    Interesting how the Webinar Started with a Sage Alerts and Workflow screen.   Easy for the mocking to begin!

    Hate to deliver the bad news that we messed up.... Commissions processing.  We paid at on-prem rate instead of subscription.
    Forgave 1 fiscal year where the books were closed, but since we can fix the financials this year, we are correcting the error over a 6 month period to try and make it cashless.
    ...
    Poor woman having to pick up this role.

    Nancy is way too nice and sweet to work for Sage.  What's the over/under on her tenure?

    From my perspective, mistakes are made...you received the service and therefore you need to pay.  In this case, Sage is trying to make it as easy as possible on their partner community.  If I were them, I'd approve negotiating to a 12 month get even plan if needed.  She could have sounded more confident and assured though.

    It is not a bad thing.  Keeping up 3 releases per year per product is hard with 2 patch collections.

    Wait...so this guy is using his valuable time and our valuable time to hit the slide button as quickly as he can to try to get us to spend more time viewing a 14, that's one-four minute video presentation?  Wow.  I think I would have done this differently...but maybe that's just me.

    $25 to anyone who makes it to Q and A and gets a believable public answer to how Sage spent 2 full years not realizing they were overpaying

    This was the first All Hands Call where the Partner Advocate program was not mentioned once. Is that an omen?​

    I love the Sage promo- we are giving away the first year Alerts & Workflow to new sales and planning to increase the price in year 2 ---just in time for the people on promo to get the increase ( presumably )

    Well, that was one rushed all-hands meeting. No Q&A either. I would have loved to ask how Sage missed noticing it was overpaying commissions to what must have been a sizeable number of partners since October 2017. If Sage made a public announcement and also discussed the problem on an all-hands then I have to conclude the dollars were probably material.

    Sage 100cloud promo:  buy 3 get one free, buy 5 get 2 free (for one year). 
    If you buy 4, do you get one free?  If you buy 6+, do you get two free?

    And what about the promo for " off-plan Sage 100cloud " customers to "avoid reinstatement" fees.

    What reinstatement fees?

    Isn't 100cloud claim-to-fame subscription pricing that you can drop it at any time without penalty?
    Do they charge a penalty to subscribe again? 

    Are they having Interns design these promotions?

    @Bob Pfahnl The buy 5​​ promo - it's for each 5. I'm working on a 30-user deal, so they will buy 22 and get 8 free (2 for every 5 users).
