Summit 2026 Recap
Anya was happy to see so many of you in Nashville. Despite being in the expo every single second it was open, she still couldn’t make it to every member booth this year. Next year she may need to bring a helper!
Watch Anya’s recap video here and see who you recognize: https://youtu.be/L7OSeQOIV0I
Alex Orlando of Andrea Foods won our free VIP pass, and Summit 2026 was his very first one. He said he met ISVs he had never heard of before and made good use of the Whova app. Watch the interview.
Last Call for Dynamics Partner Stars Applications
Applications close October 31, and we would love to see every VAR member apply. Dynamics Partner Stars recognizes Dynamics VAR/SI partners for customer success, expertise, innovation, and community work, NOT revenue. Winners get a 2026 badge that looks great to customers. It’s free, takes a few minutes, and you can nominate yourself or a VAR partner you admire.
Two New AI Tools Announced for Members
Attend a webinar on November 11 to see two new “Intelligent Writing Tools” Jeff and Claude have built to help our members create and optimize content. The “Topic Generator” looks at your website and our most popular posts to suggest personalized topics. The “AEO/SEO Analyzer” reviews your post based on 25+ criteria to tell you what to improve. Jeff will show these on a training call and only members who attend the call will have the tools turned on (at no cost) during the beta period.
Add a Regional Listing to Get More Exposure (and Leads)
For the first time since 2009, we are opening up new states on the ERP Software Blog regional directory, including Ohio and Indiana. A regional listing puts you in the state directory, alerts you when local companies visit the blog, and sends you Quick Quote leads from your area. Want to claim one (for a small fee)? Reply and let us know.
Marketing Tips From Our Member Blog
If Case Studies Are Too Hard, Try Writing Customer Use Cases Instead
Still waiting on customer approval for that case study? A use case tells a real customer’s story (industry, size, systems, and the problem you solved) without naming the company. That means you can publish more often and focus on one issue at a time.
Check Your Old Online Business Listings to Get Better AI Citation Results
Those forgotten profiles on Google, Bing, Apple, Microsoft, and Clutch still help search engines and AI tools figure out who you are and what you do. A quick audit of your top listings could improve how often AI mentions your company.
How to Make It Super Easy for Your Team to Be Active on LinkedIn
Want your sales team showing up on LinkedIn without the nagging? Here’s a simple system where marketing picks the prospects and the posts, and sales just clicks and engages.
