Working Smarter Network to Benefit Business Professionals
New Initiative Provides One-Stop Access to Free Business Strategies,
Tips and Tactics by Noted Experts
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SmartDraw.com, publisher of the Working Smarter blog, which offers
practical strategies and ideas for businesses of all sizes (http://blog.smartdraw.com/),
has announced the formation of the Working Smarter Network (WSN).
The WSN is an exclusive consortium of websites and blogs that provide
varied, relevant and useful information to help businesspeople be more
effective.
“There are dozens of sites, in addition to our own devoted to providing
valuable business and marketing information. The problem is that most
people who can use this knowledge don’t know they exist,” said Paul
Stannard, CEO of SmartDraw.com. “We started the WSN as a way for a
businessperson to readily identify sites—in one location—that offer only
relevant, truly usable and proven business strategies, tips and tactics
that can help them succeed.”
WSN members are nominated for membership by an advisory group that
conducts a rigorous site review process focused on quality, relevance,
content, and applicability. WSN members are then identified by the
exclusive Network emblem on their web site blog roll. All members then
include the blog roll links on their sites so that businesspeople can
quickly jump to and from sites that are most useful for their needs.
Importantly, WSN content, which includes articles that contain lessons
and free eCourses, is shared with millions of business owners, managers,
consultants and other professionals looking to improve their
communication, business processes and productivity, whether it is by
visually communicating processes, improved sales tools, more convincing
presentations, enhanced marketing and management skills or general
professional development.
Charter members of the Working Smarter Network include:
1. Altman’s Better PowerPoint
2. The PowerPoint FAQ
3. B2B Sales & Marketing Knowledge Sharing
4. Drew’s Marketing Minute
5. The JF Selling Resources Blog
6. Indezine – PowerPoint & Presentations
7. Marketing Interactions
8. Selling Magic Sales Journal

11. B2B Marketing Confidential
12. PBR – Sales Training & Leadership
13. The Sales Hunter

“Reaction to the WSN has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Stannard.
“Businesspeople appreciate knowing there is a growing network of sites
and information in one easy-to-find location. We expect the WSN member
base to increase exponentially in the months ahead.”
