They help us analyze our past performance“Counterfactual analysis makes up a lot of like our cause-effect thinking when we're thinking about how to apply a situation in a new context because nothing is ever the same and the pace of change is happening faster and faster.” -BrianThe concern that many have right now is where do customer place their loyalty? Will they be more experimental or less experimental? They're going to go to the things that they know and return to defaultsThere is a demand for growth and demand for goods right now that's being pent up. The demand is there, but it's not being metIn a downturn, more money is necessary for all areas of life, causing people to look for another job, side gig, and ways to bring in that extra income.

In 2020 and 2021, the scam that impacted the largest number of people was done through online purchases. Either you or someone you know may very well have been scammed. Today's guest is Melissa Trumpower. Melissa Trumpower is the Executive Director of the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust, the Educational Foundation of the Better Business Bureau. Melissa is the co-author of several research reports, including the BBB Scam Tracker Risk Report, the BBB Online Purchase and Employment and Small Business Scam Reports. She has more than 30 years of leadership experience working with not-for-profit, has a bachelor's degree from Cornell University and a master's from John Hopkins University.   Show Notes: [1:01] - Welcome to the show, Melissa! Melissa shares her current role with BBB and the mission of the organization. [2:05] - Scam trackers from the BBB were created in 2015 to be really intentional and specific to track data on threats. [3:30] - Melissa explains why she was drawn to this position with BBB. [5:09] - Due to Covid, more people were online in 2020 and 2021 and online purchasing scams were the riskiest. [6:25] - The BBB utilizes a risk index that looks at more than just the most prevalent of scams. [7:23] - Online purchase scams don't involve a lot of money per individual target, but they are riskiest because of how many of them are extremely believable. [8:37] - Online purchase scams are simple. You purchase an item from a website or an ad and you never receive the item. [9:45] - Be aware that you can come across fake websites in your web searches as well. [10:46] - Melissa shares things to look for in sites that you have never purchased from before. [11:56] - Don't do anything rash especially if you feel like something is off. [13:03] - The method of payment can be a red flag. [14:21] - Crypto is also increasingly used in online purchase scams. [16:43] - Be very careful even when sending crypto to someone you know and be certain you are sending it to the right person. [17:04] - Employment scams are another top scam for the third year in a row. [19:24] - Employment scams average a loss of over $900 per target. [20:38] - Some job listings, especially on Craigslist, tend to be very vague and promising. [22:55] - The other two top scams are home improvement scams and investment scams. [24:24] - If you are investing money, do the research before making decisions. Melissa gives examples of what you can do to ensure safety. [27:25] - Scammers do sometimes also pose as legitimate companies. [28:02] - Don't believe everything you see or read. Be cautious. [29:28] - Another element BBB is looking at is the non-financial impact of scams. [30:42] - The highest scam for susceptibility is the moving scam. [32:29] - Consumers often read reviews and it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a real or fake review. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

The biggest banks in America are racing to ramp up their technology platforms for consumers with cloud-based technology that allows them to expand and radically enhance their range of products and services, and overall customer experience. JP Morgan, for example, plans to spend $14.1 billion this year, much of it on new technology solutions. In a surprising twist, Chase Bank announced the introduction of a travel agency amidst this tech overhall. The tech investments by banks is driven in part by fear of competition from smaller innovative fintech upstarts, as well as a demand for superior digital and mobile services by customers. The heavy spending is taking its toll though on the smaller banks in America unable to compete. Consequently, some 50 to 100 are closing every quarter. "The banks are operating on the theory that you have to get to the customer at the time the customer wants the loan—or even before," says DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at Odeon Capital Group who shares his latest research in this episode. Meanwhile, the traditional brick and mortar branches are being reimagined for a new customer experience. The episode opens with a look at the market, the changing paradigm, and the latest stock market plunges. How did this all start and what are some market commentators and pundits missing? "Money printing used to be the solution," according to BOVE. "Now it is the problem." Across the world. MAT VAN ALYSTYNE, sees bifurcation like in the days of the Cold War, as the conversation turns to world affairs. Joining BOVE and VAN ALYSTYNE is journalist JOHN AIDAN BYRNE

