Conference focuses on massive SMB shift to SaaS and the growth opportunities ahead

June 10, 2019 (San Diego, CA) – Sales and marketing leaders from across the globe are meeting in San Diego this week for Conquer Local 2019.

The Vendasta conference sponsored by Boostability is expected to attract more than 275 sales and marketing executives and business strategists to the Hotel del Coronado on the beaches of Coronado Bay. Through the next two-and-a-half days, leaders will be immersed in data-backed talks aimed at helping them harness new growth opportunities, and explore the world of cloud brokerages.

The Journey

Vendasta research finds that 40% of all channel resellers targeting SMBs hit a growth stall in the first 12-14 months of selling a new product or service. With the theme of Growing Together, the conference will help attendees conquer potential stalls in their success, focusing on Vendasta’s 6 Growth Pillars:

    Providing proof of performance, meeting needs, and engaging with SMBs.
  • Customer Expansion – Growing a customer base & selling new services.
    Intelligent client profiling and sales, providing diversified products driven by automation.

Attendees will be led on a journey of talks and workshops focused on the pillars, supplying them with the information required to avoid stalls and take advantage of cutting edge opportunities in the B2B space.

“In today’s SaaS world, some businesses struggle to grow, some thrive, and others blow the doors off,” said Vendasta CMO and Conquer Local Conference Host Jeff Tomlin, “This event will focus on strategies and tactics that separate the wildly successful from the average.”

Cheung is a seasoned C-level executive with broad financial and operational experience in a range of high-growth, venture-funded, and early stage companies through to NASDAQ listed public companies. He has previously held the role of CFO at Vancouver-based TIO Networks Corp. which was sold to PayPal, Inc. for $305 million in 2017, and also served as Vice President of Business Development for Fusemail, a subsidiary of j2 Global, Inc.

“It is important to be part of a company that serves a large market, and also has a great corporate culture and strong leadership team. That’s what I’m finding in Vendasta,” said Cheung. “We’re positioned for enormous growth and are now building a foundation that will allow the business to scale to more than a $100 million annual run rate, which will make us a significant player in the digital marketing space.”

“Our current growth trajectory requires the skills and experience that Richard brings,” said Vendasta CEO Brendan King. “As we grow through $100 million, we will benefit greatly from his experience and knowledge in fundraising, public markets, and acquisitions. We are ecstatic to have him on board.”

I’m looking forward to being part of this vision.”

Cheung begins his role as Vendasta CFO immediately.
