They are based in the Toronto area and have a large customer base in Canada, United States and the UK.

Beware of sextortionists:

Just had another customer shocked by a scam email and I found a link to help explain it.

In the past, they’ve pretended to have your passwords – now they’re pretending to send email from your “hacked” account, too.

Counting Selling Steps:

We got an order! Must say that this order wasn't directly from the media campaigns but the new web site and word-of-mouth lead to it.

So, please help us along with 'likes', 'shares' and word-of-mouth. If you haven't got a clue as to what we offer, visit the site ► https://www.jrdapps.com

If you have time to be really helpful, please give us a review on this page and on Google ►https://local.google.com/place?id=17101638294394496086&use=srp

This is a brief article I posted on LinkedIn to help folks update and speed up their computers.

Gone are the days when you had to replace your computer every three or four years. Most computers built since 2010 use what I refer to as modern technologies: multi-core CPU, SATA drives and capacity to handle at least 4Gb of RAM.

This is a share from Alignable. We're not sure if this community web site will bring in any business yet but since we use the free version it's worth trying it out for a while and connecting with some other local businesses. If you're looking for new contacts/prospects, it might be a good tool for you.

Thank you for the recognition and check out all our recommendations on Alignable.

Selling Steps:

We changed the measurements a little for the Facebook portion of the stats to count post views instead of page views as visits. This changes the engagement percentage quite a bit but I think it's more representative.

Still at zero purchases but it takes time to match the message to the right person at the right time.

We still love word-of-mouth sharing so mention JRD Apps™ to some folks IRL.

It was recommended that I use puppies to add some 'likeability' to my posts. Well here's one for you. Awww.

Keith sort of says I'm a good boy--and all ears when it comes to working with my customers. Thanks.

"I have known John and worked with him for at least 10 years. He has been instrumental in building web sites for our company and for designing a special web app for our environmental business. John is super easy to work with as he listens to make sure he comes up with what is needed. If there's one word I would use to describe John it would be Integrity. John would be the first web/app designer I would go to if I needed this kind of technology." ~ Keith, Raymond, WA

Thanks for the pic Pam Doughty.

This is a repost with an infographic to see if anyone notices.

'Engagements' still going up in real numbers and percentage. We're hoping to get the 'Visits' up without doing a lot of paid promotion.

If we could just get a few more likes and a share or two who knows?

Engagements: The next level. We'll be counting how many of the visitors poke around the page: click on something, stay long enough to read a few things etc.

Purchases: The final level. How many of the visits and engagements become purchases.

A nice recommendation from a good customer in California. Thanks Julia.

"I really appreciate having JRD Apps handle many of our software, support and backup needs. We have for a variety of reasons required the rebuild of our programs and files through the JRD Apps back up service. It was efficient and easy to accomplish a full transfer of back up documents to the network and our local computers. Personally, we have found John to be knowledgeable, reliable and quick to respond to our needs. It is without reservation, we give this recommendation." ~Julia, OakRidge Consultants, Seal Beach, CA

Selling Metrics Update:

We've seen a pretty good uptick in the 'Engagements' number. Mostly from Facebook and Alignable. Still no purchases to credit to this initiative but we did pick up another Quickbooks cloud hosting customer this week via a referral from an accountant.

There's a good chance you're not going to be a buyer of any of our services but maybe someone you know would be a good prospect. So, please like and share this post because that sort of activity actually helps. That's why you see the request so often.
