In this no-nonsense, insight-packed episode of The Fleet Success Show, hosts Josh Turley and Marc Canton dig deep into one of the most misunderstood—and often mishandled—aspects of fleet management: technician staffing.When the budget axe drops, tech labor is often the first target. But how do you know if you actually have too many (or too few) technicians? The answer lies in smart data usage, AEUs (Asset Equivalent Units), and a whole lot of operational efficiency.The duo covers everything from proper classification and indirect labor tracking to why your techs should never leave their bay (seriously—stop letting them go to the parts room). They even pull in lessons from UPS legend Ron Turley, who nearly doubled fleet size without hiring a single new technician.Whether you're struggling with staffing, begging for bays, or just looking to squeeze more efficiency out of your team, this is your playbook.✅ Key TakeawaysAEUs > Guesswork: Stop guessing. Asset Equivalent Units give you a data-driven method to determine your tech needs.Techs Shouldn't Wander: Every minute away from the bay is wasted productivity. Preload parts, use tablets, and minimize distractions.Indirect Labor = Hidden Cost: Track everything. Clean-up, training, and admin time add up fast and should be in your labor math.Don't Underestimate Training: Time spent training isn't lost—it's leveraged. A better-trained tech is a faster, more efficient one.Right-Type, Not Just Right-Size: The right asset or tech mix makes all the difference. You might not need fewer people—just the right ones.Use Data to Win Budget Battles: When you can prove staffing needs with numbers, finance has little room to argue.

How can we build connection and compassionate communities? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Dr. Gail Christopher, the visionary behind the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) framework. Dr. Christopher is the Executive Director of the National Collaborative for Health Equity and a former Vice President at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, where she spearheaded transformative initiatives like America Healing and TRHT. Recognized as one of the 10 Most Influential Women Scholars in Health Promotion by the American Journal of Health Promotion in 2023, Dr. Christopher continues to inspire change worldwide. Dr. Christopher shares the powerful foundation of TRHT, designed to replace the false hierarchy of human value with a vision of our shared humanity. This framework has had a profound impact across the U.S. and beyond, with over 70 college campuses implementing TRHT campus centers. The Five Pillars of TRHT: Narrative Change: Redefining stories to reflect shared humanity. Racial Healing & Relationship Building: Fostering compassion across diversity to create authentic, human connections. Separation: Addressing the systemic ways society perpetuates division and hierarchy. Law: Reforming immigration policies, voting rights, and criminal justice systems to uphold equality. Economy: Transforming economic systems built on exploitation to prioritize equity. The Five-Step Process for Change: Create a Vision for Success: Imagine a future where equality and shared humanity replace hierarchy. Use Data to Assess Reality: Evaluate current conditions against the envisioned future. Engage Key Stakeholders: Identify and involve the individuals and communities necessary for progress. Set Goals: Establish clear, short- and long-term objectives to guide action. Sustain the Effort: Build systems for funding, communication, and volunteer support to ensure lasting impact. Dr. Christopher reminds us that this work is both a framework and a methodology—a guide for communities, institutions, and nations to advance racial healing and equity.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, Tyson underscores the pivotal role of data in making informed business decisions within law firms.Data is a powerful tool that can make your life easier, especially when running a law firm. For a law firm, data can be used to improve different systems. For example, if you collect feedback surveys and want to know how best to serve clients, data from those surveys can be used to make informed decisions on how clients are supported. You can also use operational KPIs like case cycle times to understand how long it takes for a case to go from intake to completion. If you do not like what you see, you can determine what needs to be changed to shorten that time. It is important to focus on key metrics that can be used to take action.Listen in to learn more! 01:03 The Importance of Data Over Gut Feelings 02:07 Netflix's Data-Driven Success04:02 Identifying Key Metrics 05:53 Client Satisfaction Scores 06:43 Financial KPIs in Law Firms 07:39 Using Analytics ToolsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Why numbers are only as compelling as the narratives we attach to them.Facts and figures can be your friend, but before you load your presentation full of data, Miro Kazakoff has a word of caution: “Data's objective, but people are not.”You might think that your data speaks for itself, but Kazakoff says numbers need a narrative. A senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management and author of Persuading with Data: A Guide to Designing, Delivering, and Defending Your Data, he says the key to making data persuasive isn't about showing more information — it's about understanding your audience well enough to know how to relay it in a way that will connect with them. "The people who get good at this are not so much the people who can talk and draw graphs well, but the people who can listen the best. It starts with is empathy.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Kazakoff joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to transform complex data into clear, compelling communication. From avoiding the "curse of knowledge" to effectively orienting your audience through visualizations, he shares practical strategies for making your data not just informative, but persuasive.Episode Reference Links:Miro KazakoffMiro's Book: Persuading with DataEp.49 Make Numbers Count: How to Communicate Data Effectively Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:14) - How to Use Data Persuasively (04:01) - The Curse of Knowledge in Data Communication (06:26) - The Best Way to Present Data Visually (08:41) - The Role of Context in Making Data Meaningful (10:53) - Orienting Your Audience When Presenting Data (13:29) - Storytelling in Data Communication (15:30) - The Final Three Questions (20:29) - Conclusion ********Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium.
