The things we'll do for customers...

At Sonoma Partners, we pride ourselves on always going the extra mile for our customers to make sure the project gets done right. To take it even one step further, we frequently go to great lengths (pun intended) for our PROSPECTS too!

Yesterday, Jim and I flew from Chicago to a remote city in southern Colorado to meet with a large Microsoft CRM prospect. Flying to Denver is no problem, we do it frequently because we have a great customer there. However to meet with this particular prospect we had to fly to to Denver and then take a second flight on a TINY plane to get to our destination.

As you can see, this was a small plane. The inside of the plane was even tighter. Here's a shot of Jim (who's pretty tall) trying to access something in the overhead bin!

Despite a few bumps, the ride was pretty smooth and we arrived safe and sound. Even better, we had a great meeting with the prospect and we're very excited about their project. You can tell pretty quickly when you're meeting with a customer if they will be fun to work with, and this prospect definitely seemed like a great fit for us. Hopefully we'll win the gig!

In addition to a fun break from the normal travel experience, the plane ride did offer some pretty amazing views of the mountains.
