I don’t remember which<\/a> productivity<\/a> or business<\/a> blog I was reading when I first learned about In Bubble Wrap<\/a>, but I have been visiting for the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

IBW<\/a> is like Woot<\/a> in that they offer a single product each day in a very limited quantity. The differences are 1) all the products are business-related, 2) the “winners” are chosen at random, and 3) all the products are free. Yes, FREE! It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s a unique way for the folks at 800-CEO-READ<\/a> to promote their site and products.<\/p>\n

Most of the daily offerings have looked intriguing, and I quickly developed the habit of checking the site and entering in the daily draw.<\/p>\n

I entered the contest on 11\/30, hoping to win a copy of Jackie Huba and Ben McConnell\u00e2\u0080\u0099s \u00e2\u0080\u009cCreating Customer Evangelists.\u00e2\u0080?<\/a> Well, I must have been overachieving that day, because I won the one-of-a-kind grand prize instead, a free visit from the authors themselves. Very cool. While the details haven\u00e2\u0080\u0099t yet been confirmed, Ben and Jackie are going to spend a day with all of us at Navigator sometime in Q1 or Q2 conversing about their experiences, our business, and the principles in their book. What a deal!<\/p>\n

So…<\/p>\n
