Do you work for Apple, I see you sporting that "Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist" sig.
Anybody can get that certification by paying their money and taking Apple's test, most of whom work for IT consulting companies or repair shops or the like. I've been meaning to get some of those certs, but I found my lack of them hasn't hindered my ability to attract clients. It's not like Apple's certs have the mindshare of a MCSE or A+ or whatever.
What ends up being really helpful if you're buying any quantity of Macs on a regular basis is to get an Apple enterprise sales rep. I've had three different reps over the past five years, but they all do a great job going to bat with the other departments within Apple if something ain't working right for you.
