The Fastest Way to Invoice Your Clients

Dinner times on the road

by Mike McDerment - November 7/2007

When I travel, I’ve taken to randomly calling customers in the cities I visit and inviting them out to dinner.

Last week I was in Chicago and D.C. for conferences (here is a webcast of the panel I was on about SAAS… sorry about the form, just get past it and you’re good to go), and I managed to get a hold of some wonderful people in both cities. I usually make the arrangements at the last minute, often the same day. I’ll call 8–10 people, and can usually assemble a table of people in about half an hour.

Really sorry about the photo quality here, the Blackberry Pearl doesn’t do so well indoors. But here are some photos of the good folks I met:

Where did you eat when you were in Chicago. I was up there a month ago for AdobeMAX. Many good places to eat.

Look me up if you’re ever in Orlando.

These dinners look really fun. And not just because you’re picking up the tab! :)
