I was recently invited to participate in our good friend Stuart Crawford's Small Business IT Radio show along with fellow HTG1 member Mitch Miller and MSP University member and client Monique Rogers to discuss the topic of Extreme Office Makeovers.
Mitch and his company DCS Topeka, voted the 2008 Small Business of the Year (congratulations!) by the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, is getting ready to deliver their 3rd Extreme Office Makeover event.
Monique's company ARRC Technology recently completed one and announced the winners - see their announcement here, and my blog on that event here.
Stuart is getting ready to execute his first at IT Matters - see his announcement video here.
The concept is a win-win-win for all parties that participate. For the service provider, it allows them the ability to create a great community-focused service that awards winners and runners-up prize packages varying in value as high or higher than $50,000 in hardware, software and services - and these are donated by the provider, their vendors as well as local community businesses such as landscapers, interior designers, office supply stores and more. During the registration process, the provider meets with and conducts needs analyses of all of the registrants - an incredible lead-generating opportunity that yields a surprising amount of business...
For the IT vendors, the win is in getting some great PR and helping out the community, and the same benefit received by the service provider (leads and PR) applies to the local community businesses and vendors that participate.
