by Andrew Edwards

Your analytics tool is not only installed and working—it’s optimized and delivering data the way you expected. All the reports are in place and you trust the numbers. One of your key report recipients even told you the interface was easy to understand. Yet you still feel like something’s not quite right. Sound familiar?

You’re not alone.

Here’s what often happens once analytics is "up and running": First, everyone is excited that it’s working at all (those implementation experts we hired really helped out!).

IQ Workforce Sponsored Events

My team has worked hard for the last couple of years to be viewed as valuable members of the web & marketing analytics communities. Too often (and correctly) recruiting firms are viewed instead as vultures that circle above an industry/community.
