Now Available: SOPs Volume 2 in Audio Book Format

The latest audio book from Small Biz Thoughts!

Lots of people tell me they want audio books because they don't have time to read. Or they want to review the information in another format. (Note: Volume One was released last month.)

Well, this year we're committed to making many of our books available in audio format. The latest is the audio version of:

Managed Services Operations Manual: Standard Operating Procedures for Computer Consultants and Managed Service Providers