This episode is brought to you by Mercury.   Consumers want to be in the driver's seat of their health. That's the goal of Base, a brand that offers blood testing, creates nutrition and lifestyle plans, and even creates weekly grocery lists for its customers, says Lola Priego, Founder and CEO.   "There's a really powerful technology that is helping connect people, but then when you look at health and wellness, where is all of that personal personalization?" Lola says.   Base doesn't sell nutritional supplements. Instead, it offers recommendations for the top-ranked items. Because Base is integrated with Amazon, they don't make revenue from that transaction, Lola says.   Lola says the vision for Base came from her personal experience at age 27 when she was experiencing chronic fatigue and brain fog while working as an engineer at Instagram. Because she had a year of medical school under her belt, she asked her doctor to run specific blood tests to see if she could get to the bottom of the problem. The tests revealed she had a severe deficiency in Vitamin B12 and folate.   Ultimately, she developed a nutritional and lifestyle plan to fix those levels. Lola would eventually quit her engineering job to pursue a startup with a medical device company, which gave her a good look at how labs work.   "Pushing lab technology forward in a medical device forward was not solving or bridging that gap that I was seeing between science and consumers," she says. "After realizing that, that's when I went on to found Base."   In Part 1, Lola talks about:   * Gratitude for an acquisition offer she got this week, which showed that others appreciate how she sees the industry and her mission. * An overview of how Base was conceived. * Why Base doesn't sell health supplements but only recommends them. * How her health problems gave her the vision for Base. * The experience she gained at a medical device startup.   Join Ramon Vela and Lola Priego as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Base, visit: https://get-base.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

The first social media conference I ever attended was a Search Marketing Expo event back in 2007 or 2008. While it was being put on by a search-focused company, it was all about social media. I thought it would be a good place to learn and listen and see if my ideas on this emerging space could hold water to others thinking about it. But because it was run by search folks, the roster of speakers included a bunch of SEO folks. And one of those was the founder of a little upstart company in Seattle called SEO Moz. Rand Fishkin grew that company into a rebrand to just MOZ. Today, it is one of the most successful SEO and SEM data and services companies in the world.  I'm a customer. I've also taken a lot of their courses. Knowing SEO helps my day-today. I was lucky to have met Rand then and have followed him through the years. In 2018, he left MOZ, though he's still on the board, I believe. Now he's started a new company that is focused on helping brands figure out what influences its prospective customers. SparkToro is a platform that scrapes public profile data from social media accounts, then analyses it to offer consumer insights to its customers.  It's part market research. Part data analysis. And part influence marketing platform.  And yes, I said influence marketing platform. In fact, I even ask Rand during our conversation if SparkToro is the software version of the philosophy we talk about here on Winfluence … that we're in the business of influence marketing, not influencer marketing. Wait until you hear his answer. I invited Rand to chat with me over on Digging Deeper, my interview series for Cornett. But the conversation was super relevant for us here on Winfluence, too. So I've pulled that out and have it her for you today.  We talk to Rand Fishkin of SparkToro about what influences people, how to find out and what to do with that information today on Winfluence.

