Business RadioX Previews Small Biz Conference

SANDY SPRINGS, GA–(Marketwired – May 19, 2016) –  Hundreds of small business leaders from across the Metro Atlanta area will descend on the Hyatt Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina this Friday May 20 for the Small Business Matters 2016 Conference. Small Business Matters President Tim Fulton previewed the event with host Ryan McPherson on Atlanta Business Radio.

Fulton describes the Small Business Matters conference as an exclusive, TED-like venue for growth-minded small business operators to gain new ideas and insights that they can apply to their own strategic thinking. The conference will feature world-class speakers, facilitators and sponsors.

Fulton tells Atlanta Business Radio he got the idea to start the Small Business Matters conference after many years as a small business coach, consultant, counselor and professor.

Digging Companies Out of Debt on Business RadioX

“On The Money” Features Help for Struggling Businesses

DULUTH, GA–(Marketwired – May 19, 2016) –  On the May 4, 2016 edition of “On The Money” radio, host Joe Moss looked at a topic many business owners would rather ignore: how to bail themselves out of financial trouble. Clay Westbrook, who helps companies in these very situations, discussed his experiences in business, as well as his new book Debt & Circuses.

As the owner of Ascent Strategy Group, Westbrook has helped business owners and their advisors successfully negotiate their financial issues. Using proven negotiation skills, Ascent has worked out bad business loans and debt of over $4 million.

Westbrook says the process can seem daunting, but is easy to reach a resolution.

“Usually it’s as simple as having clients understand their own financial situation,” he explained to “On The Money.”

Ascent works with businesses in all different industries and, Westbrook says, helps them to battle the same challenge: an adversary with large or unlimited resources with which to exploit a struggling corporation’s weaknesses.

To learn more about Ascent and how they help businesses to see a new financial outlook, listen to the entire interview at “On The Money” radio.

Cyber Security Duo Warns Midlevel Companies on Business RadioX

Posted on

CEO Exclusive Radio Features Must-Listen Tips for CEOs and C-Level Execs

SANDY SPRINGS, GA–(Marketwired – May 18, 2016) –  CEO Exclusive Radio recently tackled the always timely and increasingly important topic of cybersecurity. Host Soyini Coke was joined by Mike Potts and David Cocchiara of Lancope, as they looked at ways that midmarket companies can protect themselves against cyber criminals.

Potts, who joined Lancope in 2010 as the company’s president and CEO, has more than 25 years as an executive in the technology industry. Cocchiara heads up all of Lancope’s financial and operational functions, as well as leading the company’s dynamic business development and customer success teams.

The duo told Coke they have found there are various breeds of cyber criminals ranging from cause-oriented hacker-bullies to highly-structured, financially driven cybercrime organizations. Today’s cyber thieves are looking, they say, for information that has a longer shelf life than credit card data. This new kind of theft would target things like employee emails or CEO health records that could potentially be used for blackmail.

Potts and Cocchiara say midlevel CEOs often think their companies are too small to be targeted, but the opposite is true; cyber thieves see these companies as easy targets with backdoor entrances to the larger companies with whom they do business.

Cocchiara explains midlevel companies shouldn’t wait for the wake-up call.

“It only takes seeing one of your peers on the news or reading about them in the papets so many times before, as a CEO or C-Level executive, you’re going to start asking the question ‘Are we secure?'”

They say the solution is easy for midlevel companies willing to step up their vigilance in the following areas:

– Education

– Executive participation

– Information security

– Crisis response

In December 2015, Lancope was acquired by tech giant Cisco for $452 million.

To learn more about Lancope and its strategies for keeping midlevel companies safe from cyber crime, listen to the entire interview on CEO Exclusive Radio.

Posted on

DULUTH, GA–(Marketwired – April 29, 2016) – On the Money Radio dedicated this episode to a topic of growing interest to businesses small and large — cloud security. Host Joe Moss welcomed Olivia Rose Jenkins from QloudSecure to lend her expertise on this hot topic.

Jenkins founded QloudSecure earlier this year to address the concerns of law firms about exposure to the risks of data breaches, leakage, theft and subsequent liabilities. They have established themselves as a technology consulting services company that offers law firms the strategy, guidance and support they need to migrate to, and successfully operate on, a centralized cloud computing infrastructure. This type of infrastructure offers a turn-key solution for law firms’ explicit needs.

“Don’t trust!” Jenkins shared with On the Money listeners. “Data is a very expensive commodity… Guard it!”

QloudSecure has a proprietary six step process called QloudPrint, which helps businesses close gaps for good. It includes:

1) Discovering risk

2) Assessing the potential business impact

3) Designing a plan to close the gaps

4) Deploying security controls, as well as providing policies and procedures

5) Educating employees on best security practices to reduce potential issues going forward

6) Managing the service for businesses that do not have access to a good IT resource

Everything is customized to a business’ specific environment and tailored towards small to medium law firms.

Profiting Through e-Commerce on CEO Exclusive Radio

Posted on

ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwired – April 18, 2016) – CEO Exclusive Radio host Soyini Coke explored the question of whether mid-market CEOs can win at e-Commerce. She was joined in the discussion by Brooks Robinson and Joe Reger, who developed their own e-Commerce marketing platform in 2012. That platform has grown into Springbot, which helps online business grow their revenue by leveraging advanced revenue attribution and marketing automation technologies.

Robinson and Reger believe that today’s e-Commerce industry is vastly different from what it was five years ago. Distinctive trends have emerged, they say, particularly regarding platform use, data analysis, and customer interaction. They also note changes in the size of retailers that are having success in the market, and the different marketing strategies being employed by retailers of all sizes.

“Amazon has a great logistics,” Robinson says. “They have great shipping, obviously, with Prime, but when you actually look at the product content that comes from these smaller e-Commerce sites, they are so passionate about their products, that it really comes through with the buying experience, and the content on their sites is just amazing.”

Robinson and Reger stress the need for businesses to work with the customer in the way the customer wants to shop and buy. Through Springbot, they offer solutions in platform management and marketing for small to mid-level businesses.

Due to the vast increase in the use of tablets and smart phones, the percentage of customers that actually purchase something through smart phones or tablets has also increased. However, when compared to the numbers racked up by desktop purchases, the conversion rate from mobile devices is still lower. According to Robinson, while 30 percent of traffic is coming from mobile devices, only 15 percent of purchases are coming from those devices. The key, he says, is finding ways to capture that mobile audience.

The data around e-Commerce is increasingly difficult for mid-sized businesses to navigate. To effectively compete with the larger retailers, Robinson and Reger agree that partnering with experts can be key.

To learn more about Springbot and its vision for e-Commerce now and in the future, listen to the entire interview on CEO Exclusive Radio.
