In the Wake of the Week: Building Channel Momentum

Friday, December 2, 2011 at 10:59am by Lang Tibbils

In this week’s blog we continue our channel recognition momentum, showcase an outstanding new SMB tool, talk about the short quarter, and provide resources to learn more about McAfee’s acquisition of Nitro Security, a new certification service, where to find free-trials of McAfee SaaS, get access to Partner Summit keynotes, and highlights from our Q3 threat report and a blog on SMB security.

All aboard – the McAfee channels momentum train is leaving the station. Two weeks ago CRN recognized McAfee as one of the Top 25 “Best Companies to Partner With,” and now this week Alex Thurber made the CRN Top 10 Channel Strategist for 2011 list.

Finding the right products that best address your SMB customers’ business can be a time consuming task that ultimately impacts your bottom line. We are here to help, checkout the McAfee SMB Advisor tool.

In case you missed it, the holiday season is upon us which means fewer selling days this quarter, but it also means customers are looking to use their annual budget before they lose it. Check out Alex Thurber’s blog on some sales resources available to you to help make sure we have a successful close to 2011.

Looking to learn more about McAfee’s most recent acquisition of NitroSecurity? Then register here for a webcast on Dec. 7, at 9:00AM (PST).

Have a customer looking to complete their PCI DSS certification, for credit card transactions? Make sure to make them aware of McAfee’s new PCI Certification Service and 90-day free trial.

Have a customer considering SaaS? McAfee’s 30-day free trials is a great way to get them hooked.

Looking for Partner Summit keynote presentations? Here you go.

The McAfee Labs Q3 Threat report is out, providing you with a comprehensive view of the threat landscape.

Here are some insightful recommendations for how small businesses can protect themselves from cyber attacks. These could help open the door to your next SMB opportunity.

The Tweet of the week comes from BrianContos: “Knowing #mobilemalware exists protects you and your data. Use 5 easy tips from #McAfee for safe #mobile usage mcaf.ee/04uo7”
