Steve and Kris Berg Launch New Ubertor Website

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

San Diego Realtors Steve and Kris Berg have been clients of Ubertor since early 2006 and today they launched the latest version of their Ubertor website with the help of deBruyn Design. This is a great use of the flexibility of the Ubertor software and how it can be integrated with so many third party tools. Take a moment to check out their new website.

Here is what Kris had to say about the Ubertor product:

“Ubertor’s product was the first I found that offers the flexibility I desired. The sites are simple enough for the novice yet offer the more sophisticated user the tools required for full content control, such as access to code and the ability to add and edit pages and site navigation. Of course, your featured homes presentation software is among the best I have encountered.”
Kris Berg, Prudential California Realty San Digeo, California

Sociable!

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

sociable-the-book-4Shane Gibson and I have written a book called “Sociable – How social media and social networking are turning sales and marketing up-side down“. We wanted to write the book in 90 days, which we have, it is currently being edited and will be ready for distribution and sales in June.

Shane explains how this idea came up on his blog:

This book idea really began as a discussion shortly after I interviewed Stephen Jagger for my sales podcast on “Twitter and GrandCentral.com.” Then in January I shared with Steve my goal to write three more books this year and when the topic of Social Media for Sales People and Entrepreneurs came up we quickly decided that we should do it together. We will also be sharing with our readers how we have managed to write a book in 90 days at some point in the future.

If you are interested in pre registering for the book you can do that here. This website will be updated with more details shortly.
