Anneliese Olson
Director, HP LaserJet Category Management

» Do you have a chief creativity officer in your business?

Anneliese Olson

» Podcast: Manage your printing with one easy, monthly payment with HP Smart Printing Services

Anneliese Olson
Director, HP LaserJet Category Management

I have talked to a number of small business customers over the years and one statement I hear time and time again is that you are willing to consider anything that would save you time and money.  You are in business because you have passion and expertise in a particular product, service or experience you can deliver; you are not in business to make technology decisions …

Anneliese Olson
Director, HP LaserJet Category Management


Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a fun and safe holiday.  Here we are…starting off 2008.  We’ve all made resolutions- some personal, some professional.  Setting goals is a good thing; however, we need to be SMART when setting them (many of you have probably heard of SMART goals. SMART is a goal-setting acronym, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant and Time-based goals) …

» Buy from the Channel or Buy Direct? HP Lets the Customer Decide

Anneliese Olson
Director, HP LaserJet Category Management

HP gives small business customers options of where and how to buy their products, solutions and services- and we've been doing it for a long time. We have a large network of channel partners who service you. We also have our own direct selling motions to buy direct from HP, whether it be from our website, our call center or our direct sales reps. We get questions from you, our customers and channel partners, about HP’s go-to-market strategy and whether we are trying to prioritize one selling motion over another. I figured it was time to tackle the conversation directly…
