Tuesday June 15, 2010No referral for you! Come Back, 1 Year!
99% of our clients come from other happy clients. Generally, the best time to ask for a referral is when the person you are asking is the happiest. This could be right after you delivered something really great to them or solved a problem for them.
For the first time, we had a client deny giving us a referral this month. The reason? Wait for it... Because, "If I talk about how incredibly responsive, efficient, perceptive, etc. that [High Power Employee] is then everyone wants him, and I have to wait in line." While this client is one of our favorites, our recipe for cooking up a High Power team scales well as evidenced by our controlled rate of growth so our service doesn't suffer. If you are a happy client of ours, please refer a friend to us and we will buy your next bowl of soup over an appreciation lunch.

You came in UNDER the bid? Silly Graduate!
Meet Jeremy. He has been with High Power since September of 2007 while attending college in persuit of an Electronic Business degree which he just finished from Louisiana's Southern University. He recently earned a High Power Kudos Package which included free caffeinated drinks and an all-you-can-eat beef-fest dinner at Texas de Brazil
complete with Caiperinia (an adult beverage). His crime? High Power was approved to work a 6-week Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Integration job. Jeremy completed it in 4-weeks -- 2-weeks ahead of schedule and budget!
Why not bill the client for six? Why not slack for 2-weeks, surf the web, and give bogus status reports? Because integrity is more important than dollars. We like to say, "We'll make it right so we can sleep at night."
Feel free to call Jeremy at (225) 910-8239 ext 107 and tell him where he went wrong...if you dare.

Don't get iSmart with me, Mister
Smartphone data traffic grew 193 percent year-over-year in the month of February, with Apple dominating the market but Android making its presence felt slowly but surely, according to a report from AdMob. There seems to be an App for everything these days, but who do you get to write these Apps if you want one written?
The top smartphone OS worldwide on AdMob's network was Apple's iPhone, with 50 percent of the global market, up from 33 percent a year prior. High Power just wrote its first data-driven iPhone application complete with GPS functions and charting (Yes, the image there is our application). You would not believe how quickly we can create iPhone and iPad apps.
Give me, (Calvin) a call at (225) 910-8250 and I'll demo an app for you on your iPhone.

Another SLU Lion gets the Big Head
Robert, a recent SLU hire from Intern-status, is shown here with the "Big Head." Here's the skinny: In his first month of full-time work with High Power he created a Lead Scheduling Application
for our client which included some really nice drag-and-drop functionality which helped our client more effectively schedule appointments. After demonstrating his work over GotoMeeting, which we do weekly with our clients, applause erupted from our client's location. The aroma of High Power Pride permeated our office space and yet another Kudos Package was rendered.
Robert is an avid tennis player with a temper opposite of John McEnroe's. While love means nothing in tennis, it does when it comes to Robert's affection for serving up C# programming. You can contact him at (225) 910-8239 ext 102 to match up your needs with his.
In all fairness, Robert didn't really get the "Big Head." He is the most humble and gracious guy on staff and is a pleasure to work with. We just take a number of literary liberties here at High Power.
