Comments on: Are Two Executive Brains Better Than One? http://www.mspmentor.net/2008/04/22/are-two-executive-brains-better-than-one/ Managed Services & Cloud Services Blog for VARs & MSPs Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:47:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: StuFinancesTech http://www.mspmentor.net/2008/04/22/are-two-executive-brains-better-than-one/comment-page-1/#comment-7343 StuFinancesTech Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:22:04 +0000 http://www.mspmentor.net/2008/04/22/are-two-executive-brains-better-than-one/#comment-7343 I agree completely with Digital and the article too. Multiple mindsets or just sets of eyes looking at things give us multiple perspectives to consider. I got some excellent ideas on helping to position my hardware refreshing financing program as a potential HAAS solution for MSPs (who are the majority of my tech vendors I'm serving) just from conversations I've had on this site. I've gotten great questions to ask my source for this program too so I can address these questions and better serve these vendors. Everyone has been very open with me here and I really appreciate it and hope to work to make their lives easier with their clients too. I agree completely with Digital and the article too.

But then you can ask: "Guys we wanted to do this, did anyone tried this? How did it work fo you?" Instead of: "Guys, what do you think?...", or "guess what would be the outcom if we do this..."

Thanks for the MSPmentor praise. One important point of distinction between this site and other social networks ... you don't have to "register" to share your opinions on MSPmentor.net. We consciously designed this site so that everyone could have a voice. I like social networks, but I am stretched too thin these days to join more social networks beyond LinkedIn. I certainly see value in true social networks. But for MSPmentor and <a href="http://www.thevarguy.com" rel="nofollow">TheVARguy.com</a>, we wanted to ensure social inclusion for even our casual visitors/readers. Digital Edge: I’m blushing.

Imagin, people even pay with shares to form a board of advisors. Here you can gate all the advises for free. Just post your questions and people who are experts in their fields will share your knowledge. Before I do something, I post a question to the community and I get a lot of openions and suggestions. Some of them priceless. We were using such approch to tune prices, polish marketing, get recomendations for vendors, even suggest our services. We just have to be creative in the ways we use services like mspmentor, linkedin, facebook and other social networks. It is great to have a second CXO, but if you don't, employ your peers!!!!!!!!!

I certainly could not have built Everon to where it is today without Josh Clifford, our Chief Service Officer. He runs the show service-wise every day, which frees me up to do...something useful I'm sure. Seriously, any good company requires a visionary and someone who executes; that rarely comes in one package. Mike Cooch www.everonit.com www.smbitpros.com This is a great point, Joe!
