Dude, we're getting Dell! That's right, Dell Expert Network, the tech giant's business unit dedicated to serving MSPs and the SMB community, will be on hand at Channel Partners Evolution. They're setting up shop in the expo hall, meeting with prospective partners and sponsoring the Robin Robins sales and marketing preconference workshop. But we got them first on Coffee with Craig and Kevin to discuss the need for something like Dell Expert Network in the market and more about what they have planned for next week's show in Washington, D.C. TBI's Bryan Reynolds also joins for his third in a series of appearances to tell us what he's doing to get "pumped up" for moderating the "Thunderdomes" at Channel Partners Evolution and what the master agent is doing to help partners sell SD-WAN. Noticing a theme here? It's the Evolution pre-show edition! We'll cover the can't-miss highlights of the event and get you stoked for what will be four days of top-notch education and networking.

The heat of summer is here, so Craig and Kevin are bringing you a red-hot version of the Channel Partners podcast! The guys are excited to welcome to the show Robin Robins, the well-known IT marketing and sales consultant, who is getting ready for her four-hour preconference workshop at the upcoming Channel Partners Evolution, the channel's biggest fall event. Robin explains why you should attend the event and drops a number of important sales and marketing tips that you can apply to your business before you even get to Washington, D.C. "I think this is what gets many small business owners in trouble. They don't really understand marketing, so they think it's branding, a beautiful logo and a dynamic website. It's really none of those things. I'm a salesperson. A salesperson thinks differently about marketing. ... People are going to buy from us because we provide real value, we can solve a problem for them and we are positioned properly." Speaking of Evolution, to be held Sept. 9-12, we'll explore some of the great networking opportunities on tap for the show. You'll also hear about a new partnership Channel Partners and Channel Futures have with Auvik, the RMM provider, which gives you the chance to take home some really "cool" prizes during the heat of summer.

We'll announce a date for the big "reveal." The podcast wraps with another great "Random Personal Question." But instead of putting our guest on the spot, Craig is forced to face the whammy.

In this SMB Community Podcast, we talk to James Kernan of Kernan Consulting about selling managed services. James is a sales coach and the author of the 36 Month Millionaire program. I got an email a few weeks ago from someone looking to hire a sales person. I answered that email – but immediately thought about James. What advice would James give to a sole proprietor who is looking to hire a sale person? So I scheduled a call with James and asked him what advice he has. In case you haven’t heard of James, trust me: He knows what he’s talking about. He has built a few businesses. In fact, he bought one business that was selling about $300,000 per year and grew it to $12,000,000 in thirty-six months. Hence the 36 Month Millionaire program that he developed for Robin Robins. This is a very educational interview. James gives a ton of great advice. And, as you’ll see, he has great business advice in addition to sales advice.   Stuff Mentioned: Web Site: www.KernanConsulting.com Phone: 888-Var-Coach   Check out the interview here: Watch the video podcast: This interview is 30 minutes.
