Mark Bowles of Network Computing Group in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia was impressed with Verne Harnish’s speech at the ConnectWise Partner Summit and is looking forward to putting some of the things gleaned from the speech to work for his company.

Calling customers personally to see how they can be better served, and implementing more ‘small huddles’ with team members will improve consistency and quality of the services Network Computing Group provides.

Alex Rogers, President, CEO of Chartec on Keynote Speeches at ConnectWise Partner Summit

2009-11-06T15:54:38-08:00

Alex Rogers, President, CEO of Chartec of Bakersfield CA is fired up after listening to Keynote Speeches from Arnie Bellini co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ConnectWise and Chris Anderson of Wired at the ConnectWise Partner Summit.

Alex was impressed with the idea of stepping back and considering what simple value-adds you can provide your customer for free that either drive them to other products and services, and/or bolster their loyalty to your firm.

Creating and communicating the value of little things that customers may or may not realize are important that your firm can provide to customers at no cost and little or no cost to your company is paramount in both professional/technical market differentiation and customer loyalty and perceived value.
