Measure channel effectiveness *deeper* down the conversion funnel, and not just to website/landing page. Conversion @ deepest possible level (ideally $$$)
Product question | How do you choose what feature to build?
Just guess, then A/B test a lot. Measure conversion improvement. Rinse & repeat
Founder/CEO question | What metrics do you choose to watch?
Hypothesize customer lifecycle & refine.Choose5–10 conversion steps. Less, not more is better. But measure & iterate. Focus on conversion improvement. Delegate each metric to someone to own

Workshops by GetStandingOvation
At GetStandingOvation, we believe that great presentations are more than just beautiful slides.
Relying only on design for your critical communications is like putting lipstick on a pig. YEP…it still remains a pig. Probably a pig with beautiful make-up applied. It may not serve your communication purpose.
It takes a compelling message combined with a delightful visual design to get a standing ovation.
Learn the secrets of business communication directly from the experts who craft persuasive presentations for CXOs. Just like getting coached by an internationally successful Soccer Player than by a soccer Commentator
