New Technology

Got a call today from someone who recently switched companies. He said he switched because the new company had better products.

That is good and I'm glad for him he should switch to and offer the best platform for customers.

I have to be honest the product that he offered before stopped short. Now the one he now represents stops short as well. So as as a meeting planner I said I will look at it.

The companies creating new products please do me a favor ask me what I need instead of what you want to try to sell me. I'm not interested in a product that I have already evolved from. Yes that may work for the masses but not for me.

I don't understand why all new technology seems to be vetted by people that do not work on the planning stages of the event. Just a thought before you create think about us that need to use it.

Now I know my needs are not the same as others and you don't want to customize everything for everybody.

Technology is great but if you can please involve the users about what they want you might get more business from it.

I share everything with my vendors and I like to talk big picture unfortunately we are not always included in the equation.

Technology for this industry is weak. Be patient and encourage them to produce something better

Technology is our lifeline and we need to harness it. Remember we need to control it and facilitate it for our two customers.

Thanks for reading. sorry short conversation. Technology can rip you off. You need to understand the end results and don't work on promises work on reality,

Also make sure you understand if you are the one spending the money you are the one they will go after if it doesn't work. Hang in there and learn how to push the proper buttons.

Have a good week and thanks for reading
