Channel Partners Conference & Expo 2025 | Las Vegas "Be the trusted business advisor." That's the message from Ryan Henley, Chief Revenue Officer at NUSO, who joined Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green live on the opening day of the Channel Partners 2025 expo. For years, Henley noted, MSPs have been encouraged to be “trusted technology advisors.” But at this year's show, NUSO is pushing for a shift—one that positions channel partners not just as tech experts, but as core strategic partners who help customers grow and protect their businesses. “It's not about selling software—it's about elevating the business,” said Henley. “Whether it's customer experience or compliance, we can help our partners deliver real business outcomes.” Helping MSPs Go Beyond the Stack NUSO offers a fully integrated service platform that includes: Omnichannel contact center solutions for both enterprise and informal CX environments Compliance tools to support HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR requirements A UCaaS foundation powered by NUSO's own telephony network What sets NUSO apart is ownership. All platform elements are built and operated in-house, offering MSPs a single partner with end-to-end accountability. “You've got one throat to choke, or one back to pat,” Henley quipped. “It simplifies support and strengthens the value MSPs can offer.” A Channel-Only Strategy As a 100% channel-focused company, NUSO is using its presence at Channel Partners to reinforce its commitment to resellers and service providers across North America and beyond. “We're here to help partners break out of the technology-only mindset,” said Henley. “By enabling them to deliver customer experience, compliance, and communications—under one roof—we're helping them transform into true business advisors.” Henley sees this evolution as essential in a changing market. “When you focus on the success of others, everyone wins,” he said.

On this week's episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE, host Chris Galeski and Scott Gilmore, CEO of Ascend Tax and Business Advisors, discuss upcoming tax law changes and how to maximize your tax benefits in 2025.Here are some key takeaways from their conversation:Due to the January fires in LA, tax filing and payment deadlines have been extended to October 15th for individuals and businesses residing in Los Angeles County. A Net Operating Loss (NOL) occurs when a taxpayer's deductible losses exceed their taxable income in a given year. For those affected by the LA fires, net operating losses can be especially valuable. If someone suffered a significant loss—such as property damage that wasn't fully covered by insurance—their casualty loss deduction could create an NOL. Since the fire occurred in January 2025, impacted taxpayers can choose to apply their losses to their 2024 tax return rather than waiting until 2025, which could allow them to reduce their 2024 taxable income and qualify for tax refunds.The estate tax exemption is expected to be reduced from around $14 million to $7 million in 2026, prompting some individuals to accelerate their gifting strategies.Taxpayers can use “bunching” (grouping donations into one year) or donor-advised funds to maximize deductions.The $10,000 SALT (State & Local Tax) cap may be removed if tax laws expire, but business owners currently benefit from workarounds like AB 150.401k and other retirement contribution limits have increased for 2025, with a special catch-up contribution for those aged 60-63 allowing them to save more pre-tax.Given ongoing tax law shifts, individuals should engage with advisors to optimize tax strategies and ensure compliance.If you or someone you know has been affected by the fires, Ascend Tax and Business Advisors is happy to take calls from non-clients and answer questions about available tax benefits.

Diane Helbig is a Business Advisor at Helbig Enterprises, which partners with businesses to create personalized growth strategies. As a growth accelerator, she provides workshops and presentations on sales, social media, leadership, and business planning for entrepreneurs and salespeople. Diane is the author of Lemonade Stand Selling, which offers a guide to the sales process. She also hosts the Accelerate Your Business Growth podcast. In this episode: When networking, sales professionals talk too much about their product or service, trying to gain potential clients rather than build relationships. Consequently, they rarely close the sale since the customer becomes disinterested. How can you refine the sales process to focus on prospects' needs? Sales expert Diane Helbig maintains that sales leaders should attend networking events to observe prospects' behaviors and determine how to build meaningful relationships with them. Rather than approaching prospects with your solution, invest time learning about them and their situations and nurture this relationship throughout the discovery process to build trust. When closing the sale, integrate value into each investment, ensuring the prospect can benefit from your product or service. A step-by-step process allows you to turn prospects into clients. In the latest episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit speaks with Diane Helbig, the Business Advisor at Helbig Enterprises, about improving the sales process. Diane shares best practices for building relationships with prospects, why she believes in system and process documentation, and how she helped transform a client's business.

Shanel Evans doesn't just share her story — she lays bare the unspoken class dynamics and systemic barriers she faced climbing the corporate ladder. From her days as a finance director to building a six-figure business on her own terms, Shanel's journey is a powerful example of what happens when women challenge the norms of traditional workplaces. Her raw, honest take on navigating the intersections of gender, race, and leadership in male-dominated industries offers both a reality check and a call for change.Through Shanel's lens, we see how a startup environment became her proving ground, allowing her to lead with innovation, drive diversity initiatives, and build a nonprofit that thrived on strategies most people overlook. But the boldest move? Leaving a "safe" finance career to embrace her passion for marketing and entrepreneurship — right in the middle of a global pandemic. Shanel's leap wasn't just about changing careers; it was about claiming her time, energy, and purpose on her own terms. Her story reminds us that while entrepreneurship is far from easy, it can be the most liberating decision you'll ever make.In a business world addicted to hustle culture, Shanel is the antidote we didn't know we needed. Her anti-hustle philosophy flips the script on working harder by showing us how to work smarter. She calls out the toxic cycle of overworking, offering value-driven strategies that honor both your goals and your well-being. And when it comes to the pedestal mentality — whether you're the one putting people on it or stuck on one yourself — Shanel challenges us to dismantle those assumptions and open doors we didn't think were possible. This conversation is a bold reminder that women entrepreneurs aren't just changing their lives — they're reshaping the future of business itself.Guest Bio: Shanel Evans, founder of Socially Savvy and co-founder of FyreSavvy, is a seasoned Business Advisor and Marketing Consultant.

What are some key criteria you consider when determining the right role to hire at a specific stage of your business? What strategies can be employed to uncover the root problems rather than just treating symptoms? In this engaging episode I chat with Gwen Bortner, the founder of Everyday Effectiveness. She is a no-nonsense Operational Strategist and Business Advisor with an intuitive coaching mindset. She helps visionary female entrepreneurs achieve their most ambitious goals without the stress and overwhelm of trying to do it all on their own.  Gwen shares valuable tips on hiring strategically, emphasizing the importance of finding team members who complement rather than mirror the business owner. Her approach comes from the belief that personal and professional success looks different for everyone, and most business owners waste time and energy trying to conform to outside expectations and definitions of success.  Throughout our conversation, we explain the challenges of scaling a business effectively highlighting common pitfalls like mistaking operational issues for marketing problems and the importance of a holistic, strategic approach to business operations. We advocate for investing in strategically minded operational leaders who can address deep-rooted issues, ensuring the business model is designed for long-term success rather than quick, reactionary fixes!   In this episode we explore: Trial and Error in Hiring Benefits of Working with Specialists Challenges that Hinder Business Success.
