Sage News and Discussion

Sage Summit 2017 Partner Kickoff Call all partner webcast - February 20 1PM PT - Scott Ehmen Originally this was the day that registration was open, but the e-mail says the site will open in late February - I'm assuming it will now be 2/27. They can't even get this together as scheduled. Description: We will be officially kicking off Sage Summit Tour 2017's North American stops, Atlanta and Toronto. During this call you will learn about how to register, Partner Day, new pricing, sponsorship opportunities and more! Make sure to join Sage for this informative webcast. What is ""new pricing""? Same old strategy for the UK - if you don't make enough money, raise prices! There are so many issues with Sage NA, I wouldn't know where to start in this comment. I have spoken with Steve once, very briefly, on a call for MOTM planning, and he had to rush off to another meeting. He has been crisscrossing the country since he started, and I'm not sure what he is accomplishing. Same thing with Dianna Lane - almost never available.

Gee, too bad I will be in transit to THE conference of the year.

Someone please record this call for those that are traveling to MOTM on Monday. Thank you in advance.

Why do I feel like I've seen this movie a half-dozen times before?

Word's also out now on the reorg of our reps retroactively as of 2/1. Mine will change, and I'm not real happy about it. Sage thinks this is going to help. It's not. In a year, when that group of management is gone and nothing has substantially changed, they will look at other initiatives. The problem is they are not really fixing the problems. We all know what they are, but they don't want our input apparently. I don't feel they wanted the BPAC input either.

Our rep will probably quit anyway with all of the frustrations. I'd be surprised to see her around at year end.

It's been discovered that our firm may not be on any rep's list. Just the latest to fall through the cracks.

How did you hear this, John? Your rep?

Yes, because the rep we were supposed to be assigned to did not find us on her list. The other reveal was that part of the criteria for assigning was based on last year's numbers. We went from less than Silver to Platinum in a year, so that would be very misleading. (But nothing surprises me about Sage.)
