I had a relatively good day in Chicago. Travel can be hard because my e-mail inbox is flooding with inbound e-mail as I’m about my activities and so I’m often just trying to steal the moments I can to try to stay on top of things. Even still, it’s nice to mix things up a little bit.
In Chicago, I presented at a CSI user conference. They are wanting to either resell our technology or allow their customers to contract directly with us. I did a presentation at a break-out session for seven minutes to fifty people. I didn’t feel very on, and I barely prepared (I think those two are definitely related), but I chalked it up to the fact that I have a million things going on right now and this deal was not super big or promising, but CSI is a big SAP partner, and it was important for the overall relationship I feel, that I go and present. Plus some business really could come from it.
Then I met with my contact, Jessica, at a medical device company. They just barely signed their contract. She greeted me with a hug, which felt fitting because we’ve been working together for six months to try to push something through and we finally did. She is a great person and was fun to talk to.
Then it was back home to Provo 🙂
