Are you embracing the managed IT services opportunities within
your customer base — or are you leaving money on the table while
risking having your customers stolen by the competition? Managed
IT services cannot only provide a new revenue opportunity, but
can also help to diversify your services offering and protect
your base. Many of your fellow dealers are moving in this
direction or have plans to do so. A December 2014 survey of
dealers by InfoTrends, the market research firm, revealed that
73 percent of the office technology dealers responding to the
survey who did not offer managed IT services at the time had
plans to do so. Plus, among the dealer respondents offering
managed IT services at the time, 94 percent projected that their
involvement in managed IT services would increase over the next
five years. Are you on track with your managed IT services
strategy? With a focus on managed IT services, the Spring Break
event, hosted by BTA Southeast, will help you better prepare
your dealership to claim a greater share of this burgeoning
opportunity.
BTA Southeast
will host the first of its two 2016 district events, open to
dealers from across the country, on March 18&19, 2016, at
InterContinental Hotel in New Orleans, LA. This
event will be a great setting to learn from industry leaders,
gather new ideas and network with your peers.
The event will feature a keynote session by Steven Shepard of
Shepard Communications Group, a panel discussion focused on
managed services, and seven additional educational sessions
presented by industry experts. In addition, there will be time
to visit with 40-plus exhibiting sponsors, many of which will
hold drawings for great prizes during the event. Dealer
attendees can also enter on-site for a chance to win one of five
$100 American Express gift cards and be entered into the BTA
District Event Sweepstakes.
The event will wrap up with a tour of the National
World War II Museum and
dinner at the museum's restaurant. |
