What our members are saying about MeasureU

Absolutely - it feels like a secret weapon & why I maintain my DDU membership because even in busy periods when I can't focus on the formal learning content I know the slack group will always have my back for those tricky questions that platform support teams can never answer.

Short answer: Absolutely. Long answer: Gimme some time to write out how helpful this has been for me - but I'm grateful for this group.

Despite being totally overwhelmed for the last two months straight, I have still gotten more value out of the DDU slack channel than any other source of industry news. The fact that it's not just a place to take value but to add value gives me a huge sense of pride in watching it grow. Absolutely love it!

If the DDU Slack community were to suddenly disappear overnight, I would seriously be in mourning. It has become my extended superpower. It’s almost like the Star Trek Series with the Borg. I need the voices of the DDU ‘hive mind’ :smile: :blush:

It’s great that you’re not alone at your desk, you can drop into the slack channel and ask a question and see if you have any input of questions others have asked.

There’s tremendous value in the slack community. There is a ton of knowledge here and a willingness to openly share experiences and solutions. I’ve posted questions when I have needed a sounding board for solutions. I have ask tricky questions that needed technical answers. This community is a great resource, and I’m happy to contribute whenever I can.

After trying HubSpot and Wordpress communities a long time ago, Slack is the only community where I find it's worthwhile hanging out. Two things I love most about it: One: There's no ego. Second: No big expectations. It's just people sharing knowledge and being humble enough to recognize when they need help.

I am obsessed with this Slack channel. I've gotten so much help with so many issues. It's great to be able to post a question and know that other people actually understand the material you are talking about. I'm used to people saying, "sorry I have no clue." One specific issue I had that @Fred Pike helped me out tremendously was trying to figure out how to get data sent to my GA4 property on a huge news site where numerous articles get posted daily. The main issue I was having was getting the category data that you are able to set on the backend of WordPress sent to GA4 without going over data limits such as the 100 characters, 25 parameters with each event, and of course cardinality. Took weeks of testing data and then monitoring the data, but so far so good!!

Initially, I was hesitant about becoming a part of the Data-Driven U Slack community. I was worried that there might be too much information to handle, which could add to my already busy schedule. Despite my initial hesitation, I decided to give this community a chance and I am pleasantly surprised by the wealth of knowledge and networking opportunities it provides. The information shared here is not only relevant but also insightful without being overwhelming. I've had the chance to engage in meaningful discussions, learn from experts, offer assistance, and gain valuable insights that would not have been easily accessible elsewhere. Over the past year, Data Driven U has been an important part of my learning journey helping me stay focused and tackle GA4 implementation issues on my own. I appreciate how this community respects my time and provides value rather than overwhelming me with unnecessary information. It's become an essential part of my professional growth, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

I look forward to Brain Gainz every week. Different topics every week covering a broad array of digital marketing topics from some of the top practitioners in the industry. It keeps me up to date in our fast changing business and I am able to takeaway something almost every week that I can put to use in my every day activities and responsibilities. The questions and practical suggestions from other members of the group during the presentations can be priceless. I highly recommend Brain Gainz to anyone in the industry.

I've only participated in two Brain Gainz so far, but it now has a permanent space on my calendar. I've come up with my own ways to accomplish tasks for clients over time, but having the opportunity to hear and watch how others are doing similar tasks has given me the opportunity to reshape how I do business. Having examples of efficient and proven models for process, execution, and reporting will allow me to go from "fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" to methodical and systematic. I've also seen how participating in Brain Gainz can broaden my perspective on what I can offer to clients in terms of service offerings.

In the ever evolving market and technology you need to stay up to date and have a base to stand on. The DDU courses and community gives you both. Don't get comfortable, get in to it and meet good people along the way.

I'm quite new Skills+ -member and still checking out vast amounts of the materials.  The professional material of Skill+ amazes me everytime I try to find info about digital marketing subjects. I can not wait to help my clients more and more with learning things from Skills+. As I'm learning more from the professionals who has done digital marketing very long time, I'm feeling more confident offering my services to new clients. The most valuable thing I've learned from Skills+ is that I've already been doing the right things from the right perspective to the clients. But at the same time I'm humble to notice from the Skill+ courses that there is much more I can do to help clients. I'm happily recommending the Skills+ -membership to anyone who wants to learn data driven digital marketing in depth!

