Kevin, I am only child and a bit intraverted but getting over it as I
get older. I don't mind talking to most people when they come to the
shop. I hate service calls so I don't do them.

We should do a poll and find out if this is true for most technicians on
this list. Just a thought. I do enjoy going on service calls and meeting
different people, but I don't like when they hang over my shoulder and
don't say much when I try to strike up a conversation.

Of course we are anti-social and introverted! Why do you think we are in
this business? Its because we are more interested in things than in
people.

Yes Roy,
I can proudly say (for what it's worth) that any acquisition of new ASC
brands were due to nothing more than my own skills and tenacity.
NESDA did nothing for me in that regard, although I did get to talk
to
the "heavy hitters" while they were in party mode...not much hard
core
business
happened there.
I found NESDA to be too clannish ( on several levels). I was more
interested
in industry politics than tech training-which made some people
uncomfortable.
Apparently you fit in just fine. I am an an "only child" which
makes me
anti-social by definition...oh well,
we all have our little crosses to bear... ;-)

Correct me if I'm wrong, Jim.
I'll bet you already had ASC status on them 20 brands you now
service,
long
before you ever became a member of Nesda. I know from your posts
that
you
were once a member, just like I was.
I quit because of financial problems, NOT because I thought it was a
useless
organization.
Although I TOO disagreed with many of the projects they were
pushing,.....I
am still convinced that by being an active member of Nesda, the
manufacturers will be more likely to look at your profile as someone
who
they might want in their corner of the ring. In otherwords it is easier
for those service centers, who want to continue,
and see a future in this business, to become an ASC for a major
manufacturer, by first becoiming a member of Nesda. Association, and
contacts at conventions, etc., makes it easier. I plan on re-joining
them
again before their next convention this summer. I MISS being a part
of
that
organization.
I don't promise I'll make it to Orlando this
summer,....but,....maybe
Vegas,
Nashville, or Reno, in 2006.

Then again Al,
You can become an ASC and get your training for free! Other benefits
include ( but not limited to:) customer referrals, mfr bulletins, tips,
fixes, and expedited parts delivery.
Collectively here on Techassist we can pool our information to 'fill in
the holes" for products that we may not be authorized
for.
I think we've got the whole gamut covered already.

Phil,
For $1500 you can come to NPSC in Orlando this Summer,have cash
left
over, and learn more useful stuff.Unless you are gonna fix a LOT
of
LCD
for
big bucks,you don't need expensive equipment or training.When offf
warranty
we won't be able to fix that stuff profitably anyway,due to parts
cost
and
service lit.!If the owner's didn't buy insurance,they won't pay.
mark
my
words folks.Do it for the manufacturers(get free training), and
the
insurance companies.
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0The Sencore salesman was my good buddy until I stopped
buying,actually

=A0=A0=A0=A0Join NESDA,folks,take the training,and hope for the best.

I thought I would forward this to the group. Jerry from Sencore called
me this morning with the details of
this
email
=3D
I recieved yesterday. This LCD monitor course is essentially to
familiarize techs with repair of the LCD PC monitors.How to tell
if,or=3D20
whick backlight is bad,invertor troubleshooting,locating the
parts=3D20
sources,etc. The 3 day course"introductory price is $1500.00. Regular
price will be $2500.00.
I asked if there will be a course on CD with workbook like the
monitor=3D20
repair course I bought years ago. Said no. And only in the
mentioned=3D20
locations.
He said this is also helpful in component level repairs of the
LCD
big=3D20
screen TVs. I said those are board replacement, and if you know
what=3D20
parts are bad on those (multi layer) boards, the mfgr doesn't support=3D20=
that anyway. Jerry disagreed.
That kind of ended the call. I didn't mean to be blunt, but I
said
i=3D20
thought it was a heap of cash for a generac course to fix PC LCDs
that=3D20
are dropping in price fast. That outlay of money for travel,
lodging
and
=3D
the course would never be recouped. He disagreed,said they are
getting=3D20
loads of calls.
Maybe I am all wrong.
Jerry is a very nice, helpful salesman. I just can't justify the
money.=3D20
Nor do I have it to "invest" in this.
