News from breakfast with Dell. freeus: Well here is some information on 'Breakfast with Dell'. Highlights. Sept. 15, 1998---Many small businesses are rapidly jumping on the Internet, and even more could grow by tapping into the wealth of opportunities and significant competitive advantages offered on the Web, according to the chairman and CEO of Dell Computer Corporation (NASDAQ:DELL - news), which sells $6 million online daily. In the wake of a report by International Data Corporation(1) (IDC) showing that only nine percent of U.S. small businesses that were online in 1997 maintained a Web page, Michael Dell took to the Internet today to explain how small, growing companies can benefit from the efficiencies and revenue generating opportunities available in cyberspace. ''We urge you to use the Internet to grow your business today before your competition outgrows you tomorrow,'' said Mr. Dell, during the company's ''Breakfast with Dell'' live Web cast for small business. ''The Internet doesn't discriminate based on business size, so it levels the playing field between small and large companies.'' Small businesses that tuned into the ''Breakfast with Dell'' Web cast watched Mr. Dell's live presentation and asked questions via e-mail. He recommended small businesses take advantage of the Internet with a three-phased approach. -- Phase One -- Use the Web to gather information and deal with business partners and suppliers. -- Phase Two -- Establish a Web presence by developing a Web site to strengthen customer relationships. -- Phase Three -- Make the most of electronic commerce and drive business processes online. biz.yahoo.com
