Issue with the editor in the new IE 8

Katy Barrilleaux — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:58:01 GMT

We have discovered that the new IE 8 browser is not allowing any of our application's editor functions that require a pop-up window to work--like the hyperlink manager or the image manager. We are trying to fix the issue and should have it resolved soon. But in the meantime, please use another browser like Firefox or use IE 8 in compatibility mode.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll update this post once the issue is resolved. ;)

Lead Maverick is now Ecordia!

Katy Barrilleaux — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:09:01 GMT

We have begun the process of transitioning Lead Maverick to a new name: Ecordia.

Don't bother trying to look Ecordia up in the dictionary. It's not there. So I'll tell you what it means to us: Ecordia is just the right harmony of technology and nature -- perfect for the business of search engine optimization (SEO). But we believe Ecordia also has the flexibility to grow with us as we continue to grow our business.

Our website has been updated to reflect the new Ecordia branding. And our email addresses have changed to the new @ecordia.com. But it will take a while before we get all of our videos, documents and third-party websites updated to reflect the new branding. So please pardon our dust!

The one thing that is not immediately changing is the URL for our SEO platform. For now it will remain http://directory.leadmaverick.com. Our main priority is to continue to generate top organic search rankings so directory's move to Ecordia will take a little longer.

Everyone at Lead Maverick is very excited about the new Ecordia name. We'd love to hear what you think about Ecordia.

Finally they provide account service. Once a strategy has been implemented, it needs to be constantly refined. A key aspect of Lead Maverick is the inclusion of content over time. With tools like our real-time analysis the services of a Lead Maverick Partner can help you revise your implementation and develop new strategies based on the results achieved to date.

Does Lead Maverick Work?

Patrick Daly — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:32:23 GMT

Recently, we experienced something interesting that helps explain if Lead Maverick really works.
I, Sean Jackson, got a call from a person who had found our Directory site via a search engine and wanted to know more about it.

I gave her a 30-minute demo online and she began to ask me about pricing. I gave her the different price levels and also mentioned that we have a reseller program for marketing agencies.

At this point in the conversation, she got really excited and wanted to know a lot more about the reseller program. She asked for a kit and we have a meeting set.

So what is so unusual about this? Well...let me explain. Every day we get leads for Lead Maverick from people who either try it for free or buy the product. These leads come mostly from search engines.

Our reseller program is sold primarily through relationships. This was the first time that we generated a qualified "reseller lead" through of the tool. In other words, we actually have used our own tool to generate a lead. Wow...image, we actually used Lead Maverick to create a lead.

Often, as the creator, I forget about the enormity of what we have created. I know Lead Maverick works because I hear and see stories of leads being generated. It is different when it happens to you.

So when people now ask "Does Lead Maverick work?" I can say that across all our product lines and for every type of sale, it works for us!

New Website Coming Real Soon!

Patrick Daly — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:23:13 GMT

Hey everyone, it's Patrick, the web designer here at Lead Maverick. We're getting ready to launch our new website. We're working out the final kinks and preparing for a few new things - including this brand new Updates account. Hmm.

Just to be clear - the new website isn't going to effect the directory or your landing pages. We're redesigning and reorganizing the main website. This is just the beginning.
