Introducing... Elizabeth!
bharding Mar 12, 2010

Introducing... Elizabeth!

How did the quote go... "with great sales comes great responsibility?"  Something like that.  Anyway, as our buyer base continues to grow and you all keep busy building Bonanzle into The Next Big thing, we have again found ourselves in over our head in the community support department.  To maintain the stellar level of service you have grown to expect with Bonanzle, it is my pleasure to introduce the newest member of the Bonanzle team... the eloquent, extravagant, and extremely elaborate Elizabeth of ANightOwl fame!  


She's exemplary, she's engaging, she's... OK, I'm running out of E-adjectives

Anyone that's been around Bonanzle long enough to find this blog has probably already been helped by Elizabeth in some shape or form, as she has tirelessly and patiently been assisting our community ever since she joined in October 2008.  We've been consistently impressed with her knack for quickly picking up on all our latest and greatest features, and for the steady stream of positivity she infuses into her surroundings. 

Elizabeth's initial responsibilities will be helping to approve and improve our item traits, monitoring and enforcing payments, and keeping an eye on site help comments and images submitted for the category page.  We also plan to have her dabble in support and other community maintenance tasks as needed.  Like Tom did, she is starting as part time, but with our current rate of growth, we'll see how long that lasts!

Here are a couple fun facts about Elizabeth:

  • I hate being bored - I feel guilty if I don't fill my time with something constructive (although I do love to read - that's constructive, right?)
  • I like change and new opportunities to stretch myself into unknown waters. Give me a new toy and I push all the buttons to see how it works - forget any kind of user manual, I want to figure it out on my own.
  • I like things organized - I think Adrian Monk stole some of my habits.
  • I've done some pretty crazy things in my life. In my younger days I worked a summer at a Renaissance Faire (at the kissing booth of all things!) and I was a Rocky Horror Picture Show participant for a while - Time Warp anyone?
  • Now that I'm (mostly) all grown up I like tending my garden - the sun, the breeze and green growing things feed my soul.

I feel like I could have written those first three points about myself, but I'm afraid she's alone on the Renaissance Faire.  Anyway, please join me in extending a warm welcome to Elizabeth!

ANightOwl says: 03/12/10 at 23:27:24

Thanks everyone!
I feel so loved!

I’m really pleased that Bill asked me to join the team. I’ve been working incognito for a few days, and all I can say is I am even more impressed with the high level of support the Boyz have been giving all of us now that I see the astonishing amount of stuff that is handled behind the scenes. I’m more convinced than ever they never sleep!

I am already having a great time, and I look forward to doing everything I can to support the others on the Team and all of you as Bonanzle grows and grows!

adammas says: 03/13/10 at 07:59:31

I like the fact that “The Boyz” hire within the community. Thank you. Congratulations Elizabeth.

spencer455 says: 03/13/10 at 08:17:31

Congrats Elizabeth. Glad your are joining the TEAM, as you have been so helpful over the past year plus plus, especially when I just was having issues with my Bonz or listings.

I like to reiterate what adammas said too. It is nice to see one of our own being hired on to the Bonz staff.

Thanks for going after that much needed attribute feature, as for sellers of old and collectible, there are hardly any of these that exist now that apply to those items.

Looking forward to the improvement…

stuffyouneed says: 03/13/10 at 08:25:04

Congratulations Elizabeth! The boyz are wisely choosing staff from those who have “been there – done that!”
