Issue 2 - March 2007
 
 
 
We received excellent feedback from our first issue that went out to almost 500 clients. Thank you!
We want to ensure this e-newsletter is informative with useful hints and tips on business and IT - of course - making IT work for you!
In line with that we wanted to highlight that we are more than happy to provide advice on any electrical or IT purchase - even if not from us.
Time and time again we have clients call saying they're having trouble with this or that, that they bought 'on sale' somewhere. Of course we're happy to assist - but most of the time they've been duped into buying inferior or even obsolete equipment - if only they'd contacted us and received FREE advice.
Before doing anything please call us we'd be more than happy to listen to you, and provide the best advice, FREE of charge. That is making IT work for you! That is Aftershock.

He's knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He's able to exert pressure without being offensive and has many other great sales skills but his most impressive attribute is mastery of testimonial marketing...
