The first step to getting your name out there when starting up a computer consulting company is to develop your marketing message.

Referrals are hands down the best kind of lead you can get for your business. Most computer repair companies survive off of referrals and word of mouth marketing, but few do anything to fuel more than what they get naturally. This is a huge disservice they are doing to themselves, because referrals are easy to establish, easy to automate, and VERY profitable.
