Zoom Partner Reseller
In the Spring of 2024 I became a Zoom Partner Reseller. My goal with this is primarily to advise current and potential clients on the best-fit Zoom Events licensing strategy for their organization. Zoom sales people are, well, sales people. I’m not really a sales guy, but I know what the products can (and can’t) do for you, and can help you pick the best fit license that also fits your budget. Does that sound like a sales guy to you? Get in touch and let’s talk.
Z-SPAN
In late 2023 I founded a group of like-minded Zoom Event producers. I refer clients to them for a variety of reasons, the biggest one being geographic location. Sure, we virtual folks can help anyone, anywhere, but it’s the “any time” that gets us. For folks in Europe, I’ve got a few associates in the UK with experience, and a few more around the world. Contact me through this button and I’ll hook you up!

A Zoom Community Champion
I’m very proud to be an active contributor to the Zoom Community, a place where literally anyone can go and ask a Zoom question. I’m very proud of the Community badges, but my goal is to help people, not to gather points and badges. Still, the badges and stats tell you a lot:
- I’ve now made over 4,000 posts on the Community.
- Over 500 of these posts have been recognized as “Solutions”.
- People appreciate my guidance and help, with over 1,300 Likes on my posts.
What Can I Do for You?
Meetings, Webinars, and Conferences
For starters, I facilitate (you do most of the work) or produce (I do most of the work) online meetings, webinars, and conferences using Zoom. I don’t try and sell you any fancy, expensive extra add-on hosting system. Conferences can be multi-day (up to 6 days, and don’t have to be consecutive), and can be any combination of meetings or webinars. Contact me for a demonstration — the Zoom Events package includes a Lobby, a vendor expo, and networking opportunities for all participants.
I provide one-on-one Presenter Consultations for each presenter which includes coaching on audio, camera, lighting, and screen sharing. I ask each presenter to upload the presentation to a DropBox folder, to have on hand as backup during the live show.
I use a variety of additional software to help in producing your event, including vMix, StageTimer, PromptSmart, and SlidesClicker. I have licenses for these, so they don’t cost you any extra, and in general, you don’t need to know anything about them.
Event Registration and Payment Services
If you need a specialized event registration process, I use Eventbrite. Eventbrite provides a robust ticketing system with the ability to handle a variety of ticket prices, discounts, group purchasing, plus the ability to enter tickets purchased via check, and guest/complementary tickets, all in one convenient system. Eventbrite will pay out a significant portion of your proceeds twice a month, and release the balance about 2 weeks after the end of your event. Eventbrite’s service fee is around 11% of your total ticket price, but in my opinion, is worth the cost.
Zoom Events has its own robust registration and ticketing system, and they’ve made some significant functionality enhancements in 2024. Let me know if you would like to explore Zoom Events.
Consulting Services
I love consulting with other Zoom producers — those that have their own clients and events — providing planning and in-session assistance as needed. Already in the Zoom production business? Let’s get together and discuss how we can assist one another.
Another service I provide — primarily for small businesses with no in-house Zoom management experience and one-person consultant companies — is review Zoom account settings at the user and admin levels and make recommendations for improvement or reduced costs.
Zoom Phone
I’m also a Zoom Phone user, and have helped a number of clients with phone system configuration, including Automated Receptionists and Call Routing. If you’re a big operation with Contact Center and Virtual Agent licenses – they’re beyond what I know. But if you’re a small company just trying to get it to work the way you want it to – I’m your guy.
Pricing
My rates are “comparatively inexpensive,” and I’m happy to share details with you during a free 30-minute no-obligation Zoom meeting (schedule here). You won’t get any high-pressure sales pitches. My goal will be to understand your needs and determine if we’re a good fit. I rarely turn down potential clients, but my criteria for discount consideration depends a lot on understanding your needs and how you operate.
About My Image…
Wondering about that image of me? A good friend of my son drew that for me. I’d seen his work, and asked if he could create a pencil drawing from a few pictures of me. I like it so much I use it everywhere — on business cards and social media.
