Start Up Grind Sessions (a beginning for Start up Analytics)

Start up Grind for Entrepreneurs

I recently went to one of Google's Start up Grind Sessions with Dustin Masancay handling the event, it was a great event with a lot of really cool people. Imagine a mini Silicon Valley gathering at the Microsoft Center. Jessica Mah indicated that there was a need to concentrate on metrics and analytics that will be good for the business instead of concentrating on your media coverage and your number of users. At the end of the day, you need to have that analytics working for you to make some profits. I personally don't think that Google Analytics alone can help you predict your customers but it's a starting point. Predicting your next sale based on your users help you turn that visitor into your customer and that's what drives your business. Get constant feedback from your customers and work with your developers in giving that utmost customer experience that they want and you get a good business platform.
