Desperate for Computer Repairs, Chicago Businessman Buys High-Tech Franchise

Businessman Bob Nash has become the owner of two new Geeks On Call franchises, which service the on-site computing needs of homes and small-to-medium-sized businesses in the northwest Chicago suburbs.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 11, 2004 -- Throughout his lengthy, award-winning career in the fields of sales and marketing, businessman Bob Nash has proven that he knows exactly what it takes to provide outstanding customer service. Perhaps thats why he became so frustrated recently when he tried to obtain in-home support for his computer network. He found the number of qualified technicians to be in short supply, and the ones who would make house calls were even scarcer. If computers have essentially become indispensable appliances in our modern world, Nash wondered, why cant they receive the same type of trustworthy repairs and service that others appliances -- like refrigerators -- receive? The more he thought about this quandary, the more he ruminated about how a high-quality, on-site computer-support company could have a tremendous impact on the computer industry. Right then and there he decided to start his own company and fill the computer-support void in his local community. However, he discovered that it would take substantial amounts of time and money to launch such an endeavor, and he realized that he wouldnt be able to go it alone. So he researched the various types of franchises available from computer services companies, which led him directly to Geeks On Call® -- the nations premier provider of on-site computer support. Now Nash has become the owner of two new Geeks franchises, which service the homes and small-to-medium-sized businesses in the northwest Chicago suburbs.    

In order to provide the best possible computer support, Nash has hired two full-time experts to perform the mobile computer repairs, troubleshooting, upgrades, networking, and other essential services. This, in turn, allows Nash to concentrate on what he does best: managing the day-to-day marketing and business dealings for both of his franchises. Nashs business career began many years ago at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, where he earned a Bachelors in Industrial Technology with a concentration in sales. After honing his sales skills in a few short-term positions, Nash became employed with a successful company that manufactures stenographic (court reporting) machines and accompanying software. A few years later he was promoted to the level of Director of Marketing and eventually worked his way up to the prestigious position of Vice President of Technical Support and Training. All of this business experience has given Nash a keen sense of the right and wrong ways to run a company. This was echoed by the President of Geeks On Call®, Walter Ewell, who said The first thing that impressed me about Bob Nash was his knowledge about what it takes to provide respected leadership and to motivate a company to offer the best possible customer service. I know hell make an impressive Geek."    

The premise of Geeks On Call® is simple: gone are the days of lugging computers to a local technician for updates or repairs. Instead, Geeks On Call® brings complete computer support directly to homes and businesses. Everything the Geeks technicians need to complete their tasks is nestled inside their sleek Chrysler PT Cruisers -- affectionately known as Geek Cruisers" -- which are emblazoned with the Geeks On Call® logo and toll-free phone number.
   
Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call® initially served the areas of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA. In response to its tremendous success, Geeks planted its first franchise in 2001. Since then, approximately 175 franchises have been cultivated throughout the United States. This rapid growth is a reflection of the publics hunger for quality on-site computer assistance.

Prior to Geeks On Call®, residential customers in need of computer support often faced tremendous expense and lengthy down-time -- with no guarantee of satisfaction. The expedient, reliable services provided by Geeks On Call® also have become a necessity for small businesses, giving them exposure to licensed technicians, and eliminating the cost of hiring a full-time IT staff. Now everyone has access to superior computer repairs, upgrades, troubleshooting, training, and wired/wireless networking -- without emptying their wallets.

Currently, Geeks On Call® offers service in the following states: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. To schedule fast, on-site computer support, call 1-800-905-GEEK.