I *dig* the courses and the Skills+ membership; it's like getting access to Advanced level tactics and strategies. Without this access, I was basically lost dealing with GA4 and Google Ads If I wasn't a member, and knew of this membership, I would feel ashamed to not be a part of it!

Jeff, I am indebted to you for your top-notch service and teaching, and for finding the critical topics that matter the most (I know, redundant!). Really the most intense and insightful learning anywhere. Sincerely, Lori Shube

Jeff, Kaylah, and the rest of the DataDrivenU team took a topic that used to be regulated to enterprise companies with loads of resources and made it accessible to just about any digital marketer willing to do some deep thinking and experimentation. The people who jump into this course have an early adopter advantage of a blue ocean market that's about to be flooded with demand. Take this course. You won't regret it.

I joined this cohort to advance my knowledge in data engineering techniques and leverage the power of the Google BigQuery. I never imagined the endless opportunities I would be able to leverage after learning from the talented team at DDU. They truly surpassed my every expectation. Now I can reach the next level and beyond in data analytics all while bring my expertise to my clients. Thank you Jeff, Kaylah, Ameet, Jim et al on your team and your resident experts. If you ever have the chance to join a DDU cohort, don't hesitate; worth every dollar.

The BigQuery CYA program was a great source of information. I'm excited for the possibilities to be able to gather all my company information in one place. Before taking the course it was very overwhelming, but now I feel ready to tackle the challenge!

This is one of the most comprehensive courses on creating a Datamart to streamline reporting. This is a service that we've wanted to provide for a long time and this class allows us to do that. Highly recommend!

This was a great program to get a handle on how to add BigQuery as a service for my agency. I am now able to provide more value to my clients and have a new service that differentiates us from the competition. Without this program, it would have taken me months if not a year to figure out all of the details regarding how to add this service to our agency.

The walkthrough of the whole process from importing, transforming to exporting was really helpful. And Ameet and Medhi as guests were excellent experts. If I hadn't taken this program, then I would not have fully understood how raw the data is and what effort is actually required to make this useful to a client.

Even the most veteran Google Analytics professional seems to be intimidated, or annoyed, at the release of GA4 but going through this course with Jeff and the amazing members of the Cohort was a really great way to understand GA4 and it's nuances. I'd recommend this course to anyone interested in feeling comfortable and getting the most out of GA4 they can.

1) What did you think of this program? I very much enjoyed the course, the way Jeff teaches and the online teaching environment with the video and the NOTES! Very valuable to match up with my own notes! And I like the mini quizzes. Much better than one big quiz. 2) What's the #1 thing you're able to do that you weren’t before? I studied GA4 quite a bit, had no idea I could change the navigation for reports. I also had trouble finding more hidden stuff that recently changed. (Like filtering IP). 3) How would you feel if you hadn’t taken this program? I would still be missing big parts of GA4 knowledge and would probably be somewhat hesitant to accept the more complex GA4 gigs. All the best / Met vriendelijke groet, Marco Kramer,

Hi Jeff, thank you for that great session today! I am really learning a lot and I mean the way of thinking about doing business. I appreciate your agency insights! I mean: I had a lot of trainings for sales and processes and automation. But never from a agency owners's perspective. That is so much worth! I promise that I will have a look on your other agency trainings. Maybe I come back with questions, which could help me most. I also would like to have a 7million revenue agency 😊

