You do a very good job, easily the best in the Ottawa market for your

industry. You seem to find a way to make a topic that is usually a source of frustration for business owners and make it a bit fun. Good hires is also something you have done well with, even when a client gets frustrated, your team always seems to rise to the occasion and even if the news isn’t good news, there is a real sense that they care.

FREE2 HOURSNETWORK SUPPORT

As you can see, I’ve included a small (soft!) hammer with this letter for two reasons:

Here’s what this is all about: My name is Jim Stackhouse and I’m the owner of NeoLore Networks Inc. Since we specialize in fixing computer problems for business owners like you, I know how incredibly frustrating it can be to have your computer, printer, or laptop not working when you have deadlines to meet and work to be done.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce that we’ve discovered a way to proactively monitor and maintain the computers in your office to practically eliminate the most common causes of “computer rage,” including…

I have something very important to tell you so I want to be absolutely sure I have your attention, and…

Since most people feel like taking a hammer to their computer when it’s not working, I thought a hammer “stress ball” would be an appropriate eye-catcher.

P.S. I want to be very clear that when you take us up on this offer, you are not expected to do or buy anything. As a matter of fact, I will give you my personal guarantee that you won’t have to deal with a pushy, arrogant salesperson, because I don’t appreciate heavy sales pressure any more than you do. So go ahead and activate your voucher now.You can either claim your free service call right away, OR you can keep it on retainer for when you feel you will need it. Either way, go ahead and respond now…you’ll be glad you did!

* Be sure to include your name, company and mailing address so we can enter you into our system and be ready when you call.

Send an e-mail to [email protected] with “Please activate me” in the subject

Maybe you don’t have an urgent problem that needs to be fixed right now. Maybe you think you have your computer network “handled.” Maybe you don’t even have a regular IT support guy and think you don’t need our services. After all, if it ain’t broke, why fix it?You sit down at your computer and it starts right up, runs lightning fast, and

does exactly what you need it to without any hang-ups or problems. You sleep easier at night knowing that a team of professionals are watching over your network and your data 24/7, 365 days a year to make sure it’s safe from hackers, viruses, spyware, and loss. And, in the rare instance when you do experience some kind of problem, you pick up the phone and within minutes a technician is logging into your computer remotely and fixing it on the spot. No muss no fuss.

They all should do this, but many don’t. In fact, the term “managed services” has become a buzz word that all IT companies throw around. However, there are a lot of scammers out there who say they’re monitoring your network – and charging you for it – but who are not proactively finding and fixing problems. In fact, I would encourage you to review the “How Does Your Current Computer Support Guy Stack Up” checklist included with this letter to see if your IT guy really, truly is PROACTIVELY monitoring and maintaining your network.

I completely understand that point of view, so let me suggest how you can still profit from this offer: Even if you don’t have an immediate problem, you can use your 2 free hours of network support to have us conduct a complete audit of your computer systems and network for hidden problems developing under the surface that could turn into bigger, more disastrous events that could cost you thousands in lost productivity, downtime, and computer repair bills. At no charge, one of our friendly technicians will come to your office and:

Check for security loop holes that would allow viruses or hackers access to your network.

Validate that your backups are actually running properly.

Review system logs for error messages and warnings signs for hard drive failures.

Diagnose slow, unstable PCs.

Perform a quick network “tune-up” to make programs and files load faster.Review any issue or problem you’ve been having, or just give you a third party opinion.

IMAGINE…

BUT DON’T ALL ITCOMPANIES DO THIS?

Some people think we are crazy for offering free services. They say, “Aren’t you afraid people will just take advantage of you?” The truth is, some people might – but we know that most business owners are just honest people trying to find someone they can trust to fix and maintain their computer network.

That’s why I want to give you the first service call for free. I know that we are hands down the best at what we do, but I don’t think it’s fair for you to risk your money to find out.

SO WHY ARE WE GIVINGAWAY FREE SUPPORT? EASY WAYS TO

“ACTIVATE” YOURFREE SERVICECALL VOUCHER

BUT WHAT IFYOU DON’T HAVE APROBLEM RIGHTNOW?

Looking forward to meeting you,
