Anita Campbell, founder, CEO and editor-in-Chief of Small Business Trends

At the moment, RIM is the sponsor of the first Top 100 influencers SMB contest, conducted by Small Business trends and SmallBizTechnology.com. Anita Campbell of Small Business trends and Ramon Ray of SmallBizTechnology.com were able to write articles, creating tools and speaking at events for years, with a mission to make it easier than ever for small businesses to thrive in today's economy. I watched their work from a distance for a long time, so I'm excited to interview Anita on SMB contest Influencer.

The requirements to be appointed are person, company or organization must have accomplished or product something that affects positively a group of small businesses. I am thrilled with the response — so far there have been nearly 400 nominations.
After nominations closed, there will be a period of voting to choose the Top 100 Small Business influencers.
