GlobalLinker.com Empowers Small Businesses to Get Through the Economic Crisis
GlobalLinker.com is a free business centric website with a global business network that allows small businesses to manage and grow their business more efficiently in today's economy. GlobalLinker.com offers small businesses a virtual online office from where they can network with other businesses and access an array of powerful business tools.
Lawrenceville, NJ, April 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- GlobalLinker.com was launched recently and offers an array of business tools on a global business network. This free website has been designed to empower small businesses to efficiently manage and grow their business in today’s challenging economic environment.
GlobalLinker.com’s patent pending technology takes online networking to a whole new level. On GlobalLinker.com small business members have a virtual office with a virtual secretary and virtual business cards which members can exchange to network with other businesses. Unlike a physical office, members can access their virtual office on GlobalLinker.com from anywhere to get a snapshot of all their activities. Members can also interact with their virtual secretary who reminds them of their meetings, upcoming events, and even sends time critical alerts.
GlobalLinker.com was founded by twin brothers Keith Shroff and Kevin Shroff who themselves were small business owners of software companies. “It was so frustrating to see that no single solution fully addressed the actual needs of small businesses like ours” said Keith Shroff the co-founder and CEO of GlobalLinker.com. “We conducted a survey of small businesses to develop a comprehensive solution that was reversed engineered to meet the diverse and unique needs of this segment.” The survey conducted by GlobalLinker found that about 80% of small businesses will find value in networking with other businesses either locally or globally. Around 65% of small businesses said that they do not have all of the necessary tools to compete effectively in today’s economy.
In the current economic environment small businesses are facing a challenge of how to grow their business while cutting costs. Networking is very critical in finding new opportunities to generate new business. Around 55% of small business owners believe online social networking has a place in the business world according to a poll conducted by SurePayroll. However, small businesses are often confined to local business networks due to geographical constraints and lack of trust in dealing with companies that are located outside their geographical reach. These businesses have an option of using social networking websites which offer a very limited set of business tools. GlobalLinker.com is a free business centric website with a global business network. It levels the playing field by giving small businesses a global reach and exposure.
Small businesses can improve efficiency to cut costs. Currently, the tools small businesses need to improve efficiency are decentralized across many websites. Businesses have to create multiple accounts on multiple websites and learn how to use each website. GlobalLinker.com centralizes all the critical business tools on one website and offers them without any cost. On GlobalLinker.com, small businesses can use free business tools to post job openings, leads, events, groups, advice, create and host a website, create a portfolio of products or services, manage customer relationships and host virtual meetings with potential customers.
GlobalLinker.com is the first website in the world to offer such a huge variety of business tools on a global business network. GlobalLinker.com aims to be the home page of small businesses globally. “By offering relevant tools and resources on a networking platform, GlobalLinker.com will organize this fragmented segment of small businesses under one roof,” said Kevin Shroff, the co-founder and CTO of GlobalLinker.com. “This is a massive opportunity.”
This unique niche allows GlobalLinker.com to partner with third party providers that target small businesses and allows GlobalLinker to strike deals where these products and services are offered to small businesses at a discounted rate. GlobalLinker recently partnered with Priceline to provide business travel booking to its members.
Apart from offering their products and services, corporations and businesses also have an opportunity to private label GlobalLinker’s website with their branding and logo. Over 85% of social users believe companies should interact with their consumers through social media outlets according to a recent September 2008 study conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for Cone. These providers can have a Virtual Lounge to retain their existing customers and generate new customers on a single platform. They can better retain their existing customer base by actively interacting with their small business customers and offering them a rich environment and powerful functionality from their website. Furthermore, as these customers invite their suppliers, clients, associates and as the network grows, these providers can now target a whole new group of potential customers. With permission, providers can also target each other’s members through GlobalLinker.com and the possibilities are endless.
http://www.GlobalLinker.com is based in Lawrenceville, NJ and is a privately owned company that is affiliated with corporations such as Skype, British Airways, Priceline, USA Today, WebEx, GoDaddy, Adobe, and Intuit.
