Seth Godin starts our day with another excellent post about the two-review technique. Basically, what would a 5-star review look like and what would a 1-start review look like. Which side are you optimizing for? On Point Nine Land, they have an interesting article about benchmarking your churn rates. Anyone with members/users needs to focus on churn. On DZone, they talk about conversations between tech and business, and how the focus should be on outcomes. This doesn’t sound like a big idea, but in my experience these conversations rarely happen.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
