Yesterday, TBI kicked off our new partner webinar series with a topic that’s been creating some waves in the channel community: technology convergence.

I, along with our Sales Trainer, Dave Landsberger, decided to develop this series of bimonthly webinars because our industry is in the midst of a major transformation. Unfortunately, we’ve seen a lack of education being provided to the channel community surrounding this transformation and we want to fill that gap. Our goal is to help our partners gain a better understanding of the changing trends so we can focus on how you can use these changes to expand your business and profit from them.
