Ask the Experts are SBSC Partners

Remember a post a month or so ago where we asked if you wanted to be one our "experts" for the "Ask the Expert" section on Microsoft's customer facing small business website? Well, a couple of SBSC partners took us up on the offer and I am delighted to say that they have now become official contributors to our "Ask the Experts" section.

The Ask the Expert landing page is available to view here

The first article is from Guy Gregory or Peak Support Services. Guy answered a customer's question around "How can I share files with colleagues without spending too much money?" The full article can be viewed here. As you will see, in both Guy and Brian's articles, the SBSC blue badge is clearly visible next to their names and the introduction highlights they are Small Business Specialists.

The second article is from Brian Reid of C7 Solutions. Brian's question was "Is Cloud Computing relevant to my small business?" and it can be viewed here. What I particularly like about this article is that Brian advises customers to contact a small business specialist partner:

"Next step: If this is a new approach to accessing software appeals to you, I suggest you contact your nearest Microsoft Small Business Partner who will be able to tailor a solution to support your needs. Good luck! --Brian"

Alongside this, next to each of their articles, you can clearly see the link to find out what an Small Business Specialist is. I think you will agree that overall there is some great promotion of the SBSC "blue badge" and partner channel:

Not only are both these articles live on the website now, but will going into the next Microsoft small business customer newsletter and will be featured in a post on the small business customer blog.

I’d like to thank both Guy and Brian for the time and effort they put into producing these articles. It's very much appreciated and really helps raise the profile of the Small Business Specialist community (as well as for their own companies too!).
