It’s hard to believe that 2020 is nearly over. And with 2021 on the horizon, another big development in the digital marketing and advertising world will soon follow — the removal of third-party cookies in the Google Chrome web browser.   The looming end of third-party cookies Chrome, announced by Google , is scheduled for early 2022. While this may seem like a long timeline, it’s something you need to start planning for now. With this move, Google follows a growing list of browsers opting to leave the tracking-technology behind. Safari, for example, now blocks all third-party cookies by default. Third-party cookies, unlike first-party, are essentially tracking codes set by individual websites or platforms other than the one a visitor is presently on. In other words, people can know what you’re doing even after you leave their site. (Think: social media tracking snippets that follow a user’s journey from seeing and advert on Facebook to converting on the brand’s website.)...

We have all experienced the growing pains of being a rookie. Whether it was the time we started a job at a new company, picked up a new hobby, played a sport or instrument for the first time, or trained for a marathon, all of us have made rookie mistakes.  In Jeffrey Gitomer’s book, The Little Red Book of Selling , he describes 18.5 principles, strategies, and actions that will lead any sales person to success. Number 12 on that list is “make mistakes.”  "Make mistakes. The best teacher is failure. It’s the rudest of awakenings, and the breeding ground for self-determination. Don’t think of them as mistakes — think of them as learning experiences not to be repeated. How willing are you to make mistakes?" - Jeffrey Gitomer It’s okay to be a rookie and make mistakes with assignment selling . Most people do. It’s a new tool in your sales team’s tool belt, and it will take a few swings before you learn how to perfect the process. Don’t be afraid to fail . I’ve seen some ...

To the chagrin of several dear people in my life, I’m a bit of an over-planner — but it’s not my fault. I can remember the carefree weekends of college and young adult life where I slept in, made vague plans, and usually ended up playing guitars around a campfire with the same people as the weekend before. Who needed plans back then? But somewhere along the way I picked up a mortgage, had two kids, and began rationing my free time between household chores, pre-teen taxi service, and watching old Kitchen Nightmares episodes . That’s where planning comes in. That’s why, when our dog Millie wakes me up at 6:30 on a bleary Saturday, I’m up quickly, eager to get up and squeeze as much as I can from our family’s shared time off. By 7:00, I've got the whole weekend planned.  As you might expect, I bring this same mentality to work, too, where it is much better suited. Still, it’s not always an asset. When Liz Moorehead , IMPACT’s editorial director, came to me in the summer and volu...

Although HubSpot is our preferred platform for building and hosting websites, that doesn’t mean it’s free from criticism. After all, redesigning or migrating your website to a new content management system (CMS) can be expensive — and you want to be sure you’re making a wise investment. Whether you’re looking to rebuild your website, are considering what CMS is best for your business, or are just interested in learning more about some of HubSpot’s features and limitations, this list will help address your questions and concerns so you can make the right decision for your business. I’ve been developing websites on HubSpot for over seven years and I’ve worked with many of its features since they were first introduced. In fact, I built sites before HubSpot renamed its CMS “COS” (content optimization system) and then switched it back to “CMS” again. Although I personally love developing sites on HubSpot and believe it’s the best website platform I’ve used , I’ve encountered many situa...
