Sacramento, CA, May 2, 2012 – Technology author Karl Palachuk announced that sales management superstar Ken Thoreson will be a keynote speaker at the first major Online Conference for Small Business IT Consultants, Managing for Success 2012 in June. His topic is how sales leaders will outperform sales managers in the evolving economy.
Managing for Success 2012 will be held “online” June 26-28, 2012 and features eighteen hours of training for IT professionals, computer consultants, and managed service providers who focus on the Small and Medium Business market.
Thoreson was recently named as one of the Top 50 Sales and Marketing Influencers of the Year for 2012 by Top Sales World. See http://www.topsalesworld.com/topInfluencers.php for more information.
“We are extremely pleased to bring Ken to this conference. He has been a leader in developing sales and sales management programs for technology professionals for fifteen years,” said Palachuk. “He is internationally recognized as one of the great sales management consultants, so this is a real treat for us!”
“Today is a great time to be doing sales in the IT industry,” says Thoreson. “But the economy is always a little different after a recession than it was before the recession. Leadership will be a critical factor in sales management going forward.”
Thoreson is the president of Acumen Management Group. He is recognized as a sales leadership professional who "operationalizes" sales management systems and processes to pull sales results out of the doldrums into the fresh zone of predictable revenue. He developed and works closely with Cisco Systems on their SMB Partner Practice Builder program.
Thoreson is currently a columnist for Redmond Channel Partner Magazine, a publication for Microsoft channel partners. His blog has been rated in the top 10 sales blogs in the United States and ranked a top sales industry social media user by Top View. He is a member of the National Speakers Association.
Other conference speakers include Josh Peterson and Len DiCostanzo. Peterson is a business coach for IT consultants and is the COO of FusionTek, a Managed Services Provider based in Seattle, WA. FusionTek is committed to proving that a professional sales team can make all the difference in our industry. DiCostanzo is the Senior Vice President of Community and Business Development at Autotask. He is responsible for ensuring the continued success of Autotask’s global client base and identifying, building, and nurturing their strategic industry alliances around the world.
“The speakers at this conference are all top-notch,” said Palachuk. “No IT conference in history has had this many professional, top-tier speakers. The online format makes it much easier to get a number of world class speakers at a single conference.”
The conference is “virtual” (online only) and will run 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day on June 26-28, 2012. Attendees can choose to listen live or also have access to the recorded sessions. In all, the conference will broadcast eighteen hours of programming in three days. Primary sponsors of the SMB Online Conference include ConnectWise and LabTech Software.
