MeetTheBoss.tv Exposed (Review)

While the likes of Youtube and Vimeo have been struggling to attract professional content onto their networks, other websites have been busy creating their own, in an attempt to attract senior managers and executives to be users of their content instead. One such example is MeetTheBoss.tv, which in the last year has grown to an impressive 200,000 registered users. In this article, we will give our opinion on this upstart and recommend whether or not it is worth checking out.

Price/Subscription Costs

A quick look on their website should give a hint at the price tag associated with access to this content. I found a polished and attractive design, Web 2.0 colour scheme and oodles of premium videos. I also couldn’t watch more than teasers of videos without registering. This all suggested that this website could be charging upwards of $20 per month for full access to its content. However I was traitored by my first impression, as I have been in talks with the owners of MeetTheBoss.tv, and they have provided me with a signup link that will allow my site visitors to create a full-access & permanent account for FREE!

Slightly taken aback at this promotion, I analysed the site more thoroughly. There are clearly visable advertisements in the right sidebar, however I don’t find these detract from the user experience, and they appear to be useful to the average manager. Perhaps MeetTheBoss.tv could survive without membership fees.

Content

This is where I believe MeetTheBoss.tv has it’s greatest strength. The shear quality and consistency of the videos, to be quite frank, blew me away. Most content is shot and viewable in High Definition, and the sound is sharper than any web video content I see on other websites.

The calibre of the speakers and interviewees on the videos is self-evident. As I glance across the homepage, several high profile executives catch my eye, including Patrick Doyle (CEO of Domino’s Pizza), Scott Thompson (President of PayPal) and Steve Odland (CEO of Office Depot) to name but a few. The thought of being able to gain HR insights from the head of people at a giant corporation such as McDonalds is one that excites me.

Usability

There are a few features of the website that show me that the designers at MeetTheBoss.tv really had busy executives in mind. One such feature is the ‘skip-to’ chapter feature. MeetTheBoss.tv videos are often between 10-20 minutes long, and like many YouTube videos, sometimes only a specific segment really interests us. In MeetTheBoss.tv videos, handy chapter captions hover below the streaming video, allowing you to skip to the key information at any time. This allows you to extract only the vital information without hassle.

Conclusion

I think that by this point, the conclusion is clear. MeetTheBoss.tv is a well-designed website, offering high quality and empowering video content for absolutely no fees! These facts alone have secured it’s place as my favourite leadership video source on the internet so far. Remember, you can create your own full-access account in 30 seconds using the link/promotional code that I have received from the site administrators:
