Small IT Companies Thrive in a Bad Economy – with Good Marketing


Sacramento, CA, June 6, 2012 – Technology author Karl Palachuk announced that Barbara Dove – a pioneer of IT Help Desk support – will be a featured speaker at the first major Online Conference for Small Business IT Consultants, Managing for Success 2012 in June, hosted by Small Biz Thoughts. She’ll talk about robust email marketing systems that are helping small IT companies thrive during the recession.

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.

Dove founded Dove Help Desk in 2003 to provide “outsourced” help desk services to IT service providers. She is the President and CEO. Dove Help Desk is now part of Global Mentoring Solutions, Inc.

“Barbara works with hundreds of companies,” said Palachuk. “As a result, she sees many more examples of successful marketing in a year than most of us see in ten.”

“Marketing has always been important,” said Dove. “But after years of tough economic times, there’s no time or money to waste on programs that don’t work.”

Dove has an MBA and ME in Operations Research from Boston University and a BA in Mathematics from Wilson College. She has a black belt in six sigma and is a practiced Total Quality Management professional. With over 15 years’ experience in senior management positions in service operations, Dove has worked in executive and strategic service management positions at various computer and test equipment companies.

Other conference speakers include Len DiCostanzo and Matt Makowicz. 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. Makowicz is a business coach and the author of three books: A Guide to SELLING Managed Services; A Guide to MARKETING Managed Services; and A Guide to BUILDING a SALES TEAM.

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 Autotask Corporation, the world's leading hosted IT business management software to streamline and optimize business processes for technology solution providers.
