ECMTA Las Vegas Conference April 13-15, 2010

The week has literally flown by! I can't believe it is already Thursday. Ever single day the intentions to sit down to post some of the events have been there, but the time has just escaped.

Phaedra and I bluepennylady met for the very first time on Monday night. Most people did not know that Phaedra and I have worked together on multiple projects including the Bonanzle Boardroom and podcast ...And we got to meet, very first time Monday night ! Very exciting for both of us.

Tuesday our agenda was full with meet-ups with other Bonanzle sellers. Wow, what an experience.

We had lunch with Bonanzle's own baby daddy Bill Harding
. that was totally fun and very enlightening.

So let me embrass Bill to death. I found Bill to be extremely gracious. Not that I expected to find him any other way. Very well spoken and considerate. He is a gentleman. You know,the kind of man that waits for ladies to walk through the door, holds the door open, offers to carry your laptop bag....that kind of man. Which in today's society isn't something you see everyday.

He doesn't miss anything. Even the most random comment. If something pricks his interest, you can see the wheels turning immediately.

I can also say definitively that Bill is constantly looking for ways to improve the Bonanzle site, For sellers and buyers alike. IT isn't just lip service like some people (or sites), it is a true and sincere desire to give the sellers tools/features/functions/exposure they need to succeed while providing the very best buying experience for the buyers.

I was impressed (like that matters :)

More info to come later. After I unwind it from my brain..

Bonanzle Announces an Addition to Tech Support Team

Bonanzle is growing at such a rapid pace. And as the user base expands so does the demand for support. In answer to the increasing user, Bill announced March 12, 2010a new addition to the Bonanzle tech team, Elizabeth of ANightOwl

Elizabeth joined Bonanzle October of 2008 and is very active on the Bonanzle forums as well as running a successful Bonanzle booth.

According to Bill,

"Elizabeth's initial responsibilities will be helping to approve and improve our item traits, monitoring and enforcing payments, and keeping an eye on site help comments and images submitted for the category page. We also plan to have her dabble in support and other community maintenance tasks as needed."

Elizabeth will start out part-time as Tom did.. Yeah right! With the rapidly increasing Bonanzle user base, I suspect Elizabeth will quickly be seen frequently in the "support" role. So start sending in those emails to see if you can catch one with Elizabeths' name!

A hearty congratulations to you Elizabeth!! No wonder you were walking around for days smiling. what a honor indeed! Welcome aboard!