Today on The Future of Fandom, we teach you a lesson. On this episode, we learn about the consumerization of education and its future at the primary level with Age of Learning and their Chief Innovation Officer, and Head of Mastery and Adaptive Product, Sunil Gunderia. It's no secret that one of the most disrupted arenas over the last few years has been the classroom. Alongside that, tech has evolved from forced Zoom rooms to increasingly individualized programs, giving children a new lease on their learning life. Sunil has seen that firsthand and believes this proliferation of disparate educational content will only continue and broaden for our youngest students going forward. Of course, that individualized, disaggregated approach brings up questions of retaining educational communities and the comradery that results from early schooling. And we get some insight there as well. We also think about fandom in this way, not in the typical consumer lens we've been used to so far on this show. Open your books and your ears and let's predict the future with Age of Learning and Sunil Gunderia. Check out The Future of Fandom, a podcast by LiveLike, wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge talks with the owner and Creative Director of https://www.getviim.com/ (Viim), Steph Hilfer. Steph shares that what Viim does is tied to the meaning of its name. For one thing, ‘vim' is an English word that means ‘enthusiasm, high-spirited, and vitality'. Viim's company name is also an acronym – Visual Intentional Integrated Marketing. Steph explains that before you can begin marketing, you need to have a solid foundation. Your visuals , your intentions, and how you integrate those aspects through your marketing are what create that solid foundation. Viim works with a variety of different types of businesses as their clientele. Their vim comes from your vim, Steph says. Collaboration is very important to the Viim team and combining the best aspects of your creative ideas and theirs is key. You have to continuously nurture your intentionality with your business and brand. Keep yourself in alignment with your mission in order for your messaging to make an impact. Intentionality means changing your perspective on how you show up in the world. Viim and their team offer a one-day-long discovery call for their new clients that aligns their vision, their business's vision, and their team's vision. This time for discovery outlines what their client is already doing and why - you'd be surprised with how many businesses really don't fully grasp what they do. (If your consumer is confused about what you do, that's probably rooted in your confusion about what you do.) This discovery call brings all the power players within a business into the same room, which is what drives team alignment.  Consumers will always notice if you're confused about your own brand alignment. This is usually a subconscious realization most of the time, Steph explains. Unless you're in sales and marketing professionally, you don't typically catch what makes you uncomfortable with a brand. It's all about the consumer experience and how it affects the consumer subconsciously. They may not know what about the brand makes them uncomfortable, but they feel that discomfort and will steer clear. The worst part is that, to begin with, consumers will usually start by blaming themselves and think that their misunderstanding of your brand is their fault. NO brand should ever sit idly if their consumers are feeling this way – and a confused mind will not buy (and if they do, they may feel buyer's remorse.)  Want to learn more?

Pent-up inflation could be the next thing to drive up costs even higher.  Consumers have largely been shielded from the full brunt of expenses that producers, distributors, and small businesses have faced.  Especially in the restaurant industry, they have been hesitant to raise prices too much, but as their costs increase something has got to give.  Case in point, a Mississippi restaurant had had to start listing their order of 15 chicken wings as “market price.”  At its highest, an order cost $28, but the true cost was closer to $34.  Amy Yee, reporter at Bloomberg News, joins us for why even higher prices could still be on their way.

Wade.  Crime and parental rights in education have also been seized upon by Republicans as top issues for them.  Marianna Sotomayor, congressional reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for the top items voters will consider.

China effectively cut its mortgage rate by 0.15bps to 4.45 percent. COVID restrictions in China are damaging domestic demand more than supply, retail sales fell far more than production. Consumers use savings during restrictions, and will wish to rebuild savings post-restrictions. Cutting the mortgage rate makes that easier for mortgage borrowers, but leaves everyone else unaffected.

In this episode, Emmet hosts Dave Monahan, CEO, and founder of Kleer. Emmet and Dave discuss the important crossroads that the dental industry is at with technology innovation. Consumers are demanding convenience, ease of access, and nimble scheduling and payment options, all areas of innovations where the dental industry has traditionally lagged behind. Dave and Emmet also touch on consumer behavior, software, the maturing DSO industry, staying competitive, and more. One area of opportunity they highlight is creating a more cohesive experience between the patient and the provider by bridging the gap for patients who do not have insurance. Kleer offers dental membership plans that enable dental practices to offer care directly to patients — with no insurance middleman in the way. Please visit kleer.com for more information.

