It does look plausible, the spelling and grammar are surprisingly correct, for malware authors, but, as ever, one should always be cautious concerning e-mail attachments. Even those that purport to come from Microsoft and especially those that contain executables. Sophos suggests that you go to the official Microsoft website to obtain your fixes since anyone who succumbed to this scam, far from enjoying ”the highest levels of stability and security“, will now be running a nasty little Trojan. 6月15日 West Region Partner RepresentativeDid you know that Neil Pearlstein from PC Professional has signed on to be your Partner Area Lead for the up and coming Microsoft Fiscal Year. Neil is also a board member with the Nor-Cal IAMCP and a member of the US SBSC advisory board. With WPC fast approaching, and his direct connection with management level people at Redmond Neil’s goals are to work to effect change in the SBSC program with Microsoft based on feedback he is receiving from Partners in the Western US abroad. Neil is trying to help create a larger voice for the “little guys” on Microsoft’s Partner lists. He will work to provide insight into things that Microsoft is planning to do in the future with regards to SBSC and ask for input on these agendas before they are released to the community.
Neil is asking that you sign up for his blog at http://npearlstein.myblogsite.com/ so that together we can start posting information and insight that may generate constructive conversation to effect change. You can also always email Neil at npearlstein@pcprofessional.com with any questions or comments you may have with regards to information and his role as a “PAL”. 6月8日 Check out new search engine for SBSC partners!!We have a NEW search engine for SBSCs in www.microsoft.com/smallbusiness - check it out.

(For Example: only 60 partners in NorCal have signed up to date. if you have "Congratulations" you're making extra money, if you haven't, you're missing out!) 5月13日 Microsoft Matchmaker Update - Participate Today!Microsoft Matchmaker has been in now been in market for 1 month! So far, we’ve had 815 Partners Profiled and 20 leads passed! Is the Microsoft Matchmaker Cash Incentive Working? 80% of the leads passed have been ERP or CRM leads, which is a strong indicator that the cash incentive is driving behavior! Of the 20 opportunities, submitted into the tool, 16 of them were Dynamics (9 landed in East Region, 4 in Central and 3 in West). The Cash Incentive is only in market through June 15th, so we have approximately 1 month to maximize this opportunity!
What can you do to help drive more traction around this contest and get more ERP and CRM leads? 1. Ensure your partners have profiled themselves to catch leads (partner ready email attached) 2. Reach out to your platform counterparts to ask how they’re landing this incentive with partners: a. Make sure they have distributed the partner-ready email to all their partners (breadth and depth) b. Make sure they’re aware of the one pager and new! slide deck that are designed to help partners identify and qualify Dynamics opportunities (included in the partner-ready email) c. If there are Area calls or events you’d like to see Matchmaker presented at - let us know and we’ll try to arrange a demo and Q&A! d. Leverage your PTS’s where appropriate if you think they can help 3. Encourage your partners to submit platform leads – this will encourage reciprocal behavior
Upcoming improvements to www.microsoftmatchmaker.com (will be live by May 29th): · MSPPID and Virtual IDs being refreshed to ensure all partners can create a profile · Partners will be able to edit their own organizational profiles (add additional selling geographies) · PAMs will no longer have to play a part in routing leads – one central alias will capture and distribute any lead that is not already assigned to a partner to ISS/tPAM teams, as appropriate (Lead Grid will be used for Dynamics leads) · Improved Reporting (by Area, Region and US)