Hi Jeff - Chris Freeman here. I was a member of the CYA Cohort 1 and you asked for a video testimonial. I have tried several times to make one for you, but the results were unfortunately less than satisfying. I have therefore written below what I would like to say, in the hope that this may be useful anyway. - - - - - As a member of Cohort 1, I just wanted to give a shout out to Jeff and his GA4 CYA training. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect going in, as GA4 is still updating at a fairly rapid pace and things are constantly changing. What I did know beforehand was Jeff's expertise in Google Analytics, as I have also taken his previous courses in this field. In a nutshell, this course goes through everything you need to know about GA4. Whether you are migrating from Universal Analytics or have never used analytics before. The training is very well laid out and follows a logical sequence. It's a lot to learn in a short space of time, but due to the urgency of getting clients migrated, it is by far the fastest way to get your new services up and running - before the rush. The biggest benefit to me personally was that Jeff shares different ways to locate and analyse problems. Rather than just show and list of problems and answers, he explains in-depth how to find your own answers to issues you may be having or may have in the future. Classic example of teach a man to fish! After receiving my CYA certification, I went on to take Google's official GA4 certification, which I completed and passed handsomely in less than 20 minutes. If you're serious about understanding GA4 in the shortest time possible, sign-up today for the next CYA Cohort. You will NOT be disappointed. Jeff goes above and beyond and is very focused on the group he is working with. I met a lot of great people in Cohort 1 and am already networking with a few of them professionally. My thanks to the whole team! Chris Freeman CEO - BusyDaze ApS - - - - - Please feel free to abridge/adjust as you need. ;o) Another thing I would like to mention is when we were doing our introductions during the first session, I mentioned that my expertise lies primarily in mobile-first website performance (Core Web Vitals, UX, etc.), which you seemed to be rather interested in. This was confirmed in the current GA4 Agency training, when my partner (Chris McKane) was also talking about performance. As I'm sure you are aware, it's a pretty technical subject so I figured that the best way to introduce you to the concept would be to show you the final result and work back from there. I therefore took the liberty of rebuilding a copy of your current homepage (hope you don't mind*) to use as an ""apples to apples"" comparison. (*Please note, this dev copy of your site is private and not-indexable, so it will not affect your live site.) I also made a short video (15 mins.) pointing out a few things you should be aware of with your current live site. You can download the video directly from the link below: https://busydaze.com/private/jeff-datadrivenu-psi-overview_20220917.zip As I mention in the video, if you would like a deeper explanation of things or you have any questions, I'm always available for that. Hope that helps. ;o) All the best, Chris F

Hi Jeff, I'm deep into your Google Ad Mastery course. I've got to say, it's excellent. I've learned a lot. But just as important, I see how Google ads can be mastered and used reliably. I'm actually inspired. Great job!

Hi Jeff and Team, I added a comment to the youtube video that was included in this email. ""I purchased the ""GA4 CYA Blueprint Course"" and took the training over a period of 4 weeks. The classes were extremely helpful in understanding ""Google Analytics 4"" and how all businesses will benefit with a professional certified expert in this everchanging field. The course was extremely interactive between Jeff Sauer and the students including the extra time Jeff put in to help the students with relevant issues in their business needs. I highly recommend this method of training, understanding, and obtaining GA4 certification. Overall the training gave me ideas for further putting my career choice in this GA4 direction."" If you want to use this testimonial (or something similar or shorter) in any other future marketing please feel free ... just let me know. That is valid unless I cancel the request in the future for some unknown reason today. Brett

Hi! I yammered on too long during the class, so I didn't want to speak up regarding this... but this is more of what I was thinking when I mentioned having timestamps... https://www.screencast.com/t/3q9nhduhB6 :) I'm trying to gather up the courage to do a testimonial video... I hate being on camera and think I sound like a total goober when I see myself in one. So when I am feeling so bold, I will do a testimonial video and send it in for you. Thanks again for the awesome course. The best part for me now is what once was a very overwhelming interface and concept, is now familiar and not intimidating at all. I may not know everything, but I'm a million times more comfortable in Google Analytics and can confidently roll out a new install on a client's site. That, in and of itself, has been worth it for me. Thank you for all your time in putting this together! If you ever need anything that you think I could help with, just let me know! Suzanne

Jeff Sauer Not concerned at all regarding knowledge and implementing of GA4 since i got your magnificent courses at datadrivenu.com 😉

A mentor in need is a friend indeed If you are a digital agency owner just startup up or grinding out, you will feel overwhelmed by: • lead generation • sales • service fulfillment • account management • financial health • team management • hiring • customer retention Most agencies are striving to survive, not to say thrive. I'm very lucky to have a great mentor to guide my way. Jeff Sauer is one of the best mentors I've ever had in my life. I stumbled upon his project apollo on datadrivenu.com 2 years ago. It taught me how to set a moonshot goal and accelerate my agency like a rocket. It helps me to scale from 5k to 40k revenue per month (99% similar to his case study on the website, although it takes me 2 years instead of 1)! Jeff taught us to: • Don't work IN your business, work ON your business • Be the ""Sales engineer"" of your agency, leverage both technical and sales skills to solve problems for your clients • Whenever you work on numbers in a repetitive task, try to build a calculator for that purpose (in google sheet) • and a lot more... Do you have a mentor that consistently coaches you and shares their experience with you? #digitalagency #salesengineer #ga4

