Know-How Exchange : Our Forum

1) Who provides the most practical answers and why?

Several people. Primarily Jim, Marcus, Andrew, Jerry, and myself. Why? Because we try to address the actual question without too much jargon, rather than flexing our marketing vocab and/or flying off on different tangents.


2) Who answers in the most 'User friendly' way on the KHE?

See above. I think of "user friendly" as synonymous with "practical".


3) Who do you think has the broadest base of 'useful' knowledge and why?

Again, several people. Most of whom are listed above. Why? Because we tend to prove it.


4) Who is the best specialist in:

a - Advertising/PR - Amanda Vega, Andrew
b - Branding - Jerry, Jett
c - Career/Training - Jim, Shelley
d - Copywriting - Frances, Michele
e - Customer Behavior - Most of us
f - Email Marketing - Tim, Amanda, Gary
g- Stragey - Most of us
h - Metrics/ROI - Andrew Scaife, Jerry
I - Student Ques. - All of us.

5) If you had to hire a KHE participant to help you, who would you be interested in and why? (For what Job? you can decide the job that you would use, just please tell it)

I have sub-contracted 70% of the top 25 for various projects based on their specialty.

6) Who would you rank as the 'wisest' person on the KHE? (not neccesarily the most knowledgeable)

If I had to pick one...it would be a coin toss between Jim and Marcus. But again, I think many of us possess a certain level of "wisdom".

7) Who would you rank as the most 'humble' person on the KHE?

Nobody. We all have our ego-centric quirks. I have seen every "expert", lash out in some kind of fashion that could be perceived as conceit.

8) Who is your favorite expert? Why?

Jim. See the other question you mentioned.

9) What are the qualities that you dislike the most in an answer? (who provides these?)

Not answering the question and/or telling the person what they "should" have asked.


10) What are the qualities that you like most in an answer? (Who provides these?)

Practicality, competence, and relavence.


I hope that helps!

Kwinters, (you're the greatest)

1) Who provides the most practical answers and why?

As a general rule whenever I read Jbtron's, Jett's, Mbarbers, Jim and Kwinters answers they seem to all have a pretty good practical approach.

2) Who answers in the most 'User friendly' way on the KHE?

I think Jbtron does.

3) Who do you think has the broadest base of 'useful' knowledge and why?

It appears a toss up between Jim and Jett based on the answers they give but I would really like to do an IQ and EQ test on them both to resolve the tie. As they say in marketing test it, test it, test it.

4) Who is the best specialist in:

a - Advertising/PR
b - Branding>>>>>>>>>>>>>>JBtron
c - Career/Training
d - Copywriting
e - Customer Behavior>>>>>>>>Pepper Blue
f - Email Marketing
g- Strategy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jett
h - Metrics/ROI
I - Student Ques.>>>>>>>>>>>Jett

Having only participated in the forum for about three weeks I don't have enough knowlege to answer this one completely.

5) If you had to hire a KHE participant to help you, who would you be interested in and why? (For what Job? you can decide the job that you would use, just please tell it)

It would be Jbtron (Branding), Pepper Blue (creating customer loyalty), Jett (To help me reach culturally diverse markets) and Kwinters (to work with me proofing a book).

6) Who would you rank as the 'wisest' person on the KHE? (not neccesarily the most knowledgeable)

GOD (now watch somebody try to bump him into second)

7) Who would you rank as the most 'humble' person on the KHE?

From what I've seen Michelle.

8) Who is your favorite expert? Why?

King Winters I just truly enjoy your overall contribution and participation.

9) What are the qualities that you dislike the most in an answer? (who provides these?)

When the answer is short and harsh even a good response loses it's value.

10) What are the qualities that you like most in an answer? (Who provides these?)

When the answer comes across with good thought, content and is well spoken. Especially when you know the expert is sharing from their heart and life experience.

Is there anything else I can do for you Kwinters?

Your Servant, Deremiah, *CPE

Kevin, I had trouble singling out people for each of your questions. I tried, really I did. And I wanted to "find" spots to place some of my favorite experts (ChrisB, aosterday, JBtron, Jett), but I wimped out.

1) Michele and Jim Deveau provide the most practical answers... because they can't help it, I guess.

2) Marcus (mbarber) and Gary (Vevolution) answer in the most 'User friendly' way... great advice, clear thinking, and their personalities and graciousness are revealed in the way they communicate.

3) Jim Deveau has demonstrated several hundred times that he has the broadest base of 'useful' knowledge. I slurp up what he writes.

4) Tim Pepper is obviously Da Best in email marketing. As for the other categories, I won't try to crown experts, partly because the definitions are too fuzzy for askers to post questions in the "right" place.

5) If I had to hire a KHE participant... I would be interested in Gerardo because he knows the cellular market, and my company's product works on cell phones and the Internet. (Too bad he's not for hire!) He has also demonstrated his marketing genius and experience on the forum... way back when he had time to participate more. ;]

6) Lately it seems that Val is the 'wisest' person on the KHE. She has artfully handled some complicated and unpleasant messes here, and she shows grace and integrity in all of her communications. Good qualities for a moderator!

7) Kevin (kwinters) and Gary (Vevolution) are the most 'humble' experts because they not only provide frequent responses, they use their own experiences in their answers.

8) Marcus is my favorite expert. He drives a nice car and cooks a mean lasagna.

9) I dislike answers that simply repeat what others have already responded. It's okay to say "I agree with so-and-so's point about..." to reinforce something, but to respond as if you haven't read the thread at all seems like laziness. (I can't attribute that behavior to any particular member, though.) Also, I do enjoy and appreciate responses that contradict other experts, but NOT when they're venomous.

10) I like answers that are original, creative, and clearly written. Who does this? See the list to your right.

hi,

for 2000 point i will give it ago let see:

1)i think Jbtron's, Jett's, Mbarbers,Pepper Blue and The Consultant (but i havent seen anything form him lately, has he left the website?)answers are good. They seem to all have way of putting it so i can understand.

2) the most User friendly hummm that is a hard one, because most people are good at providing enough info and help. But if I have to chose I will say Deremiah, *CPE

3) jett and the consultant

4) A-
B- JBtron
C-
D-
E- Pepper Blue
F-
G- Jett, quite a few people would fit in this slot nicely
H-
I- Jett

5) I have NO idea, if I was in charge……… god help the world

6) the person how came up with the idea for this forum

7) ME!!!!!!!!! of course

8) it is a tie between so many people: jett, jbthon, mbarber, jim deveau/Catalyst, pepper blue, Sharon (research), aosterday, peter (helpUhire), telemoxie, cal, just to name a few

9) when they are harsh, or the answer is very very long eg two or more screens (but they are useful, I am just lazy and cant be bothered reading the thing properly, I think it has some thing to do with tv )


10) the answer is useful, easy to read, the right length not to long but not to short either.

hope this helps
