Don’t worry. If you haven’t collected enough box tops to get the coveted ChannelPro Weekly secret decoder ring, you’ll still enjoy this week’s episode, in which Matt and Rich are joined by returning guest host Corey Kirkendoll, of 5K Technical Services. The three of them discuss LogMeIn becoming GoTo and making a push into the channel, Unitrends launching its first small office BDR appliances, and the secrets to picking an MSSP.

In a crowded market, only differentiated value tied to business outcome will make an offer outstanding.

Erick and Rich are intrigued by LogMeIn’s corporate makeover as GoTo, eager for you to freshen up your marketing materials for the age of hybrid work, and impressed by the chicken who somehow snuck into a high-security zone at the Pentagon.

Hybrid workforces with distributed employees have a wider range of locations to keep backed up and continuously operational.

Users of the billing reconciliation tool can now download unlimited copies of usage data from makers of consumption-based solutions at no charge.

Now named GoTo, the company has ambitious plans to market a simplified portfolio of integrated remote management and unified communications solutions through a dramatically expanded set of partners, including MSPs.

Introduced alongside a new cybersecurity education partner program, the new ION and ION+ appliance families are designed to pack the same features found in Recovery Series and Recovery Series MAX products into quieter, more compact form factors.

ChannelPro editors select Oli Thordarson, founder and CEO of Alvaka Networks, as the winner of the yearly honor for MSPs and VARs who have shared especially powerful peer-to-peer business advice.

Back on the air, though not yet back on the road, ChannelPro’s Joel Zaidspiner checks in on the latest from Cisco and channel newcomer Tribu.

Mmmm, nothing beats the intoxicating aroma of good salesmanship. Listen to Matt, Rich, guest host Lisa Shorr (of Secure Future Tech Solutions and Shorr Success) speak with sales expert Keith Lubner (of Sales Gravy), and you’ll see what we mean.
