Never Ask an IT Services Company, “What Do You Charge For Your Services?” Instead You Should Ask, “What Will I Get For My Money?”

One of the most common questions IT Squared Resource, Inc. gets from new prospective clients calling their office is “What do you guys charge for your services?” Since this is such a common question — and a very important one to address — President and Founder of IT Squared Resource, Inc., Kris Fenton will pull back the curtain and help business owners for 3 reasons:

1. To educate technology decision makers on the most common ways IT services companies package and price their services, and the pros and cons of each approach.

2. To bring to light a few “industry secrets” about IT service contracts and SLAs (service level agreements) that almost no business owner thinks about, understands or knows to ask about when evaluating IT service providers. Knowing these secrets can keep you from getting burned with hidden fees and locking you into a long-term contract if your provider is unwilling or unable to deliver the quality of service you need.

3. To educate business owners on how to pick the right IT services company for their specific situation, budget and needs based on the VALUE the company can deliver, not just the price, high OR low.

In the end, her purpose is to help you make the most informed decision possible so you end up working with someone who helps you solve your problems and accomplish what you want in a time frame, manner and budget that is right for you.
