The new release of BNC SalesData is a kind of like a cool Optimus Prime toy I remember my brother having when we were young (this is pre-Meghan Fox meets giant robots, which could be good or bad depending on your perspective). Anyway, the toy was pretty obviously cool with it’s ability to transform man-like machine into huge semi-truck. You didn’t have to look too deep to get into how awesome it was.
After multiple play sessions, it became clear that there truly was more to this guy/truck than met the eye. There were all kinds of playable details that you only noticed after really mining the more obvious functions. I tend to think of BNC SalesData like that—there’s a lot going on besides the very obvious revamps. To that end, we’ve created a series of tutorials that we hope will help you find more about how to use the finer details of the new site, as well as sticking with the tried and true transforming (or whatever) functions).
The short videos are broken up by section and include:
- Homepage
- Bestseller Reports
- Market Share
- Managing Saved/Shared Reports
- How to Save and Edit Reports
- Using the Create Reports Form
- Title/ISBN Reports
You can find all the videos by logging into BNC SalesData—we’ve created a link in the sidebar on the right hand side.
You’ll also find a link to the BNC SalesData training webinar (taped version) that is really useful if you attended the webinar and want to review or if you weren’t able to be at the live versions.
Let us know if there is anything else you’d like to see in terms of reference guides by emailing salesdata@booknetcanada.ca. If you can stand the sound of my voice on the videos, I’m happy to make more…maybe I’ll even do some in an Optimus Prime voice (not likely to be distinguishable in any way from Christian Bale’s Batman. Fair warning).