Kayce Neill defines a kink as “an act that turns us on that we personally consider taboo.” She believes that everyone has one - from the simple to the extreme - that most are too embarrassed to admit. ✔️ Focus on what you already have and do it better. Kayce trained her current audience to buy her products and services. She also explained her entire marketing process guided by Richard and Kylie's mentorship. ✔️ You aren't alone. Many of us believe that we're the only ones suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma. Kayce encourages having an in-person support system for people with mental health issues. ✔️ We want trust and safety in a leader. It allows for self-expression, creativity, and empowerment in speaking our truth and our visions. ✔️ Our clients trust us more when our humanity shows. Consumers are tired of the bro sales pitch. People have become more receptive to relatable marketing where they can see the “real human” behind each post. Show your vulnerabilities, but tread lightly. ✔️ Having hurdles to overcome doesn't mean you're broken. Therapists aren't there to fix our traumas and anxieties. They're there to help us navigate through them and find out what's getting in the way of where we want to be. ✔️ Create long-term relationships with existing clients. Find new ways to serve them. This leads to more remarkable transformations, free word-of-mouth marketing, and greater possibilities. ✔️ Sales can be done with ease. It pays to invest in the best coaches and consultants. With the right tools and mindset going in, your audience and your profits will seamlessly be within your reach. An amazing introduction to how you approach the erotic and what works best for you and your partners - and how to be able to meet them in a deep way. Questions, touch, sensory experiences, and a deep connection with others, will help you tune into what lights you up. You will learn why basking in your pleasure makes you magnetic. You will understand how authenticity with your erotic nature translates into authenticity in life. Kayce will teach you how to claim your desire, find your North Star, and attain conscious mastery both in and out of the bedroom. Kayce Neill, MA, CHPC, CEBC, LAC is a renowned trauma therapist, intimacy and pleasure coach, dominatrix, courtesan, erotic educator, experienced High-Performance Coach, speaker, and highly trained Erotic Blueprints™ by Jaiya Coach for successful men, radiant women, and conscious couples.

The essence of the digital transformation journey is understanding trade-offs, and today's digital battle offers clear points for each side of the argument.  We all want the digital thread to work and data to flow without interruption, so where is the hold up? On the latest Digital Battle, Craig Brown and Mark Pendergast tackle the viscosity of data and why it doesn't flow like it should.  Is it the people or the technology that slows the processes down?  Craig immediately attributes the hold up to people, Mark argues that the technology isn't in place to make things happen effectively, and with that, another heated digital battle is under way.     On today's podcast, you will learn: Craig blames the people Data flow is impeded by people because of the differing opinions about which tools are the best ones.  The unwillingness of people to conform to what matters to the company is what holds up the flow of data.  If the data is stuck and won't move, it's because of the people.  People try too hard to perfect their designs before they are willing to share data.    Mark argues against the technology People are trying to get their jobs done, and have to share information with others to do so.  If data is stuck, it's because of the technology.  The tools are not mature enough to effectively communicate with other tools.  The incompatibility of standards limits productivity.  Maturity-based, phased release isn't sufficiently supported by technology.    Is there a third player to blame?  Processes might be the real culprit in this digital battle.  Experience has taught too many people to hold onto their data rather than share it.  Processes marry people to the technology and in many cases, is the true point of failure.    The impacts of poor flow Data isn't able to be reused because it's not optimally formatted.  Change cycles greatly contribute to the lack of viscosity.  Time to market is affected by poor flow.  Quality is critically impacted by poor flow.    How can flow be improved? On the people side, people need to emphasize communication about the latest data.  Quality checks need to be in place at every checkpoint.  Understand how your widget fits into the bigger picture and how it is used by others.  On the technology side, data flow needs to be designed to work.  A plan to execute free data hand off from end-to-end would greatly improve flow.  Data governance cannot be static- data flow governance is needed to make data flow. Metrics and rewards need to measure flow.     Key areas of value for viscosity of data Clear measures need to be established to identify reuse of data.  Consumers willingness to pay for a product is really what matters most.  Mainstream flow has many inefficiencies that need to be addressed.  Vendors need to insist on new tools that fit with existing tools.  The CAD to PLM to ERP chain needs to be refined end-to-end.    Continue the conversation with us within the Digital Enterprise Society Community at DigitalEnterpriseSociety.org.   Digital Download: Virtual Round-Table Series

What's up with the upcharge at Starbucks for vegan milk substitutes? If you want soy, almond, or oat milks, you'll pay a premium. For being kind to animals and the planet? Consumers have been complaining to Starbucks for sometime, but the debate gained momentum when Oscar-winning actor and animal activist James Cromwell stepped up and put his hand to a Starbucks counter with a schmear of Super Glue. It showed his commitment to the issue as he read a statement and brought attention to Starbucks' anti-consumer, anti-climate, anti-cow policy. PETA campaign specialist talks with Emil Guillermo about the Cromwell protest, and the importance of fighting the upcharge. Go to PETA.org for more. See the protest on Twitter.

