Friday is sales day - TGIF

For what its worth - I try to do my administrative voodoo on Monday and Tuesday, then visit Microsoft Redmond on Wednesday and finally do sales on both Thursday and Friday. I really enjoy selling on Fridays because Im in a good mood and so are my customers.

This approach is called chunking and is something they teach you a B-school! :)

Have a great weekend....harrybbbbb

PS - We SBSer know the term Small Business Specialist Community be SBSC. But did you know that AT&T has a 50,000 member small business group you can join called the Small Business Survival Committee (SBSC) ?

:)

Another way to communicate

Did you know - I have a bi-weekly newsletter with over 15,000 readers. The issues alternatve between a business and technical edition. For example, later today I'll post up the business edition and in early November, the technical editon.

What does it all mean? This is another avenue to build community, stay in touch and communicate! I would encourage you to subscribe over at www.smbnation.com (select Harry's SMB Advisory letter on the left side)

Thanks!

Still sorting it out...

Hey gang - I don't know about you but I'm still sorting out the loss of Bill Hunt several days later. It really causes one to pause and think about what's important.

Enought said for today.

Remembering Bill Hunt

It was with profound sadness and shock I received word from Bob Hood that his colleague Bill Hunt of Chicago has died. Bill is a long-time attendee at SMB Nation and served the community and his customers well.

Bill will be immensely missed - God speed to you Bill!

HandyAndy's Monthly Chat - this WEDNESDAY

Hey gang - it's my main man Andy at it again:
Andy Goodman will be hosting his monthly SBS Chat on sbsmigration.com this Wednesday at 4:00pm PDT.

From Andy:
There will be lots to talk about this month, some of us were at SMB Nation, some of us have war stories to share about imaging projects we have done recently with ShadowProtect and of course there are a bunch of upcoming events and conferences.

Here is the link to the chat

Better to give then receive

Isn't there more than one way to serve the community....I applaud those who serve with their time but there is also the Seattle way led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Go out, compete hard, make money and then give it all away. :)

This photo shows our donation to NPower which has been named our annual charity for SMB Nation. Look for NPower in future magazine issues....the two gents on the left are from NPower and the gent on the right is from Microsoft's Response Point team...he's the GM!

SBSer Ski Alert - Get Ready

Hey - don't sit around this winter if you're in the northern climates - get out doors! The forecast is for a great ski season (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6600ap_wst_ski_season.html) and reorts are already open in Colorado!

And did you know - SBS MVP Oliver from Germany was the winner of the three-night, four day Crested Butte Ski Vacation at the just completed SMB Nation 2007 event. I'm shoiwn here with Oliver. He is from Germany - which has a long history of ski racing!

Have a great day!

An old print dude goes online

Maybe its the yoga....the lipitor or the exercise....but it's true - the old "print author" now has a blog. And just how did that come about? basically its eat my dog food time (a tip of the hat to my springer spaniels). I want to make time and space to participate in the community daily - what ever that means. You can anticipate the following:

Microsoft Windows Small Business Server (SBS) stuff

BusinessSpeak surrounding technology (how were having terrific results with CRM)

New project and books (did you know my Response Point book will be here soon plus I plan to write a couple more books over the winter)

Small Business Specialist Community (SBSC) updates - I'll call 'em as I see 'em

Thanks everyone - looking forward!
