Are you a Luddite?

Are you a Luddite? Without using Google or Chatgpt…do you know what it means when you are referred to as a Luddite?

You may very well be one.

Thom and I discuss AI in terms of what it means for humanity going forward.

I tell the story about the Luddites which were a group of people following a guy named Ned Ludd during the industrial revolution.

Lud along with his followers were destroying sewing machines so “save” the jobs of humans. These people were worried that their services were not needed anymore and that is how they dealt with it.

Whether you are scared or hate the idea AI….it is really irrelevant. It’s here, getting more powerful every second.

In 1-5 years AI will be smarter that all humans on earth combined.

Do not be a luddite.

MergedAnalytics is a great Inflation hedge

The Increased inflation trend implies that the prices you’re accustomed to will continue to shift upwards.

The problem is…with most things we buy…. once the price is raised…they do not come back down.

Our customers have put us to the test comparing the analytics we deliver vs. our competition. We win every time even when price is NOT considered.

Using MergedAnalytics is a hedge against inflation.

Every young adult should wait tables

Every young adult should wait tables at some point in their career.

Benefits…

– requirement gathering

– customer service

– sales

– upselling

– setting expectations

– performance based compensation in the form of tips

– money management

– learning how to work with a team

– learning how to support coworkers

Those were just some of the many benefits I came up with off the top of my head.

Maybe most importantly, waiting tables will teach empathy towards people in other occupations like taxi drivers, cleaners etc.

People show me all I need to know about them when they are nasty to their wait staff. Thom and I go deep on this subject in the following clip.

Frontline feedback

” Can I stop you for a second?

As a digital marketer for the past 10 years…let me just say this tool is so simple to use and powerful.”

Said one of my commercial construction customers during our meeting after I had walked her through how to set visual indicators for website visitors that clicked specific banner ads to reach their website.

Caller ID for your website

A prospect who actually likes #mergedanalytics told me he found the tool a little creepy.

I created this short video to respond to these types of concerns.

Think of MergedAnalytics as caller ID for your website.

Meeting in person vs. Zoom

We ran a report and found our best customers were also the ones we had either met in person at some point or were the result of a referral that we had met in person.

Overwhelmingly the in person relationships are our longest and best customers.

Thom and I discuss this more in the following clip.
