Certified Optimizer

As of April 16, 2020, I am a “Certified Optimizer”, certified by the industry leader, CXL Institute.

A the end of 2019, I quit my day job to focus on my business full time. The first step of that was to learn Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO).

Everybody is freaking out or in denial, it seems.

Most people I know well enough to talk to regularly are seemingly level-headed about this – they know it’s serious and they know that preventative measures will last months, perhaps even longer.

Incomparable Expert:133 Lessons For Removing the Head Trash That Keeps You Small, Communicating Your True Value to the World and Becoming a One of a Kind Trusted Advisor to Your Clients and Customers (2019) by Jason Leister

They’re often full of great pieces of practical advice and then messy spirituality gets in the way and often ruins or at least greatly subtracts from the point.
