Thankfully, this customer had AppleCare+ $99 coverage each time, but the screen was broken to the point where it was black (all three times), so you could not see their data. Each time I assisted them, I had

Now, I don’t think I’m the person who invented this strategy, but this worked out beautifully for me. I found out from a friend of a friend that a person that I’ve been dying to talk to was flying the same airline that I usually fly out of BWI. So, I decided to meet up

Don’t give up on a sick Mac just because the Apple Store says it won’t turn on. Thankfully, the customer who owns this MacBook Pro 16” from 2019 was referred to MacMedics by the Apple Store. I got it up and running while they waited. The unit was having some power port issues, and the

How I became the #1 sales funnel for one of my clients.

Consulting, Dana Stibolt Coaching, Dana Stibolt Consulting, MacMedics /

How I became the #1 sales funnel for one of my clients. One of my long-time coaching clients also provides a service to my business; over time, his service has saved me over $100,000. I’ve become his business’s number-one sales funnel. Why? He does not have a marketing system set up; he relies on word-of-mouth.
