This work creates a strong foundation for building a large and extremely efficient business.
DATA, METRICS & ANALYTICS
You cannot build a high growth company unless you understand how to track and interpret data, metrics, and analytics. Unless you are tracking and interpreting, you will have no real idea on what is working and what isnt….meaning you can’t focus properly, and keep spinning around in circles. This module will help you build a foundational understanding of getting your data to work for you, and does so in a way that any non-technical person can get a far better understanding of their company without a computer programming degree.
WEBSITE & TECH
You do not need to be a technology company to run an e-commerce business. Technology doesn’t have to be complicated, you just need to understand the basics and build a roadmap so that your technology can evolve as your business does. Here you will learn to de-complicate and de-clutter your website, build a roadmap for success, manage your technology partners, and focus your energy on building out an incredible platform to do millions in sales per month.
BRANDING
Building a brand will separate you from the masses and give you incredible equity with your customers. You cannot run a lasting and scalable e-commerce business without having a strategic focus on building a strong and recognizable brand. There are many elements that go into building a brand, and you will learn various strategies to become top of mind in your industry without having to continually buy media to get in front of your customers.

We help you understand how, why and where to focus your energy when bringing new products to market.
MANUFACTURING
A scalable business requires scalable and cost-effective production, and without a full landscape of potential partners and the ability to compare them, this is a really risky decision to make. We show you the best ways to identify, pitch and manage new manufacturing relationships for new products, or to create backup plans for your current products (or even to add leverage for contract re-negotiations with them by having competitive offers to lower prices). You’ll also learn how to ensure your products are always meeting quality standards, and that partners are held accountable for this incredibly crucial piece of your business.
