One of the big reasons that I haven’t had as much time as I used to for this blog, is because of my 4th baby – my work blog. I started it 2 1/2 years ago, and I’ve been posting on it at least 3 times per week ever since. It has been very successful in reaching our customers and creating real relationships with them. This review of my blog that was posted on a building product marketing blog pretty much says it all.
Last week I found out that I won the IRST President’s Award in the Leadership category for my work blog. What’s most exciting about this is that the company is starting to see the value of social media and blogging. For a big, conservative company like ours, that’s progress.
I made a video of the announcement of the award on the president’s global webinar so I can keep it on the mantle and force the kids to watch it periodically. 🙂
Both of the presidents actually talked about my blog on the call, so here are both clips for posterity.