Hi Sean, Thank you for your quick reply and I’m so impressed with your organization and rapid customer service. I didn’t see this email earlier and called again this morning and I think Jeff answered the phone. He said you were on it and YOU WERE!!! Got laid off from my job in December thus the cancellation. Feel good about what you, Jeff and your organization is doing because you contribute greatly to the business world and humanity. REALLY!!! I’m 68-YO and still want to work and contribute. However, I’m having some health issues and will take some time off to get better. I just hope I can re-enter the workforce when I’m ready. Don’t worry I can still play tennis, Pickleball and golf. So I can play as I attack my health challenges in concert. Again, pat your self in the back but then continue your outstanding journey with DDU. All the best professionally and personally, Cathie~

- What was your favorite thing you learned yesterday? *""I learned so much from the workshop as well as validating some of my working theories. I'd have to say that my favorite learned thing was about the parallel campaign strategies. The concept was ""mind-blowing"" and I have already started exploring it with a handful of campaigns."" * - How will you apply what you learned moving forward? *""Right after the workshop I took the parallel campaign strategies and implemented them within a few accounts. I will also be having discussions with my team and clients about the data-driven learnings and best practices Shaun Bond from PPC Samarui presented around campaign structure and strategies.""* - What skill level is this course most valuable for? *""In general I would say Shaun Bond's workshop is geared more for the advanced Google Ads manager, but only because he went into some depth and it might be a bit much for some. However, he does a great job of delivering this deeper level of knowledge which is invaluable. Anybody, regardless of level, would benefit tremendously from going through this workshop. I myself ended up watching it multiple times—it's that great. The insights shared, provide a path to a competitive edge (and a better understanding of the platform). Applying these tactics would be profitable for any ad manager, agency, or client.""* - Would you recommend this training to a colleague? *""Absolutely, in fact as a supervisor of other paid media managers, I'm thinking about requiring it."" *<- @jeff is there a way to share this?

Hi Jeff Thank you so much. I am working my way through the courses I have already ordered so I'm wondering if I can keep you posted on the answer to that question? I just finished the Agency Bootcamp and although I've had an agency for over 20 years - I still got a lot out of it. I wish I qualified for your Apollo program, but I think you'd probably say it's a bit ambitious for me at 70 years old. I'm still very open to ramping up and making things happen which makes me wish I could be a fly on the way during your process. It sounds like a terrific way to start strong. Thanks again - you are a natural as a teacher.

What was your favourite thing you learned today? I can't nail it down to just one as these are going to have a great impact on my campaigns. Manual bidding for brand search, audience observations, advanced bidding set up for Ecommerce, running parallel campaigns with different strategy & structure of intent campaigns. What skill level is this course most valuable for? Advanced Would you recommend this training to a colleague 100% I always recommend your trainings as they are awesome! === Here are some results from two campaigns based on the training if you want to add them in. Delighted with the results :) (NOW) Avg CPC .98 / cost per conversion $10 / conversion rate 10% (BEFORE) Avg CPC 1.40 / cost per conversion $48.20 / conversion rate 3.89% (NOW) Avg CPC 1.31 / cost per conversion $8.30 / conversion rate 15.74% (BEFORE) Avg CPC 1.56 / cost per conversion $22.61 / conversion rate 6.88%

