MIA DAve?

Is dave MIA? I subscribe to his podcasts and haven't seen anything come through the pipeline.

I haven't seen him post here either.

Did dave go out of business? Dave you need one of us distributors to promote your business ?

Re: MIA DAve?

I am assuming you are referring to David Blaise. I have received emails from him all this week leading up to PPAI. I believe he is holding training seminars there.

Re: MIA DAve?

Thanks for your concern, Derek. But on May 18, 2009 you requested to be removed from all our mailings -- which we did. As a result, you have not heard from us. So we've really only gone out of business as far as you're concerned. I have certainly not lost interest in reaching those who are still interested in being reached.

I guess I have been MIA to anyone who has managed to miss each of my weekly newsletters, monthly teleconferences, webinars, personal surveys, promotional mailings, audios, videos and live trainings at every major industry tradeshow so far this year. To everyone else, I've been fairly visible...

In fairness, I have not been active recently on DT, but now that my travel schedule is lightening up a bit, I'll make it a point to be more active here as well. I certainly don't want people to think I'm MIA!

Best regards,

David Blaise

Re: MIA DAve?

Dave, I did unsubscribe no doubt. The MIA point was here on DT and also according to ITUNES, which I subscribe to, there isn't a new podcast since November 09.

I just went there this am to confirm it as I update regularly. Perhaps Apple thinks you are MIA too.

Be well, keep up the great work.

Derek

Re: MIA DAve?

Derek,

Thanks for the heads-up regarding iTunes. Appears to have been a coding error in the RSS feed.

Podcasts are now current through February 22, 2010.

They may also be accessed via web browser at:

http://www.topsecretswebsite.com/topsecrets.xml

Best,

David Blaise

David,
Perhaps you should send Derek a birthday card or something once a year just to let him know that you are still in business and not MIA.

Re: MIA DAve?

Actually, I really do appreciate the heads-up. As marketers, I imagine we all may sometimes think we're more visible in the marketplace than we actually are... It's good to have a reminder when we're perceived to be MIA among any segment of the market.

Re: MIA DAve?

I'm glad that Derek brought this up, so that I could go check on podcasts from David.

David, in the iTunes store, if I search for your podcasts, the resulting list from Top Secrets lists only 79 episodes, the latest dated 2009-11-13. Perhaps Apple's store will take longer to get the fix/update?

I know you pointed us to another link on your site, but thought you should know that perhaps the store isn't yet fixed or updated.

Re: MIA DAve?

The store always takes longer to update than the actual podcast. If you subscribe to the podcast via iTunes and click "Update Podcast" they're all there...

David is right. They are all there under his podcast for me. Searching itunes just doesn't show them yet.

Re: MIA DAve?

That was one of my points before Dave used sarcasm at me unsubscribing to his email blasts.

I do enjoy the podcasts, and just thought he stopped doing them figured for whatever reason.

Glad that the next time I sync my IPOD I will have some fresh Top Secretes, even if fresh is from December, it is still fresh to me.

David,

Great to see you in San Diego.

This is a golden nugget, much like you mine out for others all the time and allow to shine for continued learning . . . .

I think that it's always important to continue to survey and communicate with your customers to ensure that which ever methods you are investing in, are the ones that your advocates are engaging into.

Something I learned from working with some Microsoft engagement gurus 15 years ago, when as a distributor at the time we were helping them brand some of their innitiatives.

Thanks again for all of the ways you make your golden nuggets available for all of us David!

Dave,

I did not see any podcasts from you on Zune, do you put them there or are you going to be doing it in the future?
