vCIO Services

Small businesses today need virtual CIO to help manage their IT and keep on top of their administrative duties (easy stuff like creating new accounts, terminations, security, backup, troubleshooting, day to day questions). I have been a vCIO (virtual CIO) for years for many of my clients. Mostly for those that have Office 365. I have my own account and can do the simple requests needed here and there. I also remote into the employee computers and can fix simple problems quickly. Many also want project work completed and as a vCIO I help work on the technical projects such as company wide Multi-factor authentication, buying new computers, remote access, SharePoint sync, OneDrive sync, training.

I can assist with Microsoft Office 365, GSuite and any company on POP/IMAP for their email.

Sorry, we could not sign you in Google-IMAP

There are many reasons why you might get this error. My usual fixes were not working (be sure you are logged into Gmail in your default browser) but today I found this fix on Google support page. It worked, miracle! I do believe this is for the paid Office version, not Office 365.

Technology Optimization Expert

Businesses from the solopreneur to the smaller companies under 500 employees all need someone who is technical to help run their IT infrastructure. Like many of my clients in 2008, business boomed during the recession and 12 years later…many of you have grown and outgrown managing your own IT. While many have delegated the “IT Director” title to someone in the company, most of those folks have other tasks to do and keeping up with IT and all related issues is very challenging. Since everyone is using the cloud for data of some sorts, having a FT person is unreasonable and not always the best use of a budget.

This is where I step in. The majority of my clients who call me for Outlook and Office 365 help, typically are self-managing their systems. I help run their Office 365 admin and basic systems issues.  Most call me their “IT Director” jokingly, but it’s because I have admin access to their Office 365 and can step in and help admin on a moment’s notice. I give solid advice and help them run their self-managed systems (such as how to check your Windows updates often, how to close Outlook properly, stop Googling and call me first, is your backup current, call me before buying any software online).

Benefits of having a Technology Optimization Expert like me!

  • No contracts, paid in 3 hour blocks of time. Tracked in 15 min increments.
  • No HR budget/no FTE, 1099
  • If you have managed IT company, I assist with tasks outside their wheelhouse
  • Fast direct access to me via cell phone and early morning emergency/night/weekends

How it works

  • Onboarding to collect all data needed
  • Then for 2 months, usage is tracked
  • After 2 months, a report will be generated of all your helpdesk tickets and determine monthly pricing (monthly retainer

I offer my clients many services, check out my list below. 

  • Administrator for all software and accounts
  • Helpdesk for all IT
  • Troubleshooting calls, new user account setup, termination of accounts
  • Software installation

Onboarding Forms for Computer Technicians

Onboarding Forms for Computer Technicians

 

Hi Technicians! In the past year I have needed to create new onboarding forms. Too many technical hiccups were popping up on my client’s computers for me to just start working on an Outlook issue as I used to do in the past. Now I need to know more; are they logged into Windows with a Microsoft account, what version of Office? Home or business? What bit version? How large were the OST files? What types of accounts was I dealing with?  I cover all of this in my video below. I explain why I check for each and what problems can happen. Check it out and I hope it helps you with your business.

Please check out my Tech Ticket sale I have running until Dec 31, 2019! Get a last minute business write off and have me around to help you and your business when you come across your next Outlook challenging ticket!

Sale until Dec 31, 2019! $249 for a 2 hour tech ticket

Email me Lisa@callthatgirl.biz and I’ll send an invoice 

How you can use the ticket

  • Your team can email me quick questions/these are free if they literally are quick
  • If not, I can remote in between my other appointments to offer some guidance on how I would fix it.
  • You can schedule an appointment for me to remote in and offer guidance on how repair or I can actually do the repair myself
  • Help you learn with personal training, see the next section “Upskilling”
  • All 2 hour tickets can be used in 15 min increments of time. Most of the techs who currently have a ticket with me use it in small increments of time. They want to learn and then do it themselves. Some repairs can be tedious but I’m great at giving an outline of the repairs needed!

UpSkilling – Hire me to help you learn all of this and more

  • Office 365 sales for home/res. Not sure of the difference? I will cover all the Office 365 buying options for you clients and best practice.
  • How to purchase -Through a vendor such as Pax8 or another company
  • Basic Office 365 admin/setup accounts/domains
  • Do you know how to do migrations? If not, I can help you learn. If I help with your first migration, this might take more time.
  • SharePoint setup– Basic setup, data transfer/Windows sync/Mobile use and sharing
  • OneDrive setup –Basic setup, data transfer/Windows sync/Mobile use
  • I’ll give you my prepay ticket video so you can learn how I sell them to Office 365 clients.
  • Probably other things as I think of it when we work together.

Other ways I can help

  • Refer me! Got an Outlook issue out of control or outside of your wheelhouse? I pay 10% commission on all referrals, immediately paid via paypal after the job is done. Most of my clients buy a 3 hour ticket, $499….so that’s $50 in your pocket for telling the client “This is an Outlook expert request” and then you’re free of the issue. There is nothing wrong with telling a client that Outlook is a specialty software, like Quickbooks.

Other things I sell or give away

As a computer business owner, I got tired of dealing with payment issues and…
