If you’ve not heard or seen anything about Triberr, you’ve been asleep, or just not circling in my circles. The Triberr founders are doing a bang up, and I mean bang up, job marketing their start up. In a recent Skype conversation with Dino Dogan, he told me they’re working hard and getting tired, but the fun is just beginning.
If you’ve been asleep, let me help you with some archived conversations on a variety of blogs. Some love Triberr, some don’t; others flip-flop and go back and still others are on the fence. This post really has nothing to do with that.
What I want to do here is recognize and deliver kudos to Dan Cristo and Dino Dogan for their business acumen.
*They launched a start up that was ill defined in the beginning and confusing for some.
*They took precious time to hear their critics and make changes to their app.
*Everyone who blogs gets a comment from one or both of them; everyone.
*Everyone who tweets with #Triberr or @Triberr in the 140 gets a response from one or both of them.
*When you least expect it, Dino is engaging tweeps and making hilarious sheep video with @DannyBrown and beating the +K Klout game.
Dino and Dan are everywhere; they live and breathe their brand; they are personifying their brand, and they’re recruiting new tweeps to come on board and try their product. And, you know what? It’s working.
These two guys today deserve entrepreneur of the year awards for their business acumen; for the diligence in marketing and branding they’re showing; for their dedication to their business and interest in making it perfect; for their openness to listening and improving their product; for their endless nights to make the green lights glitter.
I have no idea how well Triberr will fare in the future, but it really doesn’t matter. With these two go-getters at the helm, there’s no doubt in my book it’s already a success. Congrats, Guys, for being the visionaries you are and having fun while doing it. (Hey, Dino? Put the sword away.)
Hello my love 🙂
Im glad to see that you won the knife fight between you and @PegFitzpatrick:twitter #InsideJoke 🙂
So, first of all, thank you. Everything you said sounds amazing and Dan and I have a blast shaking things up with our peeps 🙂
And also, I want to thank you for bringing attention to a sheep. Sheep is a very important topic to @dannybrown:twitter and I, and we both appreciate you mentioning it 🙂
You guys rock hot. That. Is. All. Love all of it; love watching it; love being part of it! Engarde!
Hello,
I nicely called a truce as @soulati:disqus and I just met. Clearly, you @dino_dogan and @soulati are both trouble and I must get to know you both better.I am also a huge @Triberr fan and love the hard work that these two guys have put into it. Great post!
Uhmm, Peggy…has anyone ever suggested commenting etiquette to you? I think it’s very polite to address the blogger along with a reply to my honored guests here (that includes you)…so, in your roundabout way you did address me by replying to @dinodogan:disqus so this round is definitely a truce. But, sharpen your sword…engarde! P.S. All in jest. PPS. Dino is trouble, not I. PPSS. Thank you.
Hi Jayme (new “friend of the week”)
Darn. No. I am total slouch. <3 Peggy
Heh. XOXO
Have you seen Michele’s (@NewBizBlogger) interview with Dino from a few weeks ago? That along with @johnfalchetto’s post convinced me to give Triberr a try. I totally agree: Dan and Dino are doing it right.
Cool to see you back again today! Thanks, Marianne, and thanks for these two tips. I just updated with John’s link and I need to go hunting for Michele as I’ve yet to interact with her. I’m going to hit her up on Twitter this a.m. and find her story, too. Which tribe are you in?
She’s with me in KBL and we just started it so we are building it now; she’s in good company……………..:)
You’re right on about this, Jayme. I knew that Dan and Dino were responsive, but I was so impressed that BOTH of them stopped by and left thoughtful comments on my blog post about Triberr. It’s proof they’re paying attention and that’s a good thing. I think a lot of businesses would do well to follow their example. As always, listening is so very important. And the second half of the equation is responding. Not only do they respond to positive reviews, the respond to negative ones as well. They value and appreciate the feedback they receive – you can tell that with their comments. Again, lots of great business lessons here.
Also, thanks for mentioning my post. You rock (but you already knew that, didn’t you?!).
Now let me just say one thing…even if I thought I rocked, I sure would want to always hear it from someone else to confirm it! I’m no dumbly. Thank you for saying so and that was a really great post at your house; thorough, explored all the angles and you got all the big guns in there with you. Like!
Awesome assessment, my friend. I heart @dinodogan:disqus and @dancristo:disqus very much. Triberr is saving my arse this summer – in more ways than one!
@erica you are SO right. It’s saving me and drawing me to good stuff too!
Totally agree, Jon! How’s your summer going?
C’mon North Carolina, you’ve been hangin’ w/ the Canadians too long; we all know it’s ass (ok, you can say butt) down south……….:)
I am trying not to tarnish my good image, Bill by using such words…:)
A good knife fight is worth a few hundred thousand views on YouTube. If we pulled in some advertisers and broadcast that we could make some cash. #justsaying
Yo, @twitter-122759220:disqus — you’re being paged to engage. Yet another dude trying to get us fightin’. WTH is going on with these men anyway? We’re upstanding women of the blogosphere and we never take arms.
Yeah, yeah, yeah and so it goes….
Love the energy that is Triberr. Plus @dinodogan:disqus is a dog lover so he’s totally cool in my book :=)
Hey, Jon…nice to see you here!!
I drug my feet for the longest time because I didn’t think I was ‘blog’ ready. But once I made it in I really enjoy it and would recommend it as well. I’ve cheesed up a few things but @dinodogan:disqus has been very prompt in either fixing my mistake or answering my questions.
When they make a gazillion dollars on this we can say we knew them when, huh?
No, when they make a gazillion we’ll suggest that they give us a small percentage so that we can hang with them. If they retired now they would be really bored. I think that they need an entourage to hang out with them.
Let the gazillions start rolling.
its new for me getting from the post and the comments below…….if triberr means bussiness than i am IN.
