Sage News and Discussion

Anyone know what the criteria is for Chairmen's Club? SWK is missing, Infinity, ISM missing.

I've never understood their different breakouts for awards. DSD is a member of Chairman's Club - does Doug know the criteria? Is it longevity + sales + ???? BAASS is also missing - huge partner there.

Very interesting indeed. CommQuest Inc., - Located in GA, looks like a web design company, never heard of them and their website is under construction DesignR1 Software, LLC, Tempe, AZ DESIGNR1 SOFTWARE LLC, Tempe, AZ 2 companies from Tempe with very similar names. I wonder if they compete with each other? ""Chairman's Club and President's Circle award recipients for 2012 will be honored at an exclusive evening event with the Sage executive team, with further recognition incorporated throughout the Sage Summit 2013 conference, where they will celebrate their accomplishments with thousands of their partner peers and customers."" Glad when I made it we went to Cancun and had some real benefits!

That's a mistake re: DesignR1 - it's the same company.

Chairman's Club is simply top 20 in NA sales, as far as I know. But I don't seem to know that much, because I counted 21. SWK is a Chairman's Club honoree as far as I know, and I have no idea why they're not on the list. I don't think that ISM made the cut.

That's why there are 21.

@PeterWolf Really? I am shocked that a press release could go out with such an obvious typo! I guess my smart ass runneth over the edge of my chair.

Looks like Sage pulled the press release so maybe they caught the inaccuracy

I think the criteria is not just the top 20, but the top x by product type or category.

@GaryFeldman Some of these are tough to find via Google searches because as you've pointed out the names are very similar to other companies. It's pretty easy to land on the wrong page if the company name is generic. Usually I stick in +sage so that I would only land on the page if the search also included the Sage product name.

The Chairman's Club is not by product. That's President's Circle. NA Chairman's Club is simply the top 20 revenue producers for Sage in North America.

And, besides an all expense dinner with some executives, what exactly do either of these mean anymore? How many net new deals do you gain because of this?

The benefits of being a Chairman's Club honoree are awesome. They include: o Complimentary Sage colon cleansing kit for your entire staff o Five free throws at the Ron Verni dunk tank booth at Summit o Sage-branded ""Basket of Puppies"" motivational poster (framed) o 2 complimentary tickets to the Gangnam Style world tour stop in Paris (airfare not included) If that doesn't get you revved up to sell, sell, sell, then I don't know what will.

HAH! Sign me up!

I'm up for the Gangnam Style tour!

This is my niece's daughter with PSY yesterday.

Oppa's Gangnam style!
