Empower yourself by attending Method Solution Provider University

Method_Danny — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:23:00 GMT

Starting this month, school bells will be ringing with the opening of the Method Solution Provider University (MSPU), presented by none other than Joe Woodard. Now if you haven’t heard, we had a packed house at the Scaling New Heights Conference last month and one thing we know for sure is that consultants are serious about expanding their knowledge in Method. We had over 150 attendees attend the level 1 certification training during the three-day conference and over 50 take the exam onsite. I want to throw a shout out to Susan Cook from Account Ability for being the first to pass the Method Certified Consultant exam for 2010!

I couldn’t be more thrilled about MSPU starting this month. As a consultant, this is a no-brainer, seeing as you are now given the tools and education to take your practice to the next level. You can visit the MSPU by clicking here. When I spoke to Joe about this over the last few weeks, here were his thoughts:

“I believe Method has real game changing potential within the QuickBooks community. Method has certainly changed the way we provide consulting for our clients. Sales of Method consulting and software over our first 12 months is just under $100k, and the opportunities keep coming. As charter members of the Method Solution Provider program we are thrilled to be working with Method to provide training for other MSPs - through both our annual conference called "Scaling New Heights" and through the newly formed Method Solution Provider University. The consulting opportunity around Method is tremendous, and through our partnership with Method we will empower countless QuickBooks consultants to expand their professional expertise, to provide powerful results for their clients who use QuickBooks, and to grow their practices.”

MSPU has options that can work for you depending on your schedule, budget and level of involvement. Level 2 boot camp classes are limited in size and those who attended the Scaling New Heights Conference got first dibs on enrolment. If you’re interested in getting in, sign up for classes today!

P.S. I’ll also be making my way around some of the Level 2 boot camps across the country, so stay tuned for further updates.

Cheers,

Danny

Method launches Level 1 Certified Consultant Certification @ Scaling New Heights!

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:37:00 GMT

Last week we were at the Scaling New Heights Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, and wow - what an incredible conference it was. This was the second year Joe Woodard held this conference and his team definitely put together a successful event.

Scaling New Heights was particularly exciting for us at Method because for the first time ever, we had our own Method Solution Provider Certification track! For three days, we had the opportunity to train QuickBooks ProAdvisors, ISP’s, consultants and accounting professionals on Method, preparing them for their Level 1 Certified Consultant Certification. With that said, I’d like to extend a big THANK YOU to all of you who attended Scaling New Heights and took one or more of our Method sessions. The turnout in the Method track was overwhelming - over 150 people – and was definitely more than we could have ever asked for. We had nearly 50 people take the Level 1 exam at the end of the course and we were blown away by such enthusiasm! We also gave attendees a sneak preview of the Method Expense Reports App, and after receiving such positive feedback, you can count on seeing its release in the Method App Library quite soon! Of course, the conference was also a hit because we got to see so many of your familiar faces, along with the new, and we hope to see you again soon.

Not only did Scaling New Heights represent our first Method Solution Provider Level 1 training, but it also marked the opening of Level 1 Certified Consultant Certification! Within the next couple of weeks, we will be announcing an online exam process, which will be available to those of you who wish to become a Level 1 Certified Consultant.

In addition to achieving Level 1 Certification at the conference and online, Level 2 Advanced Certified Consultant Certification Boot Camps will also be held this summer, across the US. Once you pass your Level 1 exam, you become eligible to register for a Level 2 boot camp, led by none other than Joe Woodard himself. There will be limited seating (about 20 per class) in these boot camps, which will take a more practical (vs. theoretical) approach to Method. More information on Level 2 boot camps will be posted soon.

Once again, thank you to all of you who showed interest in Method and the Method Solution Provider Program at the conference, and we will be in touch soon regarding next steps towards various certifications. If you were not at the conference and would like more information on being involved as a Method Solution Provider, please contact Danny Do Couto at d.docouto@methodintegration.com.

Have a nice day,

Katie

Method Integration - Scaling New Heights 2010 – Gold Sponsor

Method_Danny — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:49:00 GMT

In 5 months, we’ll be headed to Atlanta, GA as Gold Sponsors for the Scaling New Heights 2010 Conference. If you didn’t attend last year’s conference, you definitely want to get involved this year. Why? For starters, this conference is packed with intermediate and advanced training on QuickBooks products for consultants and accounting professionals. Better yet, new for 2010, Joe will officially be launching the Level 1 Certification training and has added a Method Training and Certification track. Excited now? I thought so.

I attended this conference last year and was very impressed, especially with it being Joe’s first swing at the conference. The new venue looks fabulous and is an excellent opportunity for Method Solution Providers to prepare for their Level 1 Certification.

For those consultants who are new to Method and wonder what added value it can bring to a QuickBooks user, check out this webinar Joe did a few weeks ago. It’s meant to be a teaser of what’s to come while at the conference.

See you all there in t-minus 165 days.

Joe Woodard partners with Method Integration as the only endorsed trainer and writer for Method Solution Providers

Method_Danny — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:33:00 GMT

In June we announced the beginning of the Method Solution Providers Pilot Program at the Scaling New Heights Conference in Atlanta. The pilot program allows members from groups such as Scaling New Heights, The Sleeter Group, QuickBooks ProAdvisors, Intuit Solution Providers and Microsoft Certified Professionals to get involved with Method as a Consultant or Account Manager without being certified. Method Solution Providers are provided with Method accounts to use in their own business and are also granted access to exclusive webinars, conducted by yours truly. Since June, the Method Solution Providers Pilot Program team has grown very quickly. In fact, within one month of returning from The Sleeter Group Conference, our team of Consultants and Account Managers has grown by over 30%. Impressive? I’d say so.

Joe Woodard and I first connected over LinkedIn back in February of this year. Since then, Joe has been actively using Method in his own practice and providing it as a solution to many of his clients. Method has become a vital part of his consulting business. Joe has not only invested time in learning Method customization, but he has also developed Pendulum – an online timesheet application that integrates with QuickBooks.

I’m very happy to announce a new partnership between Method Integration and Joe Woodard, President of Creative Financial Software. Joe Woodard is now the only endorsed trainer and writer for the Method Solution Provider certification in the U.S. and the only recognized author of The Official Method Solution Providers Reference Guide. Starting in 2010, Joe will also be conducting a series of Method Certification Boot Camps, which will supply Consultants and Account Managers with the knowledge required to provide Method consulting services. Joe’s experience with Intuit products, strong consulting background and passion for learning Method, makes him an asset to the Method Solution Providers team and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board. Electronic copies of The Official Method Solution Providers Reference Guide will be available, free of charge, to all members of the Method Solution Providers Pilot Program. The guide is meant to prepare Consultants and Account Managers for the certification exams.

The release of the guide and certification will help to launch the Method Solution Providers Program out of its pilot next year. During the remainder of the pilot, I plan on conducting new webinars and, of course, listening to your much needed feedback. For those of you who are not participating in the pilot program but would like to, please feel free to contact me directly at d.docouto@methodintegration.com or 1.888.925.6238 ext. 708.

Stay tuned for more information on the Method Solution Providers Pilot Program as it becomes available.
