Wow, it’s been almost an entire month since my last post!  Things have been really busy trying to wrap up a consulting engagement, starting a new one, getting ready for the Holidays, trying to finish a few internal projects, and studying to officially become a professional engineer.  I took the test last Saturday and it went well.  Now I only have to wait a few months before they finish grading it and call my references.

Now that “I’m back”, I’ll start blogging regularly once again.  Also, I’ll be in Philadelphia for the next few months if you’d like to connect in person.

In my constant search for innovative and bleeding edge social media enhancements to this blog (ahem, I know I’m quite late to jump on this bandwagon), I finally created an account for LeapComp on Twitter.

I’m still not convinced it will actually be very beneficial or successful, but at the very least it will be an interesting social media experiment.

So, go on, prove me wrong and follow LeapComp on Twitter.

Happy New Year and 2009 Resolutions

I decided to make a few changes to LeapComp for the New Year. If you have been visiting for a while, you might have noticed these changes already:

  • I added a “Quick Links” section on the right. This section features many SPM vendors, and others that are currently missing will be joining them soon.
  • I also added a “Resource Center”, accessible from the top menu and from the quick links section. This resource center currently includes information and reviews from various vendors, but I will use it to better organize relevant posts, and also other information external to my blog.
  • Finally, I added a banner at the top of every section on LeapComp. There are many expenses related to maintaining an independent blog and I’m hoping to cover these costs through advertising – not to mention the small incentive to keep writing frequently. (Sorry!)

I’ve been thinking about adding some personal New Year resolutions here, but if I write them down, I’ll feel even guiltier when I end up breaking them. So instead, I will conclude this last post of the year with some ideas for YOUR New Year resolution list:

  • Subscribe to this LeapComp via a reader or by e-mail. Alternatively, Bookmark this blog and visit at least once a week.
  • Share this blog with at least 5 people, with ideally 2 of them working at a different company.
  • Leave at least one comment per month.
  • Send me an e-mail to say hello and to introduce yourself.

So get started to a happy and prosperous New Year!

LeapComp is celebrating its first year!  Time just flew by since I first decided to blog and it has been a great ride so far.

December 17, 2007: Launch of my blog at compensationexpert.blogspot.com
December 21, 2007: First post “What is Incentive, Compensation and Sales Performance Management
December 23, 2007: I received an e-mail from my first reader
April 29, 2008: After four months of “double digit growth”, break the barrier of 1000 unique visitors within a month
May 17, 2008: 100 articles milestone!
August 10, 2008: Transferred blog from blogspot to its own domain – leapcomp.com
September 15, 2008:Google “PageRank” (measuring the importance of a website) upgraded to 5, the same ranking as Callidus and Varicent, and beating other vendors such as Centive and Xactly
September 22, 2008: After several various designs, LeapComp receives its current look and logo
October 1, 2008: Most popular post “Come on SPM Vendors… Grow up!” receives 20 votes, 18 comments, and over 8000 hits during October
December 17, 2008: Currently 143 published posts, and many other drafts waiting to be published in 2009, with a readership which has been increasing quickly quarter after quarter
A year ago I was wondering if I’d have enough ideas to write for an entire year.  A year later I’m realizing that I just scratched the surface of the topic and I believe you will find many more exciting articles in 2009.

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has provided me with valuable feedback, to my fellow bloggers and SPM companies who have been linking to LeapComp, and most importantly to my readers who have found LeapComp to be a valuable source of independent information on sales performance management.

Happy Holidays!
