The event is a Congress of about 3,000 people. All are from SMEs/Small and Medium-sized firms. The event is sponsored by Banamex, to launch a major initiative in support of the SMEs; in Mexico, as elsewhere, these firms are the engines of national economic growth and job creation.

"This scratches one of my great itches," Tom says. "'We 'gurus' have systematically neglected these firms—to our everlasting discredit. This is part of my vigorous campaign to atone for previous sins."

He is speaking to the Target Markets Program Administrators Association. These are the mostly independent administrators/quarterbacks for specialty insurance products—for school districts, construction companies, etc. As he says, "I'm in hog heaven—I believe wholeheartedly in the power of modest-sized specialists to dominate their niche. The Great German Export Engine, the 'Mittelstand,' which I have studied in depth, consists of excellent mid-sized specialists, described by one expert as 'agile creatures darting between the legs of multi-national monsters.'

He's addressing the National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies at Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, outside of Dallas in Grapevine, TX. He's been in the public presentation business/arena since 1977. In those 33 years, he figures he's walked on stage almost 3,000 times and logged about 5,000,000 miles in the process.

And as those who've seen him of late know, he loves the work as much or more than ever. Why keep going? His ready response: "There's a lot of unfinished business."
