Hello Oleg,

This month, we are excited to bring you a number of resources that will help you grow your business, including a recorded webinar on building a practice around Google Apps and video testimonials of partners that have successfully done so. And we've got resources to help you position Google Apps with prospects and customers including content on mobile support, trusting Google with business data, and a Google Apps video to embed in your website. We also invite you to our weekly webinar on the reseller program and provide links to the latest feature updates.

Resources

Building a Web Practice around Google Apps
We recently delivered this webinar with Redmond Channel Partner for an audience of prospective Google Apps resellers. In it Jeff Ragusa walks through some of the ways our successful partners have built a practice around Google Apps and are driving customers toward 100% web.

New "reseller-friendly" Google Apps introductory video
We noticed that the short videos on our product website have links to our own sign up flow and reference our list pricing, making them awkward for our partner community to use. So we removed those elements in this Google Apps introductory video and now you can share it with prospects without causing confusion. It focuses on the value of the Google Apps suite, showing the power of messaging and collaboration for teams and businesses. Embed the video in your web site by copying the code.

Reseller video testimonials
Learn from other resellers why they decided to become Google Apps resellers and how they have built their business around Google products. Go to the Apps Reseller Program YouTube channel for these reseller stories.

A refresher on our great mobile support
Find the latest in mobile supportability for Google Apps on the Google Apps for Mobile page, and particularly Google Apps experience on Android devices. The mobile team has also made the Gmail for mobile app sharper and smoother on high-resolution phones, such as the iPhone 4m, and created a simple pull down and release option to refresh Message List. Stay update to date on the latest developments in mobile through the Google Mobile Blogand find more here about mobile updates for Google Apps.
