I'm sure we've all thought twice about Marcus' encouragement to talk about our company's (or clients') problems and elephants in the room.
This is an example of how it can even work for animals.

Google has announced that it is sunsetting its A/B testing platform, Google Optimize (and Optimize 360) on September 30, 2023. Google said the platform "does not have many of the features and services that our customers request and need for experimentation testing."

So proud of myself for giving Vidyard a try.When I watched the replay the video and voice appeared out of sync. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be because I have a squillion tabs open or is it something I've missed in the settings?


"I met my wife on Match.com. My profile said, quote, I am a medical student with only one eye, an awkward social manner, and $145,000 in student loans, end quote.She wrote back: you're just what I've been looking for. She meant honest..."~ Michael Burry, The Big ShortGreat movie. Great line. Great moral. Honesty IS, was and shall forever be THE best policy.

At IMPACT, we use a quarterly theme to get everyone excited to help hit our big goal for the next 3 months. This quarter, inspired by the great Ted Lasso, our theme is "believe."
We have to work hard and stick together as a team but most importantly we have to believe we can do it.
I personally am printing out Ted's "believe" sign and putting it right above my computer in my office as a constant reminder to believe!

As we enter the new year, you probably have big goals in place for success. I know I do. Whether it's publishing those 3 articles per week or finally getting your sales team on camera, it takes commitment and dedication to reach those goals. That means doing the work every day.

Hi! We are a local Flooring Company, focused on retail and residential flooring projects, as well as some shower and bathroom remodels. We are doing some print marketing with a local magazine in Memphis, TN, called Clipper. It features small businesses of all kinds. Last month's edition was overall "successful" with a coupon offering, and we had a lot of form sign ups and generated some new business. Another edition comes out in January, and...

Has everyone seen the update Google rolled out to desktop search pages earlier this month? For a while now mobile has been a continuous scroll experience, but desktop stayed locked into 10 result pages.
Now they’ve pushed that update to desktop results as well. Meaning, instead of clicking to page 2 after ten results… you’ll just scroll on down.
So what?
This small update could potentially drive some big changes for folks stuck at the...

You don’t have to be a marketer to know a website is a must have for any business.
We live in 2022, and your website is often the first impression you make on a potential client or customer. It allows them to learn, make contact and when done correctly, will be your greatest salesperson.
Also keep in mind that your website also communicates your legitimacy to the outside world. If someone lands on your website and they immediately think of...


Alternate title: Email personalization is more than simply checking a box.Each of us is a unique individual with specific likes, dislikes, tastes, preferences and life experiences. We can agree that individually, we would prefer to be treated this way rather than being lumped together with the masses.Then why are so many marketing emails sent to 1,000s of people, without considering the person when it comes to personalization? My theory is...

Is there an article about using headers and why they are important that someone can share a link to with me? Thanks!


The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron is a 12-week "spiritual journey to a path of higher creativity" that I have completed multiple times in my adult life. You don't have to be an actual (or professional) artist. Maybe you just have an unanswered desire to paint (that's me), you like to mess around on the piano from time to time, or you don't even consider yourself to be creative at all. I'd still highly recommend.
