus attacks. (Source: Guard Privacy & Online Security)
Computer Abuse.
Disgruntled Employees. Your data can easily be copied and stolen and/or deleted if not secured properly. Research shows that most attacks on computer networks originate from the inside.
60% of computer abuse is caused by disgruntled employees. Maybe an employee did not end in good terms with you and before they leave the company, they delete some files or corrupt a database.
Hacker & Security. Only 17% of companies whose computers were hacked reported them to law enforcement. Fear of negative publicity was a key reason organizations did not report them.
Conscious Or Unconscious Network Damage.
Do you really know what your employees are doing? They may be browsing a website, downloading a file, opening an unknown e-mail which can all lead to devastating consequences. Your confidential business data can easily land in the wrong hand, accidentally opening a back door for hackers to enter, or open an e-mail virus that brings down your network. Sometimes employees delete things on accident and it would be the business owner’s responsibility to ensure if things like these do happen, there is a way to bring everything back up as quickly as possible with minimal loss.
Why does this happen?
Due to the overwhelming workload of business owners growing their business, they don’t have the time or knowledge to educate themselves about technology risks. They trust that their existing tech knows everything and is always looking out for their best interest… But when the business owner is faced with a business threatening issue, it’s already too late.
Let’s compare it with life insurance. If you have loved ones who depend on you, it would irresponsible not to have life insurance. But for some people, there is a lack of education as to its need, while others think they don’t need life insurance since they’re healthy today.
The same goes with caring for your business data and network.
There is a lack of education as to its severity and how much it actually impacts your business.
Many owners do not see the importance because they think “my systems are working today.”
However, if your company depends on the availability of your business data, it would be irresponsible if you do not have qualified professionals watching over it.

Why Choose Us Over Conventional IT Consultants?
We Believe an Ounce of Prevention is…
Better than a Pound of Cure!
In a traditional IT support, businesses use their network until it “breaks” and then call in the experts to repair or replace whatever stopped working.
This REACTIVE model of dealing with your IT problems is a surefire path to extensive downtime, and excessive spending on IT support, not to mention major disruptions in staff productivity, sales, cash flow, production, and customer service that can never be recovered. Even worse, loss of your critical business data that can literally put you out of business!
Just imagine how good it will feel to have found the right support team to watch over your business 24 hours a day.
The thought of, “Will I go out of business after a major server data crash?” will be a question of the past!
Our service is comparable to hiring a team of full time employees working 24 hours a day that you would normally pay $70,000 a year + 25% benefits package. We understand hiring full time employees is out of the question for a lot of small business below the 50 employee threshold. This is why we can provide you that extra security blanket knowing that your technology is always being watched and is in good hands without the extra cost of hiring more employees. This is a great benefit, especially in this economy.
Other consulting companies profit from your failures. We profit by keeping your computer networking operating at an optimal state. In fact, our Geek Shield plans would cause us to lose money when you have problems because we offer unlimited break fix support.
I hope we’ve proven to you that we really understand your needs.
Let us be that company who gets to take away all your pain, frustration, and worries.
And here’s the best part…
Our Geek Shield will cut your IT spending 30% to 50%
AND improve your network’s reliability and performance at the same time.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1: Hire a Geek will come on-site to perform a 27-point Network Audit to pinpoint vulnerabilities, problems with your backups, security loop-holes, hidden issues, and to diagnose any other problems you are experiencing with your network.
