Early arrivers to NADA 2015

Some of us have the job of arriving early to #NADA2015 and here is my checklist for my bags:

Phone chargers!
Stevia ( they only have sugar and Sweet and Low at conventions )
Extra socks! Feet are going to be hurting, twice the number of socks is a great idea to stay alive for the second part of your day
Smile! It's going to be a jam-packed week so better put that smile on
Extra shirts! Inevitably somebody ALWAYS spills on me
Extra phone! Inevitable somebody USUALLY knocks my phone out of my hand and breaks the screen

That's it, I'm packed and ready for #NADA2015

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple. It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry. This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers. Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference. All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h

Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach goes big with RyanTech and Microsoft

April 6-8, 2017 - A NEW kind of auction experience It was a big week last week for RyanTech, Microsoft and Barrett-Jackson auctions. Not only did they auction off over 400 vehicles and generate tons of cash for charities they "unleashed" the cloud in a partnership with RyanTech, Microsoft and BuildFire. Our planning for the event started only 2 days prior to heading out to Palm Beach, FL to support the desire to replace the paper catalog that bidders are provided with a digital one. True digital transformation happened in lightning speed thanks to the interest and approval of Barrett-Jackson's CEO Craig Jackson. Craig has invested in technology for a very long time and certainly holds the award for most innovative in their space. Craig has been utilizing the Microsoft on-Premise infrastructure for over 15 years and in fact even stated in an interview at the auction that he personally built the first server that his companies run on.

HUGE increase in gmail addresses - BAD for your business

First of all, YES, I have a gmail address. I enjoy it! It's used almost every time I buy something online, subscribe to a newsletter and/or I join a list. What does that tell you? It means it's my junk mail email address. And it works so well to deliver my junk to me that I look at it about 24 times a year. Yep, it's on my Outlook calendar to look at twice a month. Usually I get to it and I did this morning. It takes me about 15 minutes each time to scan through all the garbage and only interact with what I need. For this, I LOVE my gmail. Now, ask me where I spend my every day all day? It's not in my gmail. That said, I've seen and have the metrics to show that there has been a HUGE number of companies or people using gmail as their primary work email address and it's KILLING their ability to get to my inbox. I'm nobody special, just a guy who lives in his inbox buying and selling goods for the better of our company. If you are trying to g
