I'm off on the morrow to Sunnyvale, California.

On Saturday afternoon I'm delivering a presentation to the Board of mid-sized American I.T. corporation.

If they choose our stuff, that could mean the doubling of my workforce, right here in Saskatchewan, CANADA. I'm talking 10-15 GOOD new jobs, with full benefits and profit-sharing. Maybe more. None of my production is, or will be, outsourced to India or China.

I know it's a drop in the bucket, compared to the 11,000 B.C. public service workers sacked this morning, but I'm doing all I can.

Wish me luck...

From what I read, I hope your sales pitch doesn't advertise the fact that you are from Canada. My company (well, former company) had a small office located in the U.S. for only one particular reason that I'm aware of: an American mailing address.
