Microsoft Small Business Summit Webcast

Wow, this was actually pretty good. I stumbled accross this a few weeks ago and thought I'd check it out. I was impressed with some of the speakers who spoke on subjects that were relevant to me but could also be helpful to many other small businesses.

Some of the subjects covered are

1. Sales and Marketing
2. Productivity & Security
3. Microsoft Office How-To's

and more. Each subject has 1-2 dozen videos you can watch. One of my favorites was John from Duct Tape Marketing.

Yes, the videos are from Microsoft so some of the buz was around their products but overall they had great information for the small business owners.
