The majority of US-based businesses are small or medium-sized. In addition to the size of the SMB market, both the economy and incentives from the federal government to encourage individuals to create business has positioned the SMB market as perhaps the most important sector of growth we’ve seen in more than a decade.
Large enterprises know this and are keen to reach entrepreneurs and executive at SMBs to help them grow, using their products and services as they scale into larger businesses.
This gave myself and Karen O’Brien, a partner a Crimson Consulting, the idea to being together a panel to educate those at South by Southwest (SXSW) and Enterprise 2.0 conferences to talk about how large enterprises can reach the SMB market and the promise it holds for them in doing so, as well as educating SMBs about what incentives these companies are providing to engage with the SMB customer. At SXSW, the panel will include representatives from Microsoft, Cisco and Yelp.
But these panels will not happen unless you vote to bring them to life… and the competition is fierce. That’s where your help comes in…
Please take a moment to vote for the panel on the SXSW panelpicker and leave a comment on what you think the promise the panel holds, what you would like to get out of it if you were to attend the session or anything else you think is important for us to know.
The panelists could be different, but the message very similar at Enterprise 2.0 – you can cast your vote here. Again, would love to hear your comments!
Interested in having me speak at your event?
