MSP Experience

Well, finished up some solid appointments over the last 3 days. I also trust my follow-up conversations with clients will earn some good wins.

Getting laid up in ORD the other night really threw me off on sleep - so I did my best to get in early the last two nights after finishing up my client visits for some sleep - worked well. By this morning I was feeling much better - just in time to head back tot he West Coast. I will be heading back out to the South in a weeks time - NOLA - I trust the Mardi Gras partying will be long over and folks will be back to business.

Here are some shots of my Minnesota trip.


St. Johns University Bell Tower - massive cement structure.


An old house in Northfield, MN - hundreds of these, this one stood out to me.


Carleton College - Northfield, MN Bell Tower.

At this school, I found out the Financial Aid Administrator I met with plays the French Horn (as does my Boy Wonder). She had a few photos of herself and her horn, so it was only natural to talk a bit about that. Good rapport building so she enjoyed talking to me a little more regarding business as well.



For those of you that have heard of Malt-O-Meal - Northfield, MN is their headquarters. In the old days, Malt-O-Meal competed with companies like Quaker Oats for the hot breakfast market. They also sell those bulk bags of cereal and my favorite is Honey Buzzers (which is very similar to Honey Comb).

Well, I need to get into SalesForce and start logging my client visits and plan a follow-up to get them to use our product at their schools. So until next time, I'll see you in the air.

Mr. Smith
