• I have lead Webo from the outset. Read about Webo (Pty) Ltd at: https://www.webo.directory/hubs/At Webo, I work with a team of peers, aka Spiders, who coach Webo Hub SME's, in the Webo Academy, one of seven Webo.
• The Problem: Increasing competitiveness among B2B Corporates, who are not aware of the opportunity for audience building with Webo Community Hubs, seek ways to attract SME clients.
• Another Problem: SME websites without huge marketing budgets are dormant and big B2B businesses scramble to find ways to grow their SME client base as it becomes evident that their growth is now based on their reach.
• What We Do: We help B2B businesses grow their brand value by providing value added benefits to SME clients so that they have a sense of belonging to a community where membership benefits include collective marketing.
• In Summary: We simplify digital marketing; The disruption is the creation of branded B2B hub communities offering digital marketing benefits to members.
• In Conclusion: A Webo Hub is an online community that is like a virtual mall on the internet. All share the same location but each has a unique address and “the mall” offers eBusiness, eCommerce and eMarketing software.
