Things Are Changing!

It’s a brand new year and we are changing some things at the site.  The biggest piece is the launch of Partners In EXCELLENCE Radio!

Well, technically, it’s a podcast series, but I’ve always had this secret dream to be a radio DJ, so here’s my chance.  A confession, I’ve always disliked how I sound–the Midwestern drawl, the occasional stutter, and the slight monotone.  But hang in there, I’ll get better!  What’s most important, I hope,  is the content.

We’re trying to introduce some special features in the Podcast, I’ll be rolling them out over the next few months.  But already we have a few:

Expert Interviews!  The blog has primarily focused on my thoughts and ideas about sales, marketing, and business.  But every day, I have fascinating conversations with people that are just plain smarter than me.  I’ll be recording them and offering them on the Podcast.  Right now, thanks to the folks at DocuSign, I’m able to rebroadcast my interview of Chris Locke on The Yin and Yang Of Selling.  It was a great discussion about the perspective of Procurement professionals on Sales and Sales People.

Questions And Answers Radio!  I’m looking for your active involvement and questions–and I’ll do my best to answer them.  Toward the end of every month, one Podcast will be dedicated to answering your questions.  Plus, they will be a great source of ideas for new Podcasts and Blog Posts!  Start sending in your questions by going to our Questions And Answers Form.

I’ll be adding more capabilities to Partners In EXCELLENCE Radio soon.  The Podcast Series will be available soon on ITunes, but for the moment you can go to our Radio Page on this site, go to our Dedicated Podcast Site, or Subscribe to get new podcasts automatically delivered.

Finally, you’ll notice in the sidebar, a miniplayer, with our most recent broadcasts.

I hope you enjoy these, I look forward to your participation, comments, and feedback.

Also, stay tuned for Partners In EXCELLENCE TV:  Some of you have also discovered our YouTube Channel along with many of my OpenView Labs videos..  The YouTube Channel has  actually been up for some time, I’m still experimenting with it—I’m even more self conscious of my “camera” presence than my “vocal” presence.  In spite of that, we’ll be expanding our use of video quite a bit in 2013 and will be adding a dedicated location for our videos.  In the meantime, follow the links!

My goal is to provide a variety of types of content—the blog, the Radio/Podcasts, and Video.

I hope you enjoy these additions to our Partners In EXCELLENCE-Making A Difference Platforms!
