Top 5 Reasons to Attend SMB VoIP
September 20-22, Washington DC 2010

5. The humidity will be gone from Washington DC. Admittedly – the recent Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) in Washington DC (mid-July) was a bit overheated and humid. That all changes in the fall – it’ll be a glorious few days at the Gaylord!

4. Co-location is LEVERAGE! We are delighted to team with Channel Partners, a well-established telecom show. We believe that we’re better together. The typically Channel Partner’s attendee is a “sales agent” who is very good at promoting and selling telecom plans and cloud services. That allows our SMB Nation tribal members to actually “do the work” if you team up. It’s hand-and-glove folks!

3. SMB Subject Matter Experts! We’re bringing in the best in the business again. You’ll just have to click through to see who!

2. Be there at the Start – SMB VoIP community. Leading the parade and being ahead of the curve is a time-tested formula for business success. This is your chance to “own” the entire customer relationship that combines voice+data. This time the convergence is for real.

1. You Must! Home alarm system time folks – if you don’t VoIP your customers as a computer guy, someone else will. That is, the telephone grrl will come in and steal your client. Trust us – she’s already calling on your accounts!

Connect The Dots Industry Education Site Launches Officially

Take a peak at http://www.qwestconnectthedots.com/, a just-launched small business resource center presented by Denver, CO-based Qwest Communications.

The site, live today, contains a wealth of resources for small businesses. You will see catalog definitions of products and/or services on the site, of course, but the resource center will also include "how to" information of tech use in business.

Case studies, white papers, check-lists are some of the informational elements now featured on its pages.

Designed for use by MSPs, VARs and even the small businesses they serve, the evolving site will expand before your eyes, showcasing business-development tricks and tips.

We recently spoke to Michael Call, director of small business marketing at Qwest, about the site and its impending launch.

He and Stephanie Copeland, VP and General Manager of small business, also at Qwest, are both very invested in sharing knowledge that will help SMB Nation and its customers gain market share and profitability.

Call told SMB Nation “there is an overwhelming amount of technology decisions to be made by small businesses. This new website is intended to organize and help simplify technology in a way that makes technology more consumable by small businesses.

“As business owners learn more, they reach further. This site will help them gain expertise and take advantage of technology.

The knowledge base includes a wide variety of tech-related subjects, and ... Yay!... case studies!

See you there!
