&lt;p&gt;The &amp;ldquo;&lt;a title="Read more about the Awesome Add-on Award" target="_blank" href="http://www.sleeter.com/awesomeaddons"&gt;Awesome Add-on for QuickBooks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; award, presented by The Sleeter Group, recognizes a product that has superior integration with QuickBooks, overall design, outstanding features and conformance with appropriate accounting standards that make it an effective solution for many businesses.&amp;nbsp; Method hit each of those requirements and was one of only nine selected as an Awesome Add-on for 2010.&amp;nbsp; Needless to say, we were pretty proud when we heard about winning.&amp;nbsp; So what sort of criteria is considered when choosing a winner?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shows superior design, implementation and features.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Integrates with QuickBooks using best practices of the QuickBooks SDK programming guidelines.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Uses appropriate transaction types and field population for recording data into QuickBooks so as to preserve and/or enhance the standard reporting features in QuickBooks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Conforms to good accounting principles and operating standards.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This awards ceremony took place during the second day of the conference, but on Monday and Tuesday, I got a chance to show Sleeter Members the latest and greatest in Method. &lt;img src="http://www.methodintegration.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; It felt awesome being able to see so many familiar faces in the audience.&amp;nbsp; What made me even more pumped and excited was seeing the light bulb go off for the new faces in the crowd.&lt;img src="http://www.methodintegration.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-55.gif" alt="Idea" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; It made that knot in my stomach, which I get each time I present, all worth it (you laugh, but its true!).&amp;nbsp; My presentations tend to always be followed by questions starting with &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Do you mean this...?&lt;/i&gt;&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;I can really do that...&lt;/i&gt;&amp;rdquo; and that&amp;rsquo;s when attendees start to get it and think of practical applications where Method can be used. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At our exhibitor booth, we were buzzing, talking to Sleeter members, new attendees, current Method users and current members of the Solution Providers team.&amp;nbsp; I reflected where we were at our first year at Sleeter.&amp;nbsp; Back then, when we were asked &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;What does your product do?&lt;/i&gt;&amp;rdquo; we would say &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Anything you want it to do!&lt;/i&gt;&amp;rdquo;- Yikes!&lt;img src="http://www.methodintegration.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-7.gif" alt="Tongue Tied" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; I cracked a joke about it during my presentation but it just goes to show how far we&amp;rsquo;ve come along.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So where are we going to be 2 years from now at Sleeter?&amp;nbsp; You&amp;rsquo;ll have to wait and see, but I can say that our team is growing, or motivation is high and we are ready to bring Method to the next level.&amp;nbsp; Watch out!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://www.methodintegration.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; One last thing, don&amp;rsquo;t forget to sign up for our &lt;a title="Want to learn more about RSS Feeds?
