American Family Dental Testimonial

I have had some difficulty with toothaches for about a year and in one visit to Dr. Shatto, I had a plan in writing with estimated expenses. I’m very impressed with Dr. Shatto’s dental knowledge, his ability to explain the situation, and the business acumen of the office staff.

Roger Taylor Testimonial

Sometimes it not taking action that can really cost you that extra money  Inaction reinforces our comfort zone and the invisible drain of revenue is on the surface, painless because you simply don't know it's happening. Procrastination can also continue  if you have to spend even a minimal amount to investigate a proactive action.
We were somewhat aware of what Dwell Green of Dallas did but certainly not to the extent that we found out later. He did a great job.  It started with just a simple phone call to Roger Taylor and the resulting process was simple and streamlined.  Roger asked us a few background questions and proceeded to do his homework on how to best approach an energy audit for our home. We selected the best time to meet and he showed up when he said he would.  The whole process was done with care and thoroughness  No corners were cut and the analysis showed countless energy potential saving actions.  All his recommendations were presented in a report.  I don't know how our report was as compared to others, but the money saving opportunities were substantial.  Even had the report shown no energy saving potential, it would still be worth the price to find out.
In summery, the very small amount for his services is one of the best values out there today.  It gave us a plan of action for a safer and more comfortable home along with substantial energy cost savings. Obviously we are happy with the testing and the report Roger gave us.  It was educational  and informative.  We would obviously recommend Dwell Green to anyone.

PC Werks Testimonial

When I needed computer repair, Robert saved by business computer from a serious issue which required obtaining parts from the UK for my highly specialized business computer. To top it off, I continued to run my business by restoring files to a temporary computer using Robert’s backup/restore solution. I’m very relieved to have retained all my data throughout this problem. Robert Torres is a very knowledgeable in the IT world of networks, servers, and mobile devices for small and medium size businesses. He has many years of experience in the industry and has many satisfied customers. He exhibits great leadership skills and high integrity in his personal and business life, does what he promises, and is always looking for the best rates for his clients. Robert is certainly a person you should do business with.

Cathy Ostmeyer Testimonial

For those of that have used Cathy’s realtor services, you know that she is the best around.  What I have discovered recently is that not only is Cathy able to help you buy a home here in the metroplex, but Cathy can help you buy a home anywhere in the country.   I have a friend who is in the military and just moved from Georgia to Washington State.  He was interested in buying a home in Washington and  needed a realtor in the Seatle area that he could trust.  I spoke with Cathy about his situation, and she was able to reach out to an associate in Washington that helped him buy his home.  The realtor Cathy set him up handled the situation with the same professionalism that Cathy always does any my friend is the proud owner of a new home in Seattle.   So whether you need a home in the metroplex, or anywhere in the country, Cathy is the  realtor you can trust to get it done.

Anne Sotack

Aflac – Independent Agent

328 New Hope Rd, Suite 6

Sunnyvale, TX 75182

&nbsp;

Dear Anne,

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your taking the time to set my company up with Aflac supplemental insurance.  As a small business owner, it is getting harder (more costly) to offer my employees meaningful benefits.  The insurance packages that you and Aflac have provided us offer help not only to my employees and I, but also to our families.

You made the entire process very easy.  You came to my office multiple times. You took the time to explain our options. You provided us with a cost effective solution.  I also appreciate your helping me with the new IRS form 1210-0149.  You are a great resource for any business person wanting to offer a little more to their employees.

Sincerest thanks.

PC Werks Testimonial

Robert at PC Werks has helped my family with a variety of computer issues.  We have had performance issues with 3 machines, bought a laptop from him at a very fair price, and most recently took advantage of his remote support service and cloud backup service.  The remote support service is refreshing because I actually know the person that is doing things to my machine, unlike the commercial technical support help lines.  An added bonus that comes with the cloud backup service is the ability to share and sync files across all of my computers and phones (really cool).

