General Consultant Discussion

As a general FYI, it looks like Russ Graf has move on from Avalara. https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=19808135&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=tarId%3A1396982046717%2Ctas%3Aruss%20graf%2Cidx%3A1-1-1

Who is going to take our pictures at the next MOTM?

And someone into his position possibly

He's shilling Sage Inventory Advisor so there may be new sponsor in Netstock.

I like the way you think.

He lives here in San Diego.... Brian I bet you are right!!!

Psstt... it's right there in the link, Jim.

He'll probably still show up at MOTM - just wearing a different color shirt.

Different color beer can covers

Maybe he'll bring us some tea from his wife's tea shop next year.

@PhilMcIntosh that is his plan if we will have him.

This position seems to support the new approach of less direct channel involvement in the sales and implementation process. Just give you client list to Russ and he and Tom Wilson will do the rest.

@JohnHoyt when I talked with Russ last week, we discussed his building the channel and getting more resellers involved in selling. However, there is the argument that if we won't learn it and sell it, they need to make sales somehow. If not us, then who?

Yea, I'm not sure if everybody knows, like most of Sage's products, Sage didn't write Sage INventory Advisor. They are just rebranding Netstock's product. http://www.netstock.co
