Good Company Plug: Meeting Tomorrow

09 Aug 2004 by Jason Fried

So, every few months we hold these free 1-hour training workshops for Basecamp. And, since we don’t own a projector, we have to rent one each time. Yeah, it would probably make sense for us to buy one, but that’s another story for another day. Anyhow, we’ve been renting from Meeting Tomorrow and they’ve been great. However, this morning we had a problem.

FedEx said they attempted a delivery, but we don’t remember them knocking. Anyhow, we didn’t get our projector by 10:30 as was promised. So, instead of me calling Meeting Tomorrow to find out what was up, Meeting Tomorrow called us to confirm that we didn’t receive our projector by 10:30 (they had been checking the FedEx tracking info). Then they immediately went to work to find out what happened with FedEx, etc.

A few back and forth calls later, Meeting Tomorrow had had enough with FedEx and decided to personally deliver the projector themselves. Sure, we’re in Chicago and they are in Chicago so it wasn’t that much of a stretch, but let me tell you — it was hugely appreciated. And, sure enough, even though Meeting Tomorrow had delivered the projector, FedEx came knocking with their delivery 5 minutes before the session was supposed to start so we had two projectors on hand.

So, if you need a projector tomorrow, definitely give Meeting Tomorrow a call. Their projectors even come with a couple of breath mints just in case. Nice touch, guys.
