SAGE PREZ CIRCLE GETS A DINNER

president_s_circleIt’s hard to avoid consultant Wayne Schulz’s quip of two years ago that Sage North America would cut its President’s Circle event down to dinner and a movie instead of taking winners to some exotic locale.  It’s close to the truth for the plans for this August’s awards at the Summit conference.

Only they won’t get a movie when they arrive at the conference at the Gaylord Kafka, excuse me, Gaylord Opryland. (You don’t need this explained if you’ve been there.) Members and their guests get Sunday night free at the hotel and free transportation. They will be taken to a big dinner meet and greet with Sage executives at the Grand Ole Opry Studio A, which the company memo notes was the home of the television show “Hee Haw.” Personally, I’d trade it for a ticket to Ryman Auditorium faster than you can say “Minnie Pearl.” And they get to hear CEO Pascal Houillon wish them “Bon sois, y’all.” Well, they get to have dinner there if they can find their way out of the hotel. Local bookmakers have odds for that. If Sage makes any more changes, there’s probably an opportunity for a concession for sales of pitchforks and torches to the channel. I noted from the Opry website that “Hee Haw” lasted from 1969-1992. Boy, it sure seemed like it was a lot longer than that. A lot longer.
