As you may know, SBI! Case Studies are not mere "testimonials." They are ongoing, evergrowing, real-time stories of real people using SBI!.
Recently, we received three more case study updates. All of them highlighted the personal freedom of time and choice that their SBI! business has given them, each in its own way. Let's start with Marc's bittersweet news...
Marc Liron and his wife Sarah feel so fortunate that they were able to be with Sarah's mum throughout her failing health troubles and at the time of death. During that difficult time, Marc never had to worry about taking time off from work or how his bills would be paid. His business kept building without him. In fact, in January 2007, Marc was awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 4th consecutive year due in large part to the high profile his site gives him online!

Judd Burdon, a local asphalt-sealing business owner who has "gone global," let us know that his site is soaring, with top ranking positions at Google for thousands of keywords. No wonder a recent crack repair equipment contract worth $18,000 came through Google -- Judd's asphalt maintenance site is easy to find. The best part of his news? Judd works from the comfort of his office overlooking a beach in Anguilla. No more steaming asphalt for him. His success also gives him the time to do some personal soaring as an avid kite surfer!

The final exciting update comes from Michelle Schill, our Work at Home Mom (WAHM) case study. Michelle is now the primary income earner for the family! Due to the success of her hair-styling site alone (she has several sites plus a Webmastering Services side business), her husband quit a grueling job in the oilfields and the family is moving to the ocean, fulfilling Michelle's lifelong dream. She will run her businesses and enjoy raising her children in what Michelle calls one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

What's The Point For Your Business??
Review the Case Studies site. A wide variety of businesses tell their stories in their own words. And they update regularly. These people are real, credible, detailed, and passionate. And their updates reinforce that SBI! success is no short-term fluke.
Every company features "Success Stories." Yawn. Or vague, sensational "testimonials." What a waste of time in the competitive small business B2B space...
What are you doing (honestly, of course) to make yours stand out? And oh yes... if customers are not e-mailing you with great and passionate stories, improve your product instead of "baffling them with BS," as the old saying goes.
