What’s your trunk button?

Some people think all Noobie does is help people purchase technology products. While it is true that Noobie provides this kind of assistance (I once was asked to go to store with a client to purchase a cell phone), it would be a gross understatement to say that this is the only thing Noobie does. In fact, Noobie helps people in many other ways.

For example, Noobie also helps people learn how to better use the technology gadgets they already own. I can't tell you the number of clients I have worked with that own a digital camera, know how to take a picture but then have absolutely no idea what to do with the pictures they just took. Or clients that have a $2,000 computer that they use to type letters to friends. I hope people reading this realize why that last example is so wrong.

I didn't even know I had that

Just the other day, my father told me about a button on the trunk in his car that automatically closes the rear trunk door. He went on to tell me that he has owned his car for over six months and, until just recently, didn't even know the button existed. Even worse, had it not been for my sister getting the same model car and showing my father the button, he may have never found the button, or worse yet, even known he had an automatic trunk closing feature on his car.

I don't expect that my clients know how to use every single feature on every one of their technology products. That's just ridiculous. Heck, I still haven't even used the MP3 player on my cell phone once and I've had the phone for over two years. But I do believe that Noobie can help people realize the value and the potential of the technology products that they do own and that they were sold on when they first bought them.

So take a look at the technology products you own. Are you using them to the full potential you thought you would when you bought them? What's your trunk button?