Intro and voicer "Retail Sales"

   Every week, Josh Hawley takes the lead for the GOP on what a true conservative should do, this time rejecting another $40 billion for Ukraine.  He's not flashy, but it's pretty easy to support what he stands for as he always defends his positions brilliantly.    Consumers are turning on companies that get political by avoiding their products and services.  You know, like libs avoid this podcast.  You won't believe the percentage of American voters that say they are likely to dump somebody over a stance.    The Royals change hitting coaches, but that isn't going to fix much.  Their real problem is what I call the "Nicky Lopez Dilemma."  We explain.    In Missouri, a new law will allow coaches at Mizzou to broker money deals for players and if you want to have a beer while you watch Tiger Woods, get ready to shell out $18 for just one can.  Let's Go Brandon.

“If it's not good for a river, it's not good for your body because we are exact replicas of this planet we call home. It's not by accident that you and I are born 70% water- just like this planet is 70% water.”  - Florencia Ramirez    Episode Description: Water is a resource that's easy to take for granted.. Most of us don't think much about the water we use. We turn on the tap in our homes, take long showers, or buy a bottle of water at the corner store. We may not even think about where it comes from, or if it's safe to drink—until there's a problem. And as we are now experiencing, the problems we're facing are getting bigger and more terrifying each year.    Water isn't just a resource—it's a call to action! It's time to think differently about the way we consume water—because it matters.     In this episode, Justine sits with Eat Less Water author, Florencia Ramirez for Part 2 of their conversation on the water footprint of the food we eat. Justine and Florencia dive deeper into how we should be thinking about food through the water it uses, being aware of the sources of water we consume, how the color of water affects sustainability, and what simple ways we, as consumers and individuals, can do things today to “eat less water” and protect our water system.    Meet Florencia: Florencia is a trained researcher at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy, activist, educator, and mother.  After focusing on water-waste prevention in bathrooms, she, recognizing that “seven out of every ten gallons of water is used for food production,” redirected her efforts to the kitchen, where much more could be saved. Florencia fully immerses herself in her subject with eye-opening field trips to resourceful water-sustainable croplands across America. She has been interviewed by NPR, American Public Media, KCRW's Good Food, New York and Bay Area Pacifica Radio, Entertainment Weekly, CBS and KTLA Morning News, and several popular podcasts. She is now working to transition schools and parks from chemicals to organic landscaping in and around Oxnard, California, with funding awarded by Patagonia.      Website Facebook  Twitter  Instagram LinkedIn  Pinterest  Connect with NextGenChef: Website  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  YouTube   Episode Highlights: 01:19 Eat Less Water- What It Means 06:04 The Color of Water 10:08 How to Eat Less Water 13:32 Understand the Story Your Food Tells 16:04 The Power of Our Voice as Consumers 18:50 Waste Less Food

Gas prices have reached record highs in the United States. Is inflation actually to blame, or is it the greed of Big Oil, which is enjoying record profits? Congressman Ro Khanna walks us through his proposal for a Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax, which he says will help curb profiteering while reducing gas prices.  Congressman Ro Khanna represents California's 17th Congressional District. He's the author of Dignity in a Digital Age: Making Tech Work for All of Us.

