This week I was a speaker at Sage's customer conference in Denver, Colorado. The attendees at this event are business owners who use one of the many Sage accounting solutions to run their business.
Pictured above are Carolye Asfahl and Rhonda Strobel who are Sage customers who run a business that produces clever marketing products like the headgear above. Their company is called Elope, Inc which is an acronym for "Everybody's Laughing on Planet Earth". Who doesn't love that company name?
I noticed them in every session, including the 3000-attendee keynote presentation. What a wonderful way to get your company noticed. I realize that not everyone has access to wearable hats as their main product, but still. These guys were thinking. They were attendees at this event, not booth sponsors and yet they made an impression.
Their success (I'm talking about them here, aren't I?) proves that there are low cost ways to get yourself in front of prospects and customers if you just keep looking for opportunities.
Now, you'll have to excuse me while I go order some nerd glasses from their website.

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com Archives
