Improving the Usability of your Pricing
In: Marketing| Productivity| Technology
5 Apr 2009Our Creative Director at SpinWeb, Rob Alan, sent me this blog post today that I absolutely loved:
Is there a better way for you to price your product? – (37signals).
I was very happy to see it because it validates something we’ve been doing for the past year – improving the usability of our pricing.
As an interactive [...]

Favorite Ubiquitous Capture Tools
In: Productivity
22 Mar 2009As many of you know, I’m a productivity junkie (I happily drink the GTD Kool-Aid) and love to tweak and improve my personal productivity system. In the course of doing this, I’ve settled on a few great tools that assist me with ubiquitous capture. This allows me to capture and retain ideas, actions, and concepts [...]

Interested in Feedback? Keep Your Surveys Short.
In: Design| Productivity| Technology
11 Mar 2009As a member of a number of associations and networking groups, I receive a lot of surveys. It always amazes me how long and cumbersome most of these surveys are. Inevitably they will be multi-page monsters that require me to type things in and fill in blanks. 99% of the time these surveys end up [...]

Be Efficient by Re-using Your Content
In: Marketing| Productivity| Technology
4 Mar 2009With all the different mediums available to us today, it can be an overwhelming task to try to keep up. For this reason, I recommend writing content that you can re-use. When blogging, for example, use the same post in your blog, your email newsletter, your Smaller Indiana blog, your Facebook note, and send a [...]
Do, or do not. There is no try
In: Lifestyle| Productivity
3 Mar 2009Those of us old enough to have grown up watching Star Wars will instantly recognize the immortal words of Yoda:
“Do, or do not. There is no try.”
Not only is this good advice for a young Jedi, but a worthy philosophy by which to live – especially in business. I am becoming more and more convinced [...]
The Zen of Customer Service: Ruby Receptionists
In: Productivity| Technology
2 Mar 2009Every so often I encounter a service provider that makes me so happy that I become an evangelist for the company. Apple comes to mind as my most prominent example. However, today I would like to sing the praises of Ruby Receptionists. At SpinWeb, we subscribe to Ruby Receptionists in order to create a better [...]

Breaking Free of PowerPoint?
In: Marketing| Productivity| Technology
22 Feb 2009As I do more and more workshops on topics related to technology, marketing, productivity, and social media, I’m constantly fine-tuning my presentation format. I’ve noticed that the default presentation format seems to be a PowerPoint presentation, or in my case a Keynote presentation because I love my Mac. However, I’ve been playing around more and [...]
Slow Blogging
In: Lifestyle| Marketing| Productivity| Technology
28 Jan 2009I came across this posting today on LDS Media Talk describing “Slow Blogging”…
Slow Blogging | LDS Media Talk.
After reading this I was happy to discover that I’m already doing something that is “catching on”. I tend to write new posts infrequently (maybe once every 1-2 weeks or even longer) and I agonize over whether to [...]

Notice: The IT Department Does Not Handle Your Web Site
In: Design| Marketing| Productivity| Technology
27 Dec 2008As I work with companies to create or update their new web sites, I frequently encounter a misconception that I find puzzling. It seems that many companies are of the mindset that their IT departments should be 100% in charge of their web site. Not so… in fact, Marketing should be the group overseeing or [...]
