January 2012 Recommendations

  • Artikel

Each month, your first-Friday delivery of the U.S. partner newsletter, emailed to you as a benefit of your Microsoft Partner Network membership, contains a list of our recommendations for U.S. SMB partners located in the East Region. We also use this list to update our East Region page on the U.S. partner portal.

These recommendations were in the U.S. partner newsletter delivered Friday, January 6. This week’s role-based training recommendations are for Windows Small Business Server 2011 and Windows Azure.

Happy New Year! If one of your resolutions for 2012 is to grow your business, we have some recommendations for resources from Microsoft that can help.

  • Join our January East Region Partner Call on Friday, January 13, at 9:00AM Eastern Time to learn how to get ready for new business deals and opportunities.
  • If you have attained a silver or gold competency, your benefits include Technical Presales Assistance, a service that can help you close more deals, faster. For deals over $3K, competency partner access to this service is free, and you can use Partner Advisory Hours for deals under $3K.
  • Connect with local business organizations like Chambers of Commerce and local trade and industry associations to deliver events focused on helping their members make informed technology decisions.
