History is repeating itself today, but I guess that's how
traditions are created. ReadyTalk customer and local tech company,
TrackVia, today announced the passing of Denver’s downtown tech
torch—or in this case, a ski-lift chair—to LoHi Labs, another
burgeoning tech company. The tradition started last year when
ReadyTalk moved to larger offices and needed to part with the ski
lift chair that had been a fixture of our lobby. Rather than
retire the chair – which had grown to symbolize ReadyTalks... Read

2013 has been a busy year at ReadyTalk. We’ve made enhancements to
our awesome productivity tools, kicked off exciting new partner
integrations, and we recently launched one of our largest product
releases ever - desktop video conferencing. I’m happy to report
that ReadyTalkers have not only been hard at work in our office,
but in our community as well. Our employees volunteered at several
fundraising events in Q1 coordinated by members of our dedicated
Charitable Contributions Committee. On a... Read More » »

So, yesterday morning I had an "oh crap!" moment (that's the PG-13
version). You know, when you send out an email blast to 11,000
people and realize that you forgot to review the subject line that
still said "NEEDS TITLE"? Yeah, one of those. Most marketers have
experienced this kind of flub at some point. In fact, I had a few
replies assuring me that they had 'been there, done that' and were
hoping to give me a heads-up so I could potentially catch the rest
that hadn't gone through yet. Y'all...Read More » »

America, MSN, CNN, USA Today and many other news organizations.

Face-to-face interaction is no longer required for a
businesses to succeed in this day and age. In fact, more and
more businesses are moving away from the traditional office setting
and outsourcing their work to remote workers in other cities,
states and countries. Telecommuting is one of the most cost
effective ways to grow a business; and despite many misnomers,
telecommuting doesn’t disconnect a worker from the office.
Many businesses are using helpful communication methods to
keep track of... Read More » »

At Eloqua Experience in Orlando I spoke about how to do a
server side post in Eloqua using javascirpt, cURL and some JSQuery.
A server side post is different than a direct post in that in
a server side post, the server is doing some processing before it
reposts back to Eloqua. This is often needed when the form in
question collects credit card information or some other
confidential information you dont want posted back. The problem we
had was that our free trial and a buy now form are not... Read More

Last week, ReadyTalk employees participated in the 3rd Annual
Colorado Gives Day. Each year, ReadyTalk matches up to $500
per employee in charitable giving. To up the ante, our Charitable
Contributions Committee also matches each employee donation made on
Colorado Gives Day. So a $50 donation to my favorite
non-profit becomes $150 with the ReadyTalk matches. Our goal
this year was $3500 in employee donations. I'm thrilled to report
that we blew past that with over $4000 donated! That means... Read

industry. 1. Describe a typical day
for you at ReadyTalk I'm not a morning person at all so I'll
usually waltz in at about 8:30-8:45 a.m. I have two daily
meetings on my calendar. The first is at 9:00 a.m. when my
project team has our daily standup. This is where we see

So what exactly is a Feature Frag? It's an event focused on feature
development; it's quick, it's competitive and we want the best
ideas and prototypes to be left standing when the dust
settles. Let me shed some light on this newly minted term for
you, dear reader. Here in the halls of ReadyTalk Engineering, there
are a few things that are part of who we are. Video gaming happens
to be one of them. Many of our engineers grew up playing 8-bit
video games or spent more quarters at the local arcade... Read More

When Outside Magazine votes you the best place to work in the
country and your CEO is the World's Fittest CEO, you likely work
with a group of people that don't spend a lot of time on the couch.
Kelly shares an example of a group of ReadyTalk employees recently
spent a Saturday. I owe a huge thank you to my fellow ReadyTalk
marketing team members Mike McKinnon and Simone Nabers for making
ReadyTalk’s 3rd Annual Climbing Day a huge success. ReadyTalk

Last year was my first year attending Salesforce's annual
Dreamforce conference. I've been to a lot of BIG conferences and
tradeshows - E3 (in it's glory days), ComicCon, CES, and others.
Taking over entire city blocks, every hotel in the city and
multiple parties every night, nothing is quite like Dreamforce.
There were a few mistakes I made as a Dreamforce newbie that will
be sure not to do this year: Lunch. Last year, I left the
convention center to track down food. The first day I didn't...

It occurred to me that the majority of applicants and candidates
that I talk to on a day to day basis in the field of software
development are primarily men. Even within the walls of
ReadyTalk we lack a certain female presence on the software
development side. I have done some research to find out the
history of females in computer science. I am hoping I will be able
to understand what the future may hold and how ReadyTalk can help
support women in technology. According to Wikipedia, the

Everyone has heard the expression that companies should “eat their
own dog food.” Well, I have two dogs and the idea of eating their
kibble isn’t exactly appetizing. I prefer the alternative take of
“drinking your own champagne” – same concept, but much tastier.
While the “dogfooding” concept initially emerged as a way for
organizations to demonstrate confidence in their own offerings to
prospective customers, it has evolved into something much more
valuable. Regardless of which version of that... Read More » »

A lot of candidates ask me "what does it take to get hired as an
engineer at ReadyTalk". I simply respond, "passion".
Lets first think about what passion really means.
Wikipedia states "Passion is an
intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm,
or desire for something." ReadyTalk Engineering
has built itself on passionate developers who love to "geek out"
any chance they get. Creating a geek culture is something we
take pride in and make sure to maintain as we grow. As a candidate

Dreamforce is one of the largest technology tradeshows of the year.
It brings 50,000 people to San Francisco for a week of sessions,
exhibits, parties and keynotes all dedicated to the topic of
Salesforce. The event is crowded with geeks from every position –
salesforce.com administrators, marketing folks (like me),
salespeople (of course), developers and more. ReadyTalk gets a lot
of value out of exhibiting at Dreamforce. It’s a great opportunity
to demo ReadyTalk for Salesforce, our free... Read More » »

Today's guest post is provided by Jessica Liss, ReadyTalk Technical
Product Manager This year ReadyTalk entered a team of five runners
to compete in the Corporate Cup division of the Colfax Marathon.
The Corporate Cup marathon relay aligned well with ReadyTalk’s
values of health and wellness as well as giving back to the
community as the top three finishers were rewarded with cash to
donate to their choice of the race’s charity partners.
