So, how can you increase that conversion rate? How can you raise that percent up a few points so you can convert 20-30 visitors out of 100?

You start to look around the cabin of the car, and to your amazement, the steering wheel is in the back seat. WTF?

Get me out of here and show me a normal car.” Read more

Agendas are really just simple checklists that are ridiculously easy to create and imperative to have in order to run an efficient meeting. Once you create an agenda, they’re very easy to maintain. You may need to occasionally tweak the agenda every once in a while, but nothing much more than that. Read more