Robert Torres is a very knowledgeable in the IT world of networks, servers, on-line internet, search engine, and mobile devices for small and medium size businesses.   He has many years of experience in the industry and has many satisfied customers.  He exhibits great leadership skills and high integrity in his personal and business life, does what he promises, and is always looking for the best rates for his clients.  Robert is certainly a person you should do business with.

10 Reasons a Business Needs a Mobile App

In today's business world, there many different ways to advertise.  Mobile apps provide a wide range of advantages over traditional marketing media.

One of the only forms of advertising that builds in equity over time.  Value in TV, Radio, Direct Mail etc is gone once you spend the money and the ads are run.  Mobile apps build in value over time as you get more downloads.  The longer you have the app, the more valuable it becomes.
Mobile Apps are the ONLY form of advertising that allows you to reach out to your customers RIGHT NOW.  No other form of advertising allows you send your customers' your marketing message with the click of a mouse.  Having a slow night?  Send out a push notification with promotions to bring people in the door with geo targeted notifications as well as the ability to schedule them for the future.
Your customers are CHOOSING to accept your marketing message and are carrying your business everywhere on their mobile phone.  Your customers will install your mobile app on their phone because they WANT to do business with you.  Devices like DVR, satellite radio, mp3 players, and computers have made other forms of advertising lose tremendous value.
Increase brand awareness – Every mobile app gets an icon that appears on the mobile device.  By having your mobile app installed on your customers' phones, they'll see your logo all time as they use their phone.  This drives ongoing branding on their phone, which puts you a couple taps of their screen away from getting a phone call.
Increase customer loyalty – By adding a loyalty rewards program within the mobile app, you can reward the customer for their continued business and bring customers back.
Generate new customer – Mobile apps allow users can share the app with their friends &amp; family through email, SMS, or social media
Improve online reputation – With social media integration, your users can build up a buzz about your business.

Matthew Lee Testimonial

Matthew Lee is a partner in an outstanding video productions company. LPH Productions did about a 60 second commercial for my husband and I for marketing purposes in our business. It went so smoothly it was amazing. They had the scripts ready for us and we went through them a few times and then did the videoing. Matthew and his team are true professionals that do an outstanding job with video productions. My husband, Larry, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their quality of work.

In addition, LPH Productions videoed our son’s wedding recently. Everything went so smoothly at the wedding at the church and then they went to the reception at a different location to continue videoing. That is service! We will be able to watch our son’s wedding again and again and we will all have a special keepsake for years to come!

You can depend on Matthew and his team to provide exceptional service in the utmost professional way. Matthew and LPH Productions truly care about their clients and will go the extra mile to accommodate them! I highly recommend LPH Productions to anyone that wants to market their business or that wants a special family event videoed!

Chad Milner Testimonial

Chad Milner is an outstanding mortgage lender with Integrity Mortgage. Chad gets his loans closed on time and usually is ready early! He also attends all his closings which is rare today. Chad does what it takes to help our clients get approved so that they can get a loan to buy a home.

We had one challenging loan recently that had to close on time or the buyers would lose some of their moving deposit and escrow money. Somehow Chad got it closed that day. The buyers were elated and able to move on time to their new home.

You can depend on Chad to provide exceptional service in the utmost professional way. Chad truly cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to help them! I highly recommend Chad to anyone that wants to buy or refinance a home.

Michael Taysom Testimonial

I have referred some of my clients to Michael.  The last client that I referred asked me to attend their meeting with Michael.  I was privileged to observe Michael in action. The purpose of the meeting was to determine if the client should retire, take a lump-sum distribution from her employer, and determine if enough funds would be available if she retired.

I was very impressed with the professional manner in which Michael handled the client.  He asked questions that were relevant to their risk level, current lifestyle, and retirement lifestyle.  Michael listened very carefully to the answers and responded with relevant and solid answers.

My client is very happy with the time and care that Michael took with them. The client has decided to retire and take the lump sum distribution and has chosen Michael’s firm, Edward Jones to hold and manage the funds.

