episode preview
Data, data, data! It’s all anyone can talk about, but HOW do you get it? And once you have it, how do you make it work for you? In today’s episode, our data guru, Laura Hazlett, breaks it down…and I mean Down. To. The. Ground.
Ascent360 works in many industries, but its heart and soul (and quantifiable numbers…heck yeah) are smack dab in the outdoor industries. So Laura walks us through how we can use the conglomerated numbers of the whole industry and how we can capture, analyze, and AMEND (say what??) our individual data points to work for our businesses.
