Method will be Scaling New Heights in 2011!

Method_Danny — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:52:00 GMT

It might still be winter, but here at Method we’re already gearing up for and looking forward to this year’s Scaling New Heights Conference, taking place in a few short months.

From May 23-25, 2011, the third annual Scaling New Heights Conference, presented by Joe Woodard, will bring together QuickBooks ProAdvisors and Intuit Solution Providers from all over the world. And unlike in years past, this year’s conference will be taking place just 10 miles outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.

For those of you unfamiliar with Scaling New Heights, it is an advanced, Intuit-centric training conference for Intuit Solution Providers and QuickBooks ProAdvisors . If you’re interested in learning more about QuickBooks and Intuit offerings, expanding the services you offer to your clients (like Method!), or networking with like-minded individuals, then you’ll want to look into attending Scaling New Heights 2011.

After exhibiting at Scaling New Heights over the past two years, as well as having a dedicated Method training and certification track in 2010, it was a no-brainer to return in 2011 as a Diamond Sponsor with a larger training and certification track. We’re very excited about our sponsorship at the conference and look forward to reuniting with some of our wonderful Method Solution Providers, as well as teaching some new friendly faces about the endless possibilities of Method’s implementation.

For more information about Scaling New Heights 2011, including sessions, information on the beautiful JW Marriott location, registration, and more, please visit www.scalingnewheights.com.

We hope to see you at Scaling New Heights in May!

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.

Method awarded as one of Joe Woodard’s Top 5 IDN for 2009

With today’s economy, businesses have to make difficult choices as to where they will spend their hard earned dollars. For anyone who attended the Scaling New Heights Conference in Atlanta last week, I strongly feel it was money well spent. This conference gave attendees a very unique opportunity to learn Intuit products, prepare for Intuit certification exams and interact with various ProAdvisors and Intuit Solution Providers. If that wasn’t enough, attendees at the conference received hands-on training from some of the top trainers of Intuit products like Joe Woodard, Laura Madeira and Mario Nowogrodzki just to name a few!

I feel extremely privileged that Joe allowed me to join the Scaling New Heights team last week, seeing as only 2 IDN products were invited to the conference. On Day 1, I led a class during the lunchtime break session, focusing on using Method for CRM (Customer Relationship Management). It was nice to see some familiar faces in a packed classroom. If anyone is like me, my stomach starts to feel a little funny when doing training sessions or presentations, but this time, it was also because I didn’t have a chance to touch my lunch. I was being pulled left, right and center by people wanting to have a few questions answered regarding Method. The training session went off without a hitch and for many people in the room, this was their first exposure to this product called “Method”.

This set the tone for the rest of the day on Monday, leading up to Tuesday when I helped Joe with presenting Method as one of his top 5 IDN (Intuit Developer Network) picks for 2009. I focused my presentation on 10 problems that could be solved by using Method. For anyone who is interested, Joe is offering a simulcast package with 5 of the classes that were at the Scaling New Heights Conference. For more information, please visit http://www.scalingnewheights.com

Scaling New Heights also marked the beginning of our Solution Providers Pilot Program which is going to help empower both Certified Consultants and Certified Account Managers with extensive Method product knowledge starting this week!

This was Joe’s first conference and was a major success. I look forward to attending Scaling New Heights 2010! Nicely done Joe!

Last month on our blog, I announced that I will be heading to Atlanta to participate in the Scaling New Heights Conference being hosted by Joe Woodard. If you haven’t heard about this conference yet, you should read my blog post from last month by clicking here.

Joe is actually offering a series of FREE webinars, leading up to the conference. I participated in one of the webinars last Wednesday and it is available for your viewing pleasure. Click the link below to view it.

If you haven’t taken a look at Method yet and want to see what all the fuss is about, check out this webinar. If you’re a current Method user, you may learn a thing or two after seeing it.

I do want to give a big “Thank You” to Joe for allowing me to show Method to the group. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone in May.

Enjoy!

Method is Scaling New Heights

Method_Danny — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:27:00 GMT

Social networking is an imperative and extremely powerful tool in today’s business. December’s issue of Baseline Magazine ranked “Social Networking” #6 for “Top 10 Trends in IT for 2009”. I wasn’t surprised to see that “Software as a Service (SaaS)” came in at #1. If you haven’t taken advantage of social networking tools to keep in touch with other business contacts and partners, you should! If you’re already a Method user, well you’re ahead of the game and are already using a SaaS product, nicely done!

Case in point – I have been actively using my LinkedIn account to touch base with other consultants, QuickBooks ProAdvisors, QuickBooks Intuit Solution Providers (ISP’s) and other SaaS users. It really is amazing how many people you can meet and how quickly your connections can add up.

In mid-January, through a common group on LinkedIn, I came across a posting by Joe Woodard regarding a conference for accounting professionals, QuickBooks ProAdvisors and Intuit Solution Providers (ISP’s). I connected with Joe and we found out that we both had attended the QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Conference in September but managed to somehow miss each other. We started to discuss Method and how it might help to solve some of his clients’ business needs. Joe and I were so excited about working together that he invited me to attend his “Scaling New Heights” conference being held in Atlanta, GA in May, 2009. Had it not been for LinkedIn, Joe and I may have never met.

Joe has invited me to lead a webinar on Method as part of his webinar series to promote the Scaling New Heights Conference. The best part is, the webinars are free! Free is always nice, especially in times like these.

I’m very excited about visiting Atlanta in May for this conference. I may be learning a thing or two from Joe after attending some of his classes.

Happy networking =)