I recommend Michael for anyone that is in need of retirement planning or investment planning.  Michael handles my retirement plan and I am very pleased.

Dallas Security Systems Dealer
 


All systems are not created equal. In fact, some should not even be allowed to be classified as security.

I have a great passion for educating others on the best security measures for their home or business.  I have personally experienced burglaries and home invasion and therefore have a very good understanding of the importance of peace of mind.  My desire is always to give you the best prevention so that you never experience a life changing event, however I am also able to bring back peace of mind after such an event with the highest rated security system on the market right now.  The greatest system however, serves no purpose if you forget to arm it.  This system won't allow you to forget.

Our system will text you when you leave the property to remind you to arm which you can do from your cell. While security is our focus, there is so much more to this system.  If you like gadgets, you will love being able to change the thermostat and start the coffee before you ever get out from under the covers.  If you leave your garage door open AGAIN, your system will text you and you can close from your phone! If someone is snooping around your house, your camera will shoot a video clip to your cell as soon as they walk in front of camera.  Or if you are watching the game and your buddies walk up , enjoy the convenience of seeing on your cell and unlocking the door without ever getting off the couch.

This system is THE SYSTEM.

As well, Joe provided me with several options for my home.  My wife and son stay home during the day, which is when the majority of break in’s happen, so I have been looking for better alternative to her answering the door blindly.  We don’t have a peep hole and she is too curious to not answer the door if someone knocks.  Needless to say, I needed to do something.  So, Joe installed a camera on our front door that she can view from her Ipad.  It is exactly what we needed.
If you have security needs, home or business, I highly recommend Joe Thacker and American Defense Systems.  
Sincerely,
Blake Gentry

Caldwell Insurance Testimonial

I referred one of my more difficult clients to Randy.  The client’s commercial insurance had been cancelled by the previous insurance carrier.  Randy was able to find coverage for my client and was able to start the coverage so that there was no lapse in coverage.

I was very impressed with the professional manner in which Randy handled the client.  He worked hard to fill the client’s needs and at the same time, built a relationship of trust with the client that he was able to provide an additional policy for another business that the client owns.

My client is very happy with the time and care that Randy took with him.

I recommend Randy for anyone that is in need of commercial insurance.  He goes to great lengths to satisfy his customers’ needs.

Sincerely,

Edith E. Smith, CPA

I've been a member of the Dallas BNI Fortune Builders chapter now for a year and a half, and can safely say that I get over 75% of my business as a result of the referrals I get from BNI.  It helps me save money on advertising and reduces the need to cold call.

Deploy Pro Panic Button

Safety is the number one concern.  Deploy Pro includes a panic button that gives its users a beacon in case of an emergency.  When activating the panic button, the app will countdown from 10 to zero.  When finished, it will raise your phone's volume to full and emit a tornado siren type sound and also flash the phone's camera light like a strobe light.  In the future, we are also looking for this feature to add a way point on the map at your location.

This function is activated by tapping on the red "Panic" button that is available in the top right corner of every screen in the app.

Deploy Pro Map Waypoints

Deploy Pro gives users the ability to set way points on a map that are shared with other users.  You set way points by tapping on the way point button and then tapping on the screen where you want it to appear.  This opens the way point dialog box.  Simply select the icon you wish to use, type in any description you want to attach, and hit save.  Your way point will appear on the screen in the desired location.  Other users simply need to hit refresh on their map for the icon to appear on their phone.

In the first version, there are 6 icon options to choose from:

Auto Accident (orange with car icon)
Command Location (black with star icon)
Fire (green with fire icon)
Miscellaneous (red with white x)
Power Line Down (yellow with lighting icon)
Victim Location (white with red cross)

Deploy Pro also allows users to delete way points when they are no longer needed.  Simply tap on an icon that you set and hit the delete button.  To keep the app operating at top performance, they will automatically be deleted in 72 hours if they are not deleted by the user.

Shown in this image are user pins as well as several way points set by different users.
