Management
From Elizabeth
Blanchard, President of Informed
Consider yourself lucky. You have the chance
to do business with Strategic Advantage.
I am a business owner who's always been
perplexed by technology. I recognize that I must use it to grow my business,
and yet I've always been slightly intimidated by it. What's more, I've also
been afraid of relying on the so-called "technology experts" at
area computer stores, namely because they repeatedly demonstrate that they
are interested in selling me "Band-Aid" solutions that rarely
deliver as promised.
When you do business with Brad Snyder and his
team, you do far more than purchase a product or service. you're entering a
great business relationship.
Let me demonstrate:
Recently, I got stalled in the midst of a
computer upgrade.
Brad had expressed a willingness to help me
plan for my businesses' growing technology needs, and he was going to stop
by my office to pick up a business plan to assess our needs. The evening
before, I just happened to mention that I:
- Couldn't get the software on my new Palm
Pilot to work with my desktop
- Needed to install a new CD-ROM
- Needed to install a tape backup drive.
I asked Brad if he would be willing to
"help" me with the components over lunch, and he cheerfully
agreed.
During the "quick fix", we ran into
problems. Brad left, promising that he'd fix them all.
To be honest, a part of me really wasn't
expecting him to do much.
I was wrong.
My "quick fix" quickly turned into
a big headache for Brad. But he made myriad calls and tracked down isolated pieces of hardware
that would have driven a less patient person (me) absolutely bonkers.
All for a little more opportunity of doing
business with InforMED.
I look forward to a long and prosperous
relationship with Brad and I urge you to consider the same.

From Cate Morris Owner of Biz-Basics, Ltd
We would like to take this opportunity to
tell you what a tremendous resource and assistance you have been to our
company. During the past year our organization has grown three fold and the
technology and computer system you recommended has stood the test. As you
know neither my husband nor myself are what you would consider noteworthy
computer operators. It is due to the simplicity and ease of use that we have
survived such a phenomenal rate of expansion.
On a personal basis as one consultant to
another, your expertise and business savvy as saved me on many occasions. It
is so important to be surrounded by experienced professionals who know and
understand the intricacies of entrepreneurship. The road is a different and
often confusing one. Thank you for helping to guide the future on my
organization to the correct platform.
We look forward to a continued successful
relationship and await the year 2000 with great expectations. Please let us
know if there is ever anything we can do to assist you.
Respectfully,
Cate Morris
Owner
Biz-Basics, Ltd.

From Gaile
Varnum, President, Gaile Varnum & Associates
Thank you so much for your ability to explain
technological use and function as clearly and effortlessly as you do.
I had the opportunity to work with you for a
National Seminars project: I watched you teach large groups as well as two
or three people at a time; I benefited from one-on-one tutoring with you as
well. In every case, your overall assets of patience, clarity and humor
consistently struck me. You helped me revamp a bias I have held for a long
time - that computer-types have no relationship or "people "
skills!
You are a strong "people-person" as
well as "tech-type"; I trust you know what a rare combination that
is.
I would be honored to recommend your services
to anyone needing a technological consultant or trainer at any time. I also
look forward to our continuing networking through the National Speakers
Association.
Thanks again,
Gaile Varnum

From Sheila
Warnock, Assistant Director, University of Kansas Small Business Development
Center
Thank you for participating in the 1998
Survival Skills for Small Business seminars presented by the Lawrence
Chamber of Commerce and the University of Kansas Small Business Development
Center. As moderator of the panel discussion, you did an excellent job of
introducing the subject matter and the panel members. Moreover, you did an
especially great job of keeping the momentum of discussion flowing between
the audience and the panelists. The content and the delivery of all the
panelists were superb, and we appreciate your keeping everyone on track.
Your multi-media approach was very creative
and interactive; we had many positive comments on the "Mission
Impossible" theme. The insights you shared about your experience with
"guerilla partnerships" were informative and enlightening, and the
feed back was very positive -- the audience definitely enjoyed your
presentation.
As a small business owner yourself, you are
aware of the issues and challenges and entrepreneur must face, not the least
of which is finding time to operate ant manage the varied aspects of your
business. We certainly appreciate your taking time out of your day to
contribute tot he community and to the education of fellow small business
owners.
Sincerely,
Shala Warnock
