RE: But What About The Children? (Five Minute Freewrite—Helpless)
sir Glen... it should be interesting to see how much you can ignore your stats because you're kind of a numbers guy aren't you, and a stats guy?
Which is great, I need to be more like that instead of just flying clueless.
I'm trying to increase people to talk to but I'm pretty much maxed out unless I stop talking to people I already have as aquaintences!
I can be a numbers guy. I like to see what I've done and what I can improve on, because it tells me what more I need to do. But if I don't need to keep track of them I'd rather not. As you say, we'll see what that does for me. I don't seem to have much success when I'm just winging it.
You can only do what you can do, I guess. I'm not keen on the idea of ignoring established relationships. That would seem to be the opposite of engagement.
yes sir, my thoughts exactly...the last sentence. how can the 2nd place guy talk to so many people in any kind of meaningful way? his CL was like tiny wasn't it?
It was 77,000 something, and their CR was like 29. I don't know the formula—so I don't know why it put so much emphasis on the PS, but it did. Asher did say he might do some tweaking on it, so we'll see. I mean, it's not like the category is bad. A balance just needs to be maintained.
It might be possible to talk to that many people in a meaningful way, but the CR and the CL didn't really bare that out, so I would say this go around, the answer is, they didn't engage that much. The thing about it is, whether or not someone responds is out of our hands. So, it's hard to fairly gauge any of this really.
I think the answer lies closer to a balance of the different metrics, though, so we'll see how that goes as we get a few more weeks with the PS under our collective belts.
ok well I wasn't impressed with his numbers except the PS so I thought you should have beat him soundly but it's not our contest and I trust that it will be adjusted fairly.
