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!

Earlier today, we were please to co-host an online webinar with the good folks at Aspen University. I was happy to co-present, with Aspen VP David Lady, an hour-long discussion of the new Pocket MBA program.

The 16 week online program, developed for MSPs and VARs serving the SMB marketplace, will be presented online. The executive-level curriculum was developed specifically for IT professionals. It will teach finance, HR, sales and marketing … everything needed to effectively and efficiently grow business. Without the Harvard tuition!

The Pocket MBA curriculum draws from cutting-edge business leaders; its materials focus on essentials necessary to aggressively build a competitive market advantage.

The academic credits earned in this program are very real; transferable if students continue through the full MBA program at Aspen University. Details here.

The program will issue a certificate in BusinessSpeak, and open doors to a year of access to the PocketMBA Peer Group (a $1,999 value).

Tuition for the SMB Nation Pocket MBA certificate course is $2,495.00*

Special Discount for SMB Tribe Members: enroll before December 31, to receive a discounted price of $1,995.00* (upon verification).
