B2B Lead Generation Blog Nominated for MarketingSherpa's 2005 Readers' Choice Blog Awards

Thank you for nominating the B2B Lead Generation Blog for MarketingSherpa’s 2005 Readers’ Choice Award!  It is a honor just to be nominated.  Be sure to check out the other quality blogs that were nominated by MarketingSherpa’s 185,000+ Readers, many of them are already on my blogroll.

If you’re time crunched, you can vote for your favorite category.  I’m listed in the "B-to-B marketing blogs" section.  Fellow Revenue Roundtable member, Mike McLaughlin’s Blog, Guerrilla Consulting was also nominated in the same category.  If I merit your vote, please let them know. 

Cast your votes

Guidelines per MarketingSherpa:

If your time is limited, just pick your favorite category and rate each blog in that area. Winning blogs will get publicity, hotlinks, coffee-mugs, and an icon. Please take the following 5 factors into consideration for your ratings…

#1. Personality:
Is there a clear personality? Do you feel like you know the writer(s)? Is there a feeling of intimacy that may be missing from mainstream media?

#2. Usefulness:
Is the information either darned useful or very enjoyable to read? Did it make you think, or laugh, or click? Are there handy links to other places?

#3. Writing style:
Is it a sales pitch badly disguised as a Blog? Is it a long-winded column instead of a quick Blog? Is it just news briefs without analysis or insight?

#4. Usability & design:
Is the typeface easy to read? Can you find links to archives? Is the writing concise and skimmable? Are graphics useful?

#5. Would you revisit?:
Is it useful or engaging enough for you to visit it again someday? Or will you forget it the minute after you vote?

And, yes there is a write-in vote if you’d like to add a qualified Blog that our readers overlooked.

    You got my vote. I’ve tried a lot of the other blogs, but yours is the only the blog I consistently read.

    It’s my number one reference point for the complex sale. Great work, I look forward to reading the book.
