The Upside: Killer Sales Tips from the folks at Glance Networks

We just received word today that we are one of 10 companies selected as "finalists" in the 2008 Dell/National Federation of Independent Business Excellence Award. We were competing with over 200 companies worldwide.

From the NFIB web site web site:

"Established in 2004, the Dell/NFIB award program honors small businesses that instill the spirit of innovation and apply information technology to improve customer service. Each entrant must show how it has used information technology to drive a significant change or develop a competitive advantage in delivering superior customer value and experience."

This award feels especially relevant on a personal level. We have worked hard here at Glance to use technology to create and deliver a tool that makes life easier for small and medium-sized businesses like us. Using Glance, our customers can demo their products, meet with customers and workers, connect and collaborate online with anyone -- with just a click.

Our vision has been to avoid the slippery, seductive slope of "feature creep," which we feel plagues too many high (and low!) tech products.

A simple tool is an oft-used tool.

Simple tools enjoy a virtuous circle: Simple means there's less that can go wrong, making them inherently more reliable, which gives people the confidence to use them frequently, which makes them valued.
