Most people mistakenly think computer consulting is all about IT-related solutions. The reality... it's the quality of relationships that matter most (with prospects, customers, clients, partner, subcontractors, and staff... and of course, as you reference, your distributors and wholesalers.) To grow your profit margins at Fix IT Computers & Repair, you should really consider adding marketing activities that reach prospective small business clients that are big enough to need your company's services on a regular basis. Best wishes, Joshua Feinberg Hi Mark,

I now have 2 repair/retail shop in NC and have disovered the market only taylors to thouse who have alot of money. If you are more like myself and have very little while expanding then it comes down to having a "wholesaler" to provide cheap systems. If you can get 5-20 laptops for a fair price (at least get 2x what you put in) that are good machines then your retail will be profitable.