In this episode of Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO, host Jaime Hunt sits down with enrollment marketing expert Will Patch to tackle a critical issue in higher education—summer melt. They explore the key reasons why admitted students fail to enroll in the fall and share actionable strategies to combat melt before it happens. From financial aid misunderstandings to social anxieties, they discuss how institutions can proactively support students and improve yield. If you're looking for ways to refine your enrollment marketing and retention strategies, this conversation is packed with valuable insights.Key TakeawaysSummer melt is preventable—but strategies must start early, long before June.Financial barriers are a major cause of melt, especially for first-generation and low-income students. Clear, proactive financial aid communication is crucial.Social anxieties play a significant role—helping students feel a sense of belonging early can make a difference.Parents are key influencers—providing them with resources and guidance can help reinforce their student's decision.A strong anti-melt communication flow should include personalized outreach, two-way conversations, and content that addresses student concerns.Mental health support is critical—institutions should ensure students know where and how to access resources.Data-driven strategies should guide enrollment marketing efforts, ensuring institutions focus on what truly moves the needle.What Is Summer Melt and Why Does It Happen?Summer melt refers to the phenomenon where students commit to a college (through a deposit or other means) but ultimately do not enroll in the fall. While some melt is inevitable, a large portion is preventable with the right strategies. The two biggest contributors to melt are financial challenges and social anxieties.Financially, many students and families realize too late that they are unable to afford the costs, or they misunderstand their financial aid package. Socially, students may feel uncertain about their ability to succeed, worry about fitting in, or struggle with the idea of leaving home. These fears can be exacerbated if they don't feel connected to the institution before they arrive.Additionally, intentional melt has become more common, with students placing deposits at multiple institutions to keep their options open. This makes yield forecasting more difficult and further complicates enrollment strategies.How Can Institutions Reduce Summer Melt?1. Build Early Affinity and BelongingTo prevent summer melt, institutions must start fostering a sense of community early—before a student even deposits. Strategies include:Engaging students with faculty, staff, and current students through personalized outreach and virtual meetups.Encouraging early participation in campus events, online forums, and social media groups to build connections.Assigning student mentors or ambassadors to check in and answer questions.The more "sticky" relationships a student builds with a college—whether through faculty, staff, or peers—the less likely they are to back out before the fall.2. Improve Financial Aid CommunicationFinancial uncertainty is one of the biggest drivers of summer melt. Colleges need to ensure that students and families clearly understand their financial aid packages by:Providing easy-to-read financial aid letters that differentiate between grants, loans, and scholarships.Hosting financial literacy workshops or Q&A sessions for admitted students and parents.Reaching out proactively to discuss payment plans, emergency aid, and alternative financing options.Training admissions and financial aid teams to have direct, transparent conversations about affordability.Students who feel confident about their financial situation are far less likely to melt.3. Engage Parents in the Enrollment ProcessParents are one of the most influential factors in a student's college decision. Universities can strengthen parental involvement by:Creating parent-specific communications (emails, newsletters, or social media groups) with key deadlines and resources.Providing guides on how to support their student—covering topics like homesickness, academic struggles, and roommate conflicts.Encouraging parent participation in orientation programs to ease concerns.When parents feel informed and supported, they are more likely to encourage their student to follow through with enrollment.4. Monitor Engagement and Intervene EarlyTracking student engagement over the summer can help identify those at risk of melting. Indicators include:Not registering for orientation or choosing a later session.Failing to engage with emails, texts, or calls from the admissions team.Delays in completing financial aid paperwork or housing forms.For students showing signs of disengagement, schools should reach out directly—not just with automated emails, but with personal phone calls, text messages, and invitations to one-on-one conversations.5. Address Mental Health and Well-BeingAn