Obviously, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everybody. But we've all read enough posts and listened to enough podcasts about “how the pandemic has changed everything” or “what the pandemic taught our business.” So we're not going to focus on the pandemic. We are going to talk to two people who have a wealth of experience in leading small and medium sized businesses through change, regardless of the kind. In episode 217 of B2B Tech Talk, we spoke with Bill Blum & Michael Coopersmith. Bill is the President of Alpine Business Systems, and Michael is the Owner of Integrated Technology Systems. We talked all about: -How they are constantly evaluating their business strategies to position themselves for growth -The best (and worst) business advice they ever received -What made them jump in and join the SMB Alliance -Where they see technology going in the next year To join the discussion, follow us on Twitter @IngramTechSol #B2BTechTalkListen to this episode and more like it by subscribing to B2B Tech Talk on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher.