And what do you believe in that goes beyond the thing you sell but that is strategically aligned to the thing you sell?” – Ron Tite “The way you can evaluate whether your brand belief is strategically linked to the thing you sell is to connect the two with the word ‘so'.” – Ron Tite “It should never be about just winning the battle for time. It should be about both standing out and capturing attention while building trust.” – Ron Tite “You are defined by the actions you take, not by the supposed philosophies you fundamentally believe.” – Ron Tite “What is the one thing you do that connects your purpose to where you make money?” – Ron Tite See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In Non-Compliant Episode 44, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff's attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Laura Antonini and Harvey Rosenfield of #REPRESENT, a project of the Consumer Education Foundation. Laura is an attorney and the Policy Director of #REPRESENT. Harvey is the President of the Consumer Education Foundation and one of nation's foremost consumer advocates. He founded the nonprofit consumer advocacy organization Consumer Watchdog in 1985, where he presently serves as outside counsel.To start the show, Jay, Laura, and Harvey discuss the report put out by #REPRESENT, titled Reboot Required: The Civil Justice System Has Crashed (11:29). According to #REPRESENT's website, Reboot Required: The Civil Justice System Has Crashed shows how business goliaths sponsored a fifty-year campaign to reprogram the nation's civil laws and judicial procedures to favor corporations and the elites .Later in the show, Laura, Jay, and Harvey discuss reforming class actions, and eliminating abuses to the system (19:44). Following a discussion on objectors and low claims rates, Harvey asks Jay why he decided to take on Tom Girardi. Jay's response? "This is going to sound glib: he stole money from widows and orphans" (37:00).To end the show, the group discusses attorney's fees (51:00). While Jay agrees with the issues Laura and Harvey are seeing, he does not agree with their idea of using straight lodestar (multiplying the number of hours reasonably spent by the attorney on the litigation by a reasonable hourly rate) to determine fees (54:00).Connect with Harvey and Laura:Website: https://www.representconsumers.org/Connect with Harvey:Website: http://www.harveyrosenfield.com/wp/Connect with Laura:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauraantoniniesq/Connect with Jay:Twitter: https://twitter.com/jayedelsonEdelson PC Profile: https://edelson.com/team/jay-edelson/Connect with us:Website: https://www.edelsoncreative.com/#podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/edelsonlawTwitter: https://twitter.com/EdelsonCreativeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/edelson-pcRecent Non-Compliant Podcast Episodes:Non-Compliant Podcast Episode 43: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/non-compliant-podcast-episode-43-the-one-with/id1491233296?i=1000551417114Non-Compliant Podcast Episode 42: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/non-compliant-podcast-episode-42-the-one-with-iapp/id1491233296?i=1000548376684Non-Compliant Podcast Episode 41: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/non-compliant-podcast-episode-41-the-one-with/id1491233296?i=1000541366208

Markets rebounded sharply Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average on track for its first positive trading session after six consecutive down days. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said engineering a soft landing would involve “some pain,” as the central bank remains on track for 50-basis-point rate hikes in June and July. U.S. consumer sentiment fell to its lowest in more than a decade, as April data from the University of Michigan survey showed a drop from 65.2 to 59.1. The average per-gallon price of gasoline hit a new high and continues to weigh on the minds of Americans. And the geopolitical situation promises more constraints on key energy and food supplies. Tony Greer, founder of TG Macro, joins Warren Pies, founder of 3Fourteen Research, to discuss the energy market's impact on the broader market. We also hear from Alex Gurevich, who says there's a 0% chance of a soft landing. Want to submit questions? Drop them right here on the Exchange: https://rvtv.io/3NfvoGC.

Imagine a lanky, lazy, fatuous 19 year old me. I wanted money. I desired wealth. But did I want a real job? No! I was the 3rd assistant manager of a record store. We actually had no employees outside of the managers. I had no one to manage and was still at the bottom of the totem pole.    The record store did not pay well and most of my paycheck went to the outlet mall food court meals. I needed some extra cash. The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was the store next door and planning to open a kiosk across town in another mall. The owner asked me if I was willing to pick up some extra holiday hours working for her selling candy apples.   At the age of 19, it was hard to say no to extra holiday hours. The manager suggested I give out free samples to encourage people to buy candy apples. Six hours later. I had sold 0 apples and ate 2, then I was fired.   Today, we're going to talk about how to turn your free stuff into paying clients. “Consumers today need to be nurtured so much longer than ever before.” IN THIS EPISODE The hesitation behind giving away free things. How consumers are operating today. Why giving away free resources and information is so important. The 6 elements of the consumer journey. Focusing on the relational value. The 3 options you have to add value. What a good lead magnet achieves.

The “freemium” model is everywhere now. And it makes sense! Consumers are picky, more wary than ever, and in need of more proof before opening their wallets. But what if freemium isn't feasible for you? Giving away your product or service is pretty costly, after all (we know — our software platform offers a free […] The post MBA2047 Why You Should Offer a Faux Free Plan + Free Ride Friday appeared first on The $100 MBA.