increasing number of students experience mental health challenges, which can make the transition to college overwhelming. Universities should:Clearly communicate available mental health resources and counseling services.Provide peer support programs to connect incoming students with those who have successfully navigated similar challenges.Offer flexible support options, such as teletherapy or online workshops, for students who may not be able to access in-person services.Proactively addressing mental health concerns can help students feel more secure in their decision to enroll.6. Use Data to Guide StrategySuccessful melt prevention strategies rely on data-driven decision-making. Institutions should:Analyze past melt trends to identify common risk factors among students who didn't enroll.Use chatbot transcripts, search console data, and social media engagement to uncover student and parent concerns.Monitor response rates and adjust communication strategies based on engagement levels.By leveraging real-time data, institutions can proactively address student concerns before they result in summer melt.Guest Name: Will Patch, CEO of Clarity EMGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/willpatch/Guest Bio: After 9 years at Manchester University and 5 years at Niche where he developed the Enrollment Insights brand and established Niche's research and survey work Will has taken on the challenge of doing more work 1:1 with campuses.

A core element of being effective with inclusive marketing and therefore any inclusive marketing strategy — is data. We've got to know not just the rates at which your customers overall achieve success, but we've also need to know what that data looks like by subgroup. In other words - we need to find out if everyone is achieving success at the same rates. Now I've noticed the as I talk to different people and marketers about this, at times the thought of capturing and analyzing data in this manner feels uncomfortable. So I thought it would be helpful to have a dialogue about this with someone who is steeped in data - particularly by subgroup all day every day. After this short break - you'll hear my conversation with Deborah Pickett — who will be bringing her expertise with data in the education system — and we'll apply it to what you do in marketing's This is not Deborah's first time on the show —- she stopped by way back in episode #19 - The Critical link between equity and customer success.

Eric in Lewiston, Maine, asks how to use last year's data to create and accurate sales plans and evaluate software tools (like CRMs and ZoomInfo) to make those goals happen. Sales planning is vital—without a roadmap, you're just hoping your revenue targets magically come to life. If you haven't defined clear performance metrics—like call activity, lead generation, conversion rates, or daily prospecting targets—then you don't really have a plan. You have a wish list. Looking Back at Last Year: Which Metrics Matter? Eric wanted to know which metrics from the previous year he and his team should be analyzing to inform this year's targets. The short answer? All of them, if they are metrics that matter to your business goals. Consider: Conversion Rates from Inbound Leads Speed to Lead (How fast are you following up?) Outbound Touches vs. Opportunities in Pipeline Opportunities-to-Proposal Ratios Proposal-to-Closed Deals Ratios Upsells, Cross-Sells, and Expansion Deals By mapping out how each step in your funnel converts to the next—calls to first appointments, first appointments to proposals, proposals to closed deals—you can see exactly where to focus in the new sales year. Maybe you need more first appointments. Maybe you need to tighten up your proposals so more of them convert. Or maybe you're missing upsell opportunities with existing clients. Data points you to the gaps. Pro Tip: Once you understand your ratios, you can decide if you're aiming to improve them by, say, 25% (a stretch goal) or if you're reaching higher. However, be careful not to “fix” one area and inadvertently break another. Success in sales is about balance across the entire funnel. Choosing the Right CRM: Beware of Overkill Eric also mentioned his team's struggle with an outdated CRM that's not built for strong tracking. As they look ahead, they're weighing big guns like Salesforce. But here's the deal: Salesforce is an excellent platform—if you're a larger organization with the bandwidth, budget, and complexity to justify it. For smaller teams (like Eric's with just two salespeople), adopting a massive enterprise CRM can be overkill. Zoho, Pipedrive, Nimble, and HubSpot are great alternatives for small-to-midsize sales teams. They're user-friendly, more cost-effective, and far simpler to deploy. The rule of thumb? Choose a CRM that matches your current size and selling process. The last thing you want is to waste months configuring a powerhouse system that nobody uses because it's too big or too confusing. Making Sense of “Big Data” Tools Like ZoomInfo Eric's final question was about whether to invest in a data-intelligence tool (e.g., ZoomInfo, Apollo, LeadIQ) to identify new leads and tap into “intent data.” My take: ZoomInfo: This is what we use at Sales Gravy, and we love it. It delivers reliable data, helps us expand into new verticals, multi-thread inside target accounts, and dramatically speeds up our list building. Intent Data: Tools like ZoomInfo can show you who's actively looking for solutions like yours. While it's not perfect, it can be a game-changer for prioritizing outreach to the prospects most likely to buy. Beware the Shelfware Trap: If you invest in a high-end data platform, make sure you have a solid plan (and the discipline) to use it consistently. It's easy to drop serious money on software and then let it collect dust. Pro Tip: Start with a limited number of “power users” on your team who will commit to mastering the tool. Then expand usage as you integrate it into your sales workflow. How We Made It Work: A Cautionary Tale We've been using ZoomInfo for years. Early on, we blew through a lot of money because we didn't fully implement it. It wasn't until we got serious—trained our people, integrated it with our CRM, and held each other accountable—that we started seeing results. Today, ZoomInfo is essential to how we prospect, grow pipeline,

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.It's a new week, and we'll be on the ground in dealerships in New York and Indiana today. We're talking about how dealers are using data to make decisions, what the second half of the year looks like for dealers, and how consumers are dealing with higher prices.Cox Auto's Power of Data Study was conducted in late 2023 and early 2024 and takes a close look at how U.S. auto dealers are using data to run their dealerships, make decisions, and boost customer value.Nearly all dealers use Customer/Lead Data (96%), Vehicle Data (94%), and Dealership Data (96%). Over 80% of dealers see the upside of using data. They mention things like more accurate forecasting, better trend monitoring, higher revenue, and increased efficiency.However, confidence levels vary. While 72% trust their in-house data, only 66% trust third-party data. Most OEM and third-party data runs on 30, 60, or 90-day trends, which isn't always helpful for day-to-day decision-making.Data privacy and compliance are major worries. About 66% of dealers are concerned about ensuring data privacy, and 44% have held off on adopting new tools because of these fears.The top goals for using data are to increase revenue, improve customer experiences, and enhance internal operations. This includes everything from tracking employee performance to managing inventory more effectively.The automotive market is experiencing a mixed recovery as high interest rates and pricing concerns temper sales growth in the latter half of 2024.U.S. light-vehicle sales in July were estimated at 1.3 million, down 0.4% year-over-year, with variations in estimates by GlobalData and Cox Automotive.The seasonally adjusted annualized rate of sales rose to 16.1 million units, up from June's 15.3 million units.Automakers reporting monthly sales showed mixed results: Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai, and Honda posted gains, while Toyota, Ford, Kia, and Volvo saw declines.Fleet sales dropped 33% year-over-year, impacting overall sales.Inventory levels rose by 49% compared to July 2023, but the growth is expected to slow in the second half of the year."July's performance was disappointing, suggesting that the market could be losing a little momentum as we head into the second half of the year," said David Oakley, head of automotive forecasting for the Americas at GlobalData.Consumers' cautious spending continues, benefiting dollar stores and off-price retailers. Shoppers are not just looking for low prices; they demand value and quality.Many shoppers expect higher quality as prices rise, not just maintaining price points.For example, retailers like Abercrombie & FitcHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Tracking expenses and income sources can help voice actors understand their financial health and make informed financial decisions. Analyzing marketing efforts can help voice actors identify what is working and what needs to be adjusted or improved. Tracking data can provide peace of mind and accountability, allowing voice actors to have a clearer picture of their business performance. Tracking audition data, including project details and casting preferences, can help voice actors improve their success rate and understand their booking ratio. The State of Voiceover survey conducted by NAVA provides valuable insights into the voice over industry. Voice actors can start tracking their data by downloading their bank statements and using templates for income, expenses, and auditions. Interpreting and using data effectively is key, as data alone does not provide answers or solutions.
