These are inside sales positions and we are looking for outgoing people with around 2 years of sales experience. doesn't really matter what you have been selling.

Jeb Banner Thoughts on Compendium Blogware

I'm asked on a regular basis what I think of Compendium. I decided it made sense to post a blog with my thoughts based on research and discussions with others in the SEO biz. Bottom line- Compendium is exploiting an opening in Google's algorithm that could close at any time. I also noted my ideas on how to keep the platform viable if Google does make the changes I think they eventually will, which would punish many of Compendium's blogs. Here is a link to the full post on Small Box:… Continue

Jess Wehner Happy Hour at the Symphony

A couple weeks ago some members of the Compendium team headed over to the Hilbert Cirlce Theater to attend Happy Hour at the Symphony. We enjoyed appetizers from downtown vendors such as Vitos and Oceanair and had a couple free cocktails prior to the start of the symphony. My favorite appetizers were the oysters provided by Oceanair. And when I say favorite, I don’t mean because I enjoyed them! They were mostly my favorite because it was my first t… Continue

Chris Baggott Thank you Nicki Laycoax!

I want to shout out and thank Nicki, honestly one of the most prolific and helpful members of this community.

Douglas Karr More Time with You, My Family, and My Passion

This still isn't public knowledge but the news is starting to get out so I thought I'd share it with the folks who know me best! I've accepted a VP position with Compendium Blogware and start in 2 weeks! The move is a great one for me personally. It puts me much closer to home, frees up some hours, provides the family with benefits, and will allow me to work full time on my passion - helping businesses blog. My appreciation and respect for Patronpath has not died, though. It's an incre… Continue

Chris Baggott WWSD? (What would Seth do?)

Many of you know that I'm kind of a freak for Seth Godin. Permission Marketing inspired me to start emailing and Co-found ExactTarget. I've pounded on bongos in the loft in Dobbs Ferry and it was Seth who first got me started on blogging and inspired me to write my book. The thing is that Seth is easy to follow. His message is simple, ethical and most of all True. We built Compendium around what we believe to be the principles he would advocate (although, Martin Luther thought that too, LOL)… Continue

Chris Baggott Is there a difference between blogging within a Company vs. within a Community?

Pat Coyle posed this question to me: I wonder if you'd share with us your thoughts on blogging inside Smaller Indiana? Seems to me that blogging inside a community has some similar dynamics as corporate blogging, but community opens up other cans of worms, no? Both Corporate and Community blogs share many of the same characteristics. You have to be honest, you shouldn't be mean or defame anyone or anything. Both require a 'conversational/human' voice and the accepted societal rules asso… Continue

Chris Baggott Misconceptions about Blog Content

I'm totally lifting this paragraph from a comment I saw posted by Scott Henderson of Mediasauce about Corporate Blog Content and who should write....I promise I will send him a link: "..Another big challenge is the misperception of how to blog. It’s not lengthy white papers, stilted memorandums, and corporate speak, but needs to be more akin to engaging coffee house/cocktail party conversation The savvy corporations tap people who are great minglers and conversa… Continue

Chris Baggott George Costanza Understands How To Make A Successful Business Blog

Too many people worry about content posts for business blogs. Business people have a tendancy to overthink every word to a point that it stymies them to the point of infrequency. Frequency is the most important component in Corporate Blogging. This isn't a place for articles or whitepapers. Short, sweet authentic anecdotes about things that are happening in your business, with your customers, success, missteps...all this is what makes great corporate blog content. Thanks to… Continue

Chris Baggott WordPress is Easy???

There are a lot of parallels to compare Corporate Blogging today to where Email Marketing was 5 or 6 years ago. Back then, Email Marketing was free. All you had to do was download a ListServ application, configure a server or two, find and manipulate some plug-in applications for registration or bounces or unsubscribes or de-duplication or throttling or opens & clickthrough tracking or analytics.....and the list goes on. In the end, some geeks might have loved all this tinkering, but from a… Continue

Chris Baggott Is there such a thing as Dumb Money?

I had a comment on a post I made today that I thought warranted further exploration. The comment: PPM are a great tool. I think the problem for most small business folks isn't the tool debt vs. equity. I think they seem to struggle with the where they go to find the investors. I think this really is true for non tech/low growth business. For low tech, what you need a is a person that has the capital, the interest and that can be patient with their capital - nothing worst than dumb money… Continue
