MyBizOffice Showcases Top Talent
Helps Independent Consultants Enhance Personal Brand HERNDON, VA - December 7, 2006 - MyBizOffice®, Inc., the leading provider of business management solutions for self-employed professionals and their clients, recognized Associate John M. Parkman as the grand prize winner in a special personal branding competition coordinated with the launch of the new MBO “Connection Center” earlier this year. Associates Robert Barkalow, Faith Budington, Brian Colder, and Romulo Rios were runners up. The MyBizOffice Connection Center, a groundbreaking online skills inventory and networking system, gives MBO Associates access to exclusive project postings and enables them to more conveniently market their services to MyBizOffice’s prestigious client base. Each of the winners -- along with many other MyBizOffice Associates -- created a skills and services marketing profile representing best-in-class personal branding and market positioning for their expert consulting services. Personal branding expert Jean Cummings judged the competition and provided in-depth individual consultations to the first 100 participants. “Independent consultants need more than the traditional resume,” remarked Cummings. “They need a brand and complete set of marketing tools aligned for the right projects, reaching out to the right clients.” MyBizOffice President and CEO Gene Zaino said, “MyBizOffice is completely dedicated to the ultimate success of the entrepreneur. Our unique suite of services empowers self-employed professionals to take their career to the next level. Nurturing the brand development of these consultants and showcasing their expertise is a natural expression of our value promise. We are privileged to serve such a diverse and talented collection of experts.” The Connection Center technology helps MyBizOffice client organizations as well. Clients can use the Connection Center to create a customized private pool of highly skilled contract talent more efficiently than ever before. Managers, enterprise-wide, can search a growing database of qualified consultants whom their organization has engaged through MyBizOffice -- including retirees who choose to make consulting their next career. With this visibility, managers can efficiently re-deploy consultants familiar with their organization, drastically reducing costs and ramp-up time. About MyBizOffice, Inc.