Data-Driven Decisions is a new limited-series marketing podcast presented by Convince & Convert and shared with our Social Pros listeners. How can data help marketing and sales teams achieve their goals? A common mistake some marketers make is not being clear on those goals in the first place. This can lead to marketers and sales teams trying out lots of different tactics in an effort to drive results. But there is a smarter way – using data to build a goal-oriented mindset from the get-go. Start with Marketing Goals, Not Tactics In this episode, Tessa Barron, Senior Vice President of Marketing at ON24, talks about why marketers should shift their focus from traditional marketing tactics to a goal-oriented approach. Tessa explains how marketers often fall into the trap of continuously using new tactics without clear objectives and how harnessing the right data can transform a strategy. Tessa discusses the importance of identifying key signals that indicate buyer readiness, using webinars and events to gather valuable first-party data and using that to create actionable insights that align marketing with sales. We also hear Tessa explain why marketers should create scorecards, identify the metrics that matter most, and improve conversion rates by leaning on data to drive decision-making. In This Episode 1:54 – A shift to goal-oriented marketing 6:22 – Leveraging webinars and other tactics for collecting customer data 11:11 – The importance of asking customers the right questions and using those answers 14:41 – Aligning marketing and sales to achieve conversion goals 18:58 – Testing, iterating, and improving conversion rates 26:49 – Why pipeline is a “lagging indicator” 31:32 – Why brand awareness is a leading indicator 33:51 – Using metrics that matter Quotes: “Starting with the goal first, and then the last step is determining the tactic that can really help marketers make the shift.” “What aspect about a buyer makes them more likely to convert to an opportunity than not? By knowing that, you can start to set traps. You can start to create different interactions that will help uncover that.” “There is no database on the planet, no third-party resource that can give you that kind of qualitative information that really makes a difference when we talk about improving conversion rates to pipeline and ultimately revenue.” Resources: Connect with Tessa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessa-barron/ Purchase the book at koganpage.com/datadrivenpersonalization (use code CCData20 for 20% off and free shipping in the UK and US) and sign up for more content at convinceandconvert.com.
"Understanding the problem is sometimes often more important than getting to a solution." Madhav Vyas and Dr. David Lubo-Robles discuss June's The Leading Edge on subsurface uncertainty. In this episode, we talk about: > Methods for assessing uncertainty in seismic workflows > Significant sources of subsurface uncertainty > How integrating different data sources can reduce subsurface uncertainty > The concept of rugosity and its effect on seismic image resolution > The advantages of using invertible neural networks > How to better communicate uncertainty to stakeholders and management > Emerging technologies and methodologies to reduce subsurface uncertainty In this conversation with host Andrew Geary, Madhav and David explore the complexities of predicting subsurface outcomes and the various sources of uncertainty that geophysicists must address. The discussion highlights how integrating geologic, petrophysical, and geochemical data can help reduce uncertainty and improve decision-making. The episode also covers the impact of interface rugosity on wave propagation, methods for assessing uncertainty in seismic workflows, and the benefits of using invertible neural networks. Madhav also elaborates on how geophysicists can better communicate uncertainty to stakeholders and suggests looking to other industries, like meteorology, for effective communication strategies. Listeners will gain insights into the challenges and solutions related to subsurface uncertainty, the importance of critical thinking in geoscience, and the potential of emerging technologies to improve subsurface predictions.
