When I meet with SMB leaders across North Texas, one theme always comes up: they want partners who listen, not vendors who sell. That’s why I found Ep. 114 of Talk To Th3 Doc with Jose Duarte, CCIM so refreshing. The idea that “self-assessment is crucial for growth” isn’t just true in real estate—it’s true in IT partnerships too. Worth a listen if you’ve ever felt like service was treated as transactional. 📺 Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gKiZWdmE #TalkToTh3Doc #BusinessDevelopment #DFWSMB #CustomerService #ConversationBeforeDecision

The IT consulting landscape is being rewritten by AI at lighting pace. We’re moving from fragmented point products to end‑to‑end AI platforms that solve real business problems across smart cities, BFSI, manufacturing, retail, airlines and beyond. The conversation is shifting from “Which tool?” to “Which business outcome can we reimagine?” Look at Dell’s work with the City of Amarillo: the same AI‑driven capabilities that power a smarter city can transform IT helpdesks and call centers globally across domains. Today, as consumers, many of us dread IVRs — long menus, confusing options, no clear way to just “talk to someone”. Now imagine this instead: An interactive AI avatar that speaks your language of choice A natural, verbal conversation instead of pressing 1–2–3 Instant understanding of intent, context and emotion Seamless handoff to humans only when truly needed The result? Higher CSAT, lower wait times, and fewer escalations Reduced dependency on large night‑shift teams in low‑cost locations like India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Optimized operating costs with a more scalable, resilient support model This is just one slice of the art of the possible with AI‑powered digital assistance. The world is shrinking at an unbelievable pace — and innovative AI business solutions will be at the center of every serious boardroom conversation. At Dell, we’re helping customers make this real fast: Start with a simple Proof of Concept on a single workstation Experience AI digital assistants live with your own use cases Quantify the business impact and cost optimization before scaling 🔗 Explore Dell’s digital assistance solutions: Digital Customer & Employee Experience with AI: https://lnkd.in/gnkHSChq If you’re driving transformation in IT, operations, CX, or digital and want to see this in action, let’s connect.

A structured performance model purpose-built for partner organizations and it changes everything. We just released a white paper and case study comparing the traditional, program-centric partnering model to our MP3-OS Structured Performance Model, and the results are eye-opening:  • 𝟲𝟬% reduction in time-to-revenue (from 11 months to 4.2 months)  • 𝟮𝘅–𝟱𝘅 increase in partner push-to-market through structured seller activation  • 𝟳𝟴% fewer partners needed (from 27 to just 6) to achieve the same outcomes  • $𝟭𝟬𝟱𝗞 reduction in partner model costs  • 𝟮𝘅 revenue yield by aligning program spend with seller productivity If you're interested in how this model can transform your partner program, DM me or connect with any of the white paper contributors: Anton Silaev, Andre Becker, Bernhard Friedrichs, Neela Mistry-Bradshaw, or Samm DiStasio (Special thank you to these amazing partner pros, their talents are amazing!) There’s a better way to drive partner-sourced revenue. The math doesn’t lie. #ChannelSales #PartnerRevenue #RevOps #SalesStrategy #PartnerPrograms
