Do clients take you more seriously? Does it help being able to put the pretty logos on your paperwork/website/e-mail? Or am I better sticking to just my core specialism, and not risk diluting the impact and looking like a logo hunter.
    I don't think being a microsoft partner does anything for my contracting business.

    It may do something for plan b but that is because that is being sold to people who don't understand that these partner schemes are really fairly worthless two way marketing schemes
