Whether You’re a Small Business Server, VOIP or Other Technology Solution Provider in the SMB IT Space, Becoming a Trusted Business Advisor is the Goal.
In no uncertain terms, technology education for the survival and advancement in your SMB IT business is a must. But as a technology business owner, this also means continuing education in how you personally run your business. Forever looking for ways to improve the operation of you business will allow you to turn around and utilize that knowledge to become a trusted business advisor to your small and medium business clients.
Just like any other part of your business, having a continuing education strategy is a must. What books will you read? What webinar and teleseminars will you join in on? What business and technology events will you attend? Who will you tap to coach and advise you to the next level?
This continuing education process for your business is not a luxury. It truly is a necessity, especially in the competitive small and medium business environment. In this venue everyone is looking to partner up with a true business that brings integrity and value to the table.
They want a trusted business advisor that understands what it means to operate a small and medium business, not just someone to handle small business server issues and show up when their technology infrastructure has a problem. There’s a huge difference and the SMB IT companies that are keeping clients and adding new ones in this economy get it. How about you?
So since we are talking about my favorite subject of continuing education as a technology business owner, let me give you the low down on a hot upcoming business and technology event for the SMB IT business owner.
Coming up on May 1-3, 2009, SMB Nation will be holding its annual SMB Nation Spring 2009 event. This is the East Coast version of their business and technology continuing education, which is being held at Montclair State University in my neck of the woods otherwise known as Northern NJ. It’s a terrific continuing education setting on a really great university campus. You can’t help but feel the learning going on around this entire event.
And the best part? Not only does this show give you some great options to learn more about the latest in technology for the small and medium business world such as small business server issues, VOIP, cloud computing, virtualization and more, it also has an amazing line-up for everything you can think of and never thought about for sharpening you business operations.
That means lots of continuing education on the tech side (geek speak) and the business side (business speak) by thought leaders in the SMB world you know and will want to know better by the time you leave. And I can guarantee you will walk out of this 3 day event with a whole new outlook to your business, the small and medium business space, and our economy.
There is no better bang for your buck business and technology event focusing on making you a trusted business advisor to your small and medium business clients in the NYC and NJ areas this year. Attend SMB Nation Spring in early May 2009 by registering at SMB Nationand see for yourself.
Did I mention that I will also be speaking there (see this link for more events as well)? As a matter of fact I personally know that the business education is one great line up since I’m the Business Speak Chair with the main session for day 1 and I have another session on day 2 about building value in your business.
Another great speaker that I know will come out guns blazing with great information is the event company's president, Harry Brelsford, who will be combining tech speak with business speak by doing a talk on "geekonomics". Should be a terrific and insightful session.
I promise that SMB Nation, as always, will provide an excellent venue for your continuing education strategy that will pay you back 10 fold just by walking in the door to network and listen to top notch minds in the SMB space.
See you there!
To Your Business Success-
