Do You Know What Your Employees Are Doing Online?
Our 15 Years of Thanks continues. Meet the client who has given us
the most referrals: The Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce!
Here at PC Miracles, we feel the Clarkston Chamber is the ‘gold standard’ that all chambers
should strive to achieve. Executive Director Penny Shanks, along with her professional and
friendly staff, have mastered the art of networking. We have found our Chamber membership
to be an investment that has paid us back many times over. About PC Miracles, Penny says,
"At the Chamber, our data and information
files are our most valuable assets. Having PC Miracles
on our side is our insurance policy to make sure we
never lose data or suffer from an unrecoverable
network crash. Thank you PC Miracles!"
