I fully expected (and still do) that small business in my area would be affected by the general business malaise. For the most part (knock on wood…) they have not.
Although my largest client is now one of my smallest, all of the others have continued to do the same amount of business with us. In fact, the are generally looking for additional tools or savings that technology can bring to bear.
I tested my results at the SMBTN Los Angeles meeting the other night, and had very similar feedback. None of the small business IT professionals were seeing a slowdown at all.
It is extremely gratifying for a small business advocate like I am, to see the resiliency and the fire shown by small business. The question is can it continue with so many employees laid off, and so many enterprises chopping their business. It cannot help but affect small business. Let’s see how small business responds.
