data driven strategies to be awesome online
DESCRIPTION
Thanks for checking out my presentation again. If you'd like some context and to discuss anything here within please reach out on twitter @mitch_4 or email mitch AT CapitalAuto dot Ca. We have grown using data driven strategies to well over 2MM page views per year, which may not sound like a lot depending on your background, but in the car business it's tops! The main point to my presentation is that if you can base your decisions on objective data you'll avoid so many set backs and land mines caused by unavoidable preference and opinion. I try to speak from experience and leave BS on the sidelines and I can't tell you the number of times I've had a strong opinion on something I "just know will work" and have it completely flop. In many circumstances you'll never know if it's a flop or not unless you find a way to truly measure it because business are big and it's so easy to associate and explain away anything without objective proof to back it all up. We sell new Ford and Lincoln vehicles and more used vehicles than any Ford dealer in Canada and our business is very similar to most SMB's out there. I love talking about marketing and startegy so please let me know if I can help, again twitter @mitch_4 or email mitch at CapitalAuto DOT ca. http://www.capitalfordlincoln.com Stay Awesome!TRANSCRIPT

Why is it important?
• Context is gold! – What was the purpose of your visit today– Were you able to complete your task?– (If unable) Why not?– How would you rank this site 1-10– What would make this site better?

My favorite part…
• Call bullshit on internal opinions. • Say no to internal preferences. • Do what works.
