Find a problem, solve it.
You have to remember that to an anal-retentive small business manager,
blippity-whizz-bang-digi-bl0rken-splort doesn't matter. You don't need to
bring Linux to their attention - bring stuff that fixes their problems, and
fills in the gaps.
Trying to sell "Linux" to a small business person is kinda like trying to
see them a silver bullet. They're bullshit-free, and aren't going to buy it.
(Buy it. Geddit? Anyway.)
[ I think 'big business', education and government are different. They need
to feel a certain amount of buy-in to a technology, especially when more and
more, they're losing control over their Windows systems. ]
