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!

Who is Tom Cross?

Hang on for one of those stories. When I was a kid growing up in Alaska, I literally walked over a mile to school , Stellar Secondary in Anchorage. Much of my walk was on the vaunted Nordic ski trails that have produced over half the US team in at the Vancouver Olympics later this month. There was this tunnel with graffiti on that walls with the saying “Who Is john Galt?” I wondered for years until Wikipedia answered my question (he is a fictional character in a Any Rand novel).
So as I have moved the SMB Nation tribe into the world of voice and telecom, I kept running into the name Thomas Cross. A long-time telecom author, he is perhaps best known for his popular TECHtionary site (http://www.techtionary.com) and his “Cross Talk” blog (http://blog.tmcnet.com/cross-talk/) hosted at TMCnet.com.
But I really want to give a shout out to Tom for his first-ever OCS Expo in June 2010 in Boulder, Colorado (http://blog.tmcnet.com/cross-talk/2009/09/ocs-forum-expo-2010-announced-june-15-16---boulder---colorado.html). I’ll be there! How about you?!!?
