Bloggertone’s improved look

Dear Bloggertoners,

You may have noticed (actually I’m sure you’ve noticed but haven’t said anything) that Bloggertone looks a bit different since last Monday.

After about 3 months of life and very valuable feedback from all of you, some housekeeping was required. We have reworked the different sections and upgraded some functionalities with the goal of presenting this business blogging community more efficiently to you and the new different visitors.

Changes in the sections are pretty much self intuitive, but here’s a brief explanation:

The Old sections and the New sections

Growing sales is now Sales
Housekeeping

Managing money is now Finance

Marketing ideas is now Marketing

People matters and Talking Leadership are now Management

Transforming your business, Starting up and Work life balance are now part of Growth

Technology and Web 2.0 are now Technology

Going International is now  Global

What’s happening is now Announcements…

Whithin all these new sections you will find respective categories. If you have a new post and cannot find a suitable category under the section, simply let us know and we’ll create one straight away.

With a little help of my friends…

To us all these changes are great but we have to mention a slight challenge:
All the url structure in the site has changed (no panic, we’ve done redirections not to loose Google juice). However this has affected the fact that the “tweet this” and “sugar this” buttons now do not reflect the tweets and the sugars for the older posts.

I know this affects our collective Bloggertone pride a little bit so I encourage you to:

  1. Tweet and sweet posts like lunatics!
  2. Keep your great posts coming!

The more posts, tweets and sugars the more the Bloggertone pride goes back to normality.

Thanks for your continuous support

Best

Facundo

    Thanks Facundo. Without you, bloggertone wouldn’t exist. Well done on all your efforts.

    Thanks Facundo. Looks much cleaner. Maybe a little section explaining Bizsugars, sweets, likes etc would be helpful for neophytes like myself.

    Hey Facundo, Thanks for the doing the post!

  • facundo

    Thanks! Will probably do up a video and there’s also some interesting stuff coming up next week so it’ll all be clearer and sweeter :)

  • http://www.btbtraining.com/blog Niall Devitt

    We should probably mention we have made room so that we have feature an additional 2 (6 altogether) posts on the home page :)

    Hi Niall. That would be great. I’m focusing on a deadline that will pass at the end of tomorrow, so I’ll be in touch later in the week.

    Along the same lines… I shared a house with the leading Car Salesperson (two years) for Chicago (about as competitive as it gets).nnOne of her u2018tricksu2019 was to talk to people as much as possible, and talk more, and more…nnShe knew her customers inside out. And even if they didnu2019t buy, theyu2019d send others to her because she was so helpful.nnMost sales people, donu2019t know how to listen. nnTheyu2019re in broadcast mode. nnThey need to flip it around. n

    How very true Tori. It amazed me when I was an Ann Summers Manager the amount of party organisers that didn’t target male customers. When I first started I didn’t drive and I’d always leave a brochure with every taxi driver I hired and developed many loyal customers in them. Everyone is a potential customer for most products and yes, developing that all important relationship is the first step, knowing your product definitely comes second, sales technique comes third, in my opinion. Great post.

    Thanks for your comments guys…nWhen concentration is put on sales technique I feel it creates a more pushy sales-person. All that will do is turn customers away.nAnd my male sales agents are doing well ;-) nnThanks to ye all for taking time to comment.

    Hi TorinnCustomer before product everytime (provided that the product delivers of course!). nnOften the argument is made that you cannot create a great product without the sales first to pay for development (especially in the services business). But I have seen when product or service development has not happened properly before it was sold to an unsuspecting public. nnThis is a disaster, hence the comment above that the product needs to do what it says when purchased!nnRegardsnBarney

    If I was selling cosmetics, why would I not consider men? There is a market for every product and service out there, otherwise it would not be thought of :) nnIn the same light, there is product for every person, and a person for every product. But only the person can dictate the product they prefer (aside from obvious advertising cajoling).nnIt is possible to sell to people who never considered a product, create a market that was not previously there. it’s the thought process and techniques used then, that will dictate success, I feel.nnGreat post Tori, thanks for highlighting the importance of the WIIFT, when attempting to sell :)