Hi Jeff It was indeed a great workshop and as I said yesterday, it won't be my last one! To be honest, I'm more a beginner in this topic, so I'm not really shure, if you can use my feedback as a testimonial on your website. I would rather answer the questions via mail. So here let's go: What was your favorite thing you learned yesterday ? The importance of having such diversed adgroups with different topics. And mostly, how to deal with them How will you apply what you learned moving forward ? I'll start by march 1st in a swiss pharma company. After getting an idea on how to handle each channel, I will definitely start thinking about setting up different ad groups as learned in your workshop. I will also check, how to optimise budgets and bids based on the inputs you guys gave us. What skill level is this course most valuable for ? Definitely not beginners level. I think, most valuable would this course be for advanced Google Ad users with a few years of experience. Would you recommend this training to a colleague ? Yes of course. Besides the fact, that this course was for free for me, I learned a lot in a very short time ! Things you told us were really hands-on and ready to implement in each ones environment. Can we use your feedback as a testimonial in future marketing for this workshop ? Yes you can, if a) my feedback gives enough « content » for you to use and b) if my english is good enough to be understood by other english native people 😊 -> if you need to chance a few spelling errors or find clearer words for what I was trying to say, feel free to do so… Thanks again and kind regards from Switzerland! Lukas

What was your favorite thing you learned today? As Google Ads search campaigns have evolved from keyword-based targeting to intent- and algorithmic-based targeting, this is the best content I've come across that explains how to understand and think about these changes, and implement new campaign strategies and structures to drive the best results in an increasingly automated (and less transparent) advertising environment. What skill level is this course most valuable for? Intermediate > Expert Would you recommend this training to a colleague? Absolutely

I have some great news and please share with Jeff. I can confidently say that my monthly intake for my business has increased 110% after taking Jeff's classes this year - BCA and the Revenue Renegade workshop. I was reviewing my numbers in a chart Sunday and I was like, dang, I started to make way more money in August...and it was because I implemented some of what I learned. Please send my team 💗💗💗 Also I offboarded a volatile client...and got 3 BETTER CLIENTS!!!!! So promise delivered! Thank you thank you. Cynthia

This [Starting From Zero] is one of the best courses I've ever seen. And I'm saying it from the perspective of someone that took lots of courses. They way you do things in front of the students is awesome, I get to know how you think. It is not just like all of the courses that people say what to do but don't show you how to. I'm still in the second class and I'm already impressed.

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I purchased your FB Ads bootcamp on a whi (what a deal) and I am seriously enjoying it! As a fellow Minnesotan (sorry I'm a Packer fan lol) I can appreciate your humor and accent as well as your genuine approach. Thank you for providing this awesome resource and making your brand aware to me. I am grateful, especially in the age of COVID! ❤

Hey, Jeff! My name is Sunny and I am the co-founder of PortraitFlip :) A few years ago, I took up your course on datadrivenu for understanding more about Google Analytics and Google Adwords. I must say that the results were fantastic! I was able to increase my sales and understand the user behaviour after pursuing your course. I would hence like to share the story of how PortraitFlip became half a million-dollar company with datadrivenu, being one of the major reasons to drive in leads. Looking forward to your reply and thoughts! Thank you and stay golden! Sunny CEO - PortraitFlip

I have spent a year and many courses trying to make this all work and I have so much more clarity from Data Driven in just 60 days. . (and Jeff does not know me ;-)

Hey Jeff, I'm Liam. I've been working in ecommerce digital marketing for about 4 years now. I started out as a self trained graphic designer. Not much under my belt. With a little ambition, I was picked up by a pretty big hitter in the Australian fashion ecomm ecosystem. Very lucky. A position opened up in digital marketing and the rest, as they say, is history. Recently though, I have felt the call... That call to something more. Something bigger. That agency and business empowering call. I have found so much joy in connecting with small businesses in my community to provide them with just simple pieces of advice to encourage them to take their businesses digital. I'd just like to thank you for being so forward and candid in your communications. I've only been a subscriber for a few weeks, but every communication I have received has been very inspiring. Taking the leap into building my own agency has been... well... terrifying. With two small children, a huge mortgage and a lot of hats to wear, I feel like it's a hard slog. But having your support and inspiration has been amazing. I'm certainly weighing up and saving for a years subscription to Insider. (Right after I get a new Gibson ;) ) Just wanted to share some love - keep up the amazing work. You're truly inspiring to so many. Thanks, Liam

Hi Jeff The course has been excellent, and what I've learned from it has been essential. So, thank you for what you did in gifting this to us last year. One of the key things was understanding where GTM needs to operate as the data collector. Another thing was understanding how to identify drop off points. In my charity, this meant being able to see where people were getting lost in our materials, and where our messaging was causing people to exit. I just had one question, which is - are there any plans to update the course for Google Analytics 4? It seems like quite a different beast, and so I just wanted to know if the course will get that treatment? Regards Dean

Great course from Isaac. I had attended or watched all 5 webinars that were meant to ""pre-sell"" the course. Already felt Isaac and Jeff were giving SO MUCH information for free. But the course goes way beyond. Very detailed. Very practical. The downloadables are right on spot and really help putting together your LinkedIn sales strategy, but your sales strategy altogether. Great also to have not only the videos but the transcripts.

