Best Business Strategies Reviews

Evanston Retail Store 2026.09.11

     

Our 15 year old computer running a 14 year old version of Sage 50 died, creating a huge amount of anxiety here. We had a recent backup, but no way to access it. We contacted Shirley, who assured me that she could migrate my ancient files to the most current version, and get me a 50% (sale) discount on that new software. I just imported the files she migrated, and everything looks great. From Panic to up and running only took a day (once I found Best Business Strategies). Aaron Vogue Fabrics

Updated my computer and was worried that I needed to upgrade my software I purchased from Best Business Strategies years ago. I reached out and Shirley walked me though bringing the software over from my old computer, saving me time and money.

Shirley helped me with a transition from Sage Quantum to Sage Premium and a move to Sage's cloud system. Her technical acumen was exceptional and well worth her very reasonable fees.

I'm not even a customer and Allen went out of his way to help me! They saved us thousands of dollars as a company, as opposed to just making the sale, he actually heard what I was asking for and gave me a better money saving option. Thank you!

Shirley is an amazing person. She went out of her way to help me. I can't imagine anything else she should have done. She has helped me so often over the years, and is always kind and gracious. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Sage. I don't know what I would do without her

Best Business Strategies are simply the Best! Been using ACT Crm since the 80's when this program was in MSDOS floppy. Wish had BBS back then for ACT has issues time to time, and BBS has resolved this issues when ACT seemed to drop the ball on my business! It is like having relatives helping your business, and highly recommend using BBS. Keep in mind, as an older guy in my late 60's very picky with who I do business with! So, saying that you should use BBS as stated before.. They are the "Best! AESM RP Marketing"

As they say, everyone has a story and mine was a nightmare until I found Best Business Strategies. I started with Sage when it was transitioning from Peachtree. I bought Sage 50 Premium Accounting 2016 in 2015. As you can imagine, trying to continue to use my non-subscription accounting program was becoming ever more difficult. I woke up one morning and activation was terminated...I went into panic mode! At first it was doubtful I could even convert my data to the new Sage 50 Accounting 2024. I talked to Sage Sales directly and they scared me to death with...got to do this, got to do that, got to fill out this. I was aware of Sage third party partners, so I contacted Best Business Strategies for assistance, and enters Shirley Byard.The rest of the story became history in short order. Aside from a little confusion on my part, Shirley guided me through the process with very competitive pricing, conversion of my 2016 files to 2024 data, returning the conversion file the same day, and literally installed it for me via remote session...that's quality service, folks. On top of that she corrected a Sage bug that had converted to the new program...a bug I had been trying to find for over two years. She pressed a few buttons and poof, the problem disappeared. Needless to say, choosing to do business with Best Business Strategies was a very smart decision. It would be well worth your time to consider BBS as your Sage provider.

This place is the cheapest, quickest place to order business checks. The employees are professional, know their product, and beyond friendly. I wouldn't order from anywhere else in the valley.
