Meeting Reminder This Friday 4/24!
NWMP’s is pleased to have John Chaffee of BusyMac as our guest presenter for the April meeting. BusyMac has recently released version 1.0 of their newest program for OS X, BusyContacts. It will now take its place alongside BusyCal as a great solution for those seeking a more powerful replacement to Apple’s Calendar and Contacts. John will demo the program for us. Here’s a great review of BusyContacts and interview with John.
In addition, we will also have a round table discussion about some of the various methods procedures, and best practices we as consultants and tech support providers employ when supporting our clients. For example, we will talk about if you require clients to sign a contract or some type of TOS. Does your company offer Managed Services? What type of intake procedure does your company employ? How do you handle billing?Do you use PayPal or Freshbooks for example?
Also, if time permits we can geek out on the new MacBook and also the Apple Watch, and discuss how we will be might be offering these products to our clients.
NWMP will also try and provide remote login for those members who can not be there in person. Send an email to newsletter@nwmacpro.com with “remote login” in the subject line if you are interested in participating remotely.