Hey guys. First just wanted to say thank you for all the great training. I still have lots to go through but Jeff’s approach, style and demeanor are truly awesome. Also... a couple of the recent emails (especially the one about making time for your business and treating yourself as a client) was a very healthy and necessary reminder and the absolutely perfect time for me. Thanks for that as well. Its pretty awesome knowing that I am backed by someone (and a team) that has been through all the steps I am now going through as a small 2 person shop that is at 100% capacity.

Hi Jeff, Thank you very much for the match. It means a lot to me. I realise I did not update the system and am overdue on expressing my gratitude to you. I listened to your advice of starting to speak to people around me about my freelance marketing work and lo and behold add to the mix good providence and now I have clients and some revenue share projects that fully take up my time. So unfortunately, I won't be able to take on that client. Thank you again for your guidance! That is why I am back for more and being engaged more with your material to continue learning from you. If you could please pause my profile availability for now that would be great. I apologise for the inconvenience this may cause with this client. Thank you again, Warmly, Yakov

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for the detailed and super-helpful response!! Just watched it, and yeah I've downloaded it so I can keep it. It is definitely helping me to look at the picture from a new angle - which is amazing. Have been thinking about my 2-3 year goals and there are still things to clarify - but I do have some idea of it already, so I will get there. Also I get what you say re: things coming naturally vs not. I do have some coding and database querying experience and I normally enjoy that. But I know what you mean; will listen to myself as I go down the learning path for sure. Also wanted to say thank you for the Insiders knowledge base - it has been one of the things that are helping me to get my inspiration back after coming out of a burnout. All the best, Alex

Alllllright folks! It's almost the end of Januari and another client accepted my ""Google Analytics 4"" deal. The entire offer was based on a quick video and a blogpost I in turn based on Jeff Sauer excellent GA4 migration presentation and pdf. You wanna know what is so great about it? After they pay me, I will have earned back the subscription fee for DD Insiders 🙂. And we are only in the first month!

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝗗 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 I've just launched a campaign for a legal niche that's very difficult because of COVID. I used a DD Play and the FB Campaign Structure and FB Copywriting Technique by Logan Michael. I could not implement the Audience technique because the data was not available. Today is the first campaign day and we have 𝟴 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝘁 $𝟯.𝟬𝟬 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱! In a time where coronavirus has affected this niche, this is an excellent first day for the client! If it keeps up, we might even have automatic appointment bookings! 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀!

Had gone through the FB ads Mastery Course. Completely Loved it, I was searching for a course like this, couldn't find any and then saw your course, It's superb, thank you so much for putting all the hard work into it, really appreciate it and Thank you for the course. It has added a lot of value to me.

Thank you so much! Great webinar; enjoyed watching it. Regards, Marko

Hey mate I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing course on Facebook Ads, I really enjoyed and it helped a ton. Especially this video here Sample Play – Ice Ice Baby. Awesome work keep doing what you're doing. Thanks. Marcin

Hi Jeff, I was up at 5.30 this morning to watch two webinars. I had high hopes for the 6 am one by CXL, until I realised that the calendar link went to the registration page and that (when I registered again) I saw that a private link should have been mailed to me (but never was and yes I did check spam). Which is to say that webinars don't always go to plan - I couldn't even get to see that one. Your webinar was at 7 am my time. I was in early so I didn't miss anything. The above story is to let you know that even if you had hundreds of complaints from people who couldn't log in to your webinar right away, webinars can be hit and miss. You can't get in, or they're as dull as dishwater. Great content (I've watched three G4 presentations so far and this was the best). And at the end an offer to good to refuse. I recently signed up for three of your courses including GA Mastery (your Black Friday deal) so was delighted to find you have already added me to Google Analytics 2021. Thank you - that's much appreciated, and I am really looking forward to it. You're probably wondering why I haven't joined DD Insiders, and at this point, I'm asking the same question myself, since you always seem to be adding more value to the Insiders offer! Kind regards, Jeremy

