What do John Chow, Travis Ketchum and HasOffers Have in Common?

This past weekend I hauled my self from Arizona to Seattle WA to meet the fine folks at HasOffers. Travis Ketchum and John Chow put on a great little party/networking event at the HasOffers HQ.

Now a little backstory for you. I was introduced to the HasOffers affiliate marketing management platform in 2010 by Jeremy Schoemaker ( a.k.a ShoeMoney ) and Gillian Muessig from SEOMoz.

I started using the HasOffers platform in December of 2010 simply because it came with a shinning recommendation from Jeremy. With imSMB we were using iDevAffiliate and after seeing what could be done with HasOffers ( Thank you Jeremy for the screencast ) we switched over immediately.

I can truly say that without HasOffers we would never have been able to manage our affiliate program ( or Shoe’s volume, man he knows how to drive sales ). More important than the ability to handle a massive number of affiliate transactions, we were able to track each sale down with ninja like efficiency.

Now, where were we? Oh yea, so after a brisk walk from my hotel room near the space needle and arriving at the Venom bar ( HasOffers Loft ) I met Patrick, who gave a great tour of the OfferPlex. The office space is really open, and the lunch room is well… flat out awesome. Xbox 360 ( with Kinect ), couches, a pool table, some foosball and flat panels everywhere you look. A breeding ground for creativity.

Here are some of the people I had a chance to have meaningful conversations with (in no particular order )

Travis Ketchum – (Young, Bright, Honest and someone to watch ) MyBiggive.com and GroupRound
Brandon Na -( Humble Internet Marketer ) – Seattle Organic SEO
John Chow – Nuff said ( seriously a nice guy, very genuine )
Adrianna O’ Dell – from Social Cloud
Dude, sorry I forget your name – but cool website – DrHeckle.com
Eric Ogden – Outer Escape

*If we met and I misplaced your biz card – please email me.

So, What do John Chow, Travis Ketchum and HasOffers Have in Common?

Jeremy Schoemaker is the answer, if I had never met Neil Patel who introduced me to Jeremy quite a few years ago; I would not have had the pleasure of meeting these people. So big round of applause and a thank you go out to Shoe!

So till the next post all I have to say is at the HasOffers office’s “the Xbox 360 just really ties that lunch room together man”.
