And the winner is ... another company won the "Innovations" award at the DSA conference for a brand bus they used to crisscross the nation in support of their representatives. Which is ironic, for reasons that will soon become apparent. I'm Read More...

Another day comes to an end in Prague and this one was quite rewarding actually. I will be the first to admit that I was very uncertain about unleashing on my communications peers from around the world a panel of IBO bloggers who have varied histories Read More...

Today Quixtar announced 2007 sales of $1.07 billion, down a tad from the previous year's sales of $1.12 billion. Given the amount of change and turmoil experienced, I was encouraged by these results! I've already seen some of the initial reactions Read More...

It's great to finally have Lynn here in the Zone with her Beta Mom blog . She doesn't give herself enough credit to be an Alpha Mom, but that's what makes her so great -- humbleness and self deprecation. Kinda like Kathy Griffin whose cable Read More...

Happy Birthday O'zoners, and congratulations on a great first year! I just read David Prescott's musings in Code Review and have to agree, it does seem like much longer than a year for the Opportunity Zone. Well, for me that's especially true Read More...

Do you have a Google alert set up for your name? I do. No, it's not vanity (well, maybe a little). But if my name does appear in another blog or in a news piece, it's work-related and I want to see what others are saying about me, just like I Read More...

In the past I've written about editors here at the REAL Quixtar Blog. Today I'm calling out the Interns. As I was driving in I was thinking about them, particularly since they have taken on a larger workload in the absence of Anna. Shannon, Charlotte Read More...

Check out the most recent issue of Direct Selling News for an article ( Social Media: Word of Mouth in the Digital Age ) that features the Opportunity Zone, based on interviews of Beth Dornan and myself. Of course, I think it's wonderful because we're Read More...

No, I'm not jumping the gun and skipping all of fall to go straight to winter. Actually, it's been in the 80s all this week, so snow and sleet are the last things on our minds here in Michigan. Actually, I'm posting about the "snowball" Read More...

Due to all the legal activities going on, we haven't been able to say too much here in the Opportunity Zone lately. There's lots I wish we could talk about, but we certainly wouldn't want to say or do things that hurt our legal position. Check Read More...

Within the walls of Quixtar (and beyond), some have mistakenly assumed that my role as Manager of the PR and Editorial groups makes me some sort of "chief editor" for the company. If my clumsy blog writing style hasn't already made this Read More...
