Obtaining product/ service information
“Partnerships need a lot of resources and work. It is not enough to just offer discounts and send an email promoting it.”
– President & CEO of the Glenwood Chamber of Commerce.
“It is hard to reach out to big businesses and market our services. Usually companies reach out to us about partnerships, but IT firms haven't been in the forefront.
During a partnership it can be a burden if the partner needs too much attention (calls, meetings, etc.) because we have limited resources.“
– VP, Membership Development at the National Small Business Association

What Can Working with Business Associations Do for You?
• Through MCC, we support our Partners’ efforts to educate Business Association membership on the right Microsoft Technology for each business
• Business Groups or Organizations with SMB Members = Business Association
(e.g., Chambers, healthcare association, legal association, etc.)
• Members look to these groups to stay on top of the latest in IT solutions, local marketplace, networking, and trends that impact their business
• Building a strategic relationship with these Business Associations in your market can afford you opportunities to reach their membership base
