It's not too late! YOU can get into Managed Services -- in a month.

Based on Karl's very popular SmallBizThoughts blog, this book is guaranteed to improve your business. Hundreds of people have taken the challenge and become MSPs in a month -- and so can you!

 

This book is available in three forms:

 

- As a book

Our Biggest Seller!

 

We all say we need to document that network someday. Well someday is here!

 

The Network Documentation Workbook came out of the standard procedures of KPEnterprises, a small business consulting firm in Sacramento, CA. Karl has been a successful network consultant for more than twenty years.

 

The "Consultant Edition" allows you to document all of your clients' networks. You get all the forms on CD-ROM in both Word and PDF format. You can customize them for your operation, including putting your own logo on the forms.

 


 

"This workbook and the included CD are a must for the small business IT consultant.

. . .

Bottom line - you will win a customer for life when someone new comes in and they don't need to be hand-held or shown how everything works.

This book does not have any revolutionary earth-changing principles - it is just a ton of work condensed into templates so you can be very productive right away. Even if you tried to recreate some of the work by hand it would not make financial sense."