Shoutout to this Release: https://my.datadrivenu.com/.../fb-ads-on-a-budget.../ I have a web development agency as a client and using this structure, we have a under $1AUD CPC for a Traffic Campaign (their instructions, I would have preferred a lead campaign), which is pretty cheap clicks in Australia. We're getting some clicks in for a retargeting campaign next month when I will give them a lead magnet. I'm learning how to promote my own agency through ads through this client, who is an agency, and it's good to have. This is confirming the stuff here works!

And thanks for making great content. I'm in the research phase of starting my own small business and your courses, templates, etc. are fantastic.

I am also finding them very useful. I like that they are very focused and easy to digest. Thanks for doing them. It would be great to have FB mastery as one of the courses available to us since you guys are focusing much more on that now in your own work than on Google Ads. Thanks.

Very good expansion and update from Facebook Ads Mastery. I already plan to implement these measures in my next campaign. We need more of these professional development style workshops. Veena's workshop is another good one

Hi there! I'm taking your GA course which is awesome so thank you for all this very useful information! I struggle with goal value for lead. In your video ""How do you choose goal values?"" you have a budget calculator and you say you could use net revenue per lead as a goal value? When I downloaded the calculator I noticed it doesn't have a net revenue per lead row at all. I wonder if I could I calculate it myself using a product margin? Or what would be the correct way to get the right value for a lead? Thank you already for your help :) Best regards, Amalia

Hi Jeff, Thanks for launching the LinkedIn Jumpstart Lite course. I have signed up for the course and find it really useful for my business development efforts. I can't wait to complete the whole course and implement the strategies. BTW, I have previously also signed up for the 6-day LinkedIn Challenge but couldn't attend all the sessions due to the time difference. I wonder if I can have access to the 6-Day Challenge recordings so that I can review the sharing sessions again. Thanks! Best regards, Kai Li

Hi Jeff, Am almost through your Google Tag Manager course, it's excellent. I need to manage implementation of GTM on a single page platform. Can you please point me in the right direction. We will probably need to hire a consultant/expert to set this up. Trinity

Hey DD Insiders! I want to impress on you, that besides the skills that you learn as a DD Insider, all Insiders benefit from Linked Jumpstart 2.0. I have found this the best lead generation method for myself and when I stopped doing it as often, my sales pipeline suffered. I finished 1.0 and recently blazed through 2.0 and have almost finished it, but for anyone struggling to get clients, this is the Jumpstart you need. I've had real closed deals from this Jumpstart and want to remind all of you because we're Founders and need healthy sales pipelines for our businesses.

Hi Jeff, Thanks a lot for your reply, great insights and you were spot on in your assumptions (first time course, not a brand yet)! I'll go with Facebook and use it to grow my mailing list via a lead magnet. I can already do that right now, even though my course will launch end of June or early July. Later I'll keep that campaign running and create a nice email sequence leading to the course sale. Your video responses inspire me to do the same for my monthly upsale to the course (advice when they're stuck on a hard decision). It's also a great away to discover what new content to create (marketing & new course materials)! I'll check out the membership. I previously bought the Agency, Analytics and Google Ads Mastery. Have to see if it'll fit in my budget for the moment (already got a course on email marketing and a subscription to membership academy this month!). Thanks again and have a great week!

Hi Jeff! How are you? I wanted to let you know that I'm kicking off an Analytics project with a company I was matched with in DD Insiders (Crescent Canna). I wanted to say ""Thank You"" to you and your team for making the connection :) Cheers! Kyle

Hello, Started the training two weeks ago😃 A wealth of knowledge, Thanks all!

Thank you for your video response. I really appreciate it that you took the time to personalise this for me. I will start planning out how to implement this a step at a time as you suggest as the whole picture feels overwhelming. Thank you once again. Best wishes Manmohan Ghatora

"Wow - what a nice response! I especially like the end result of keeping my "dignity", because cold reach-outs are new to me and feel a little icky. But you have outlined a way forward that I think I can adopt. Thank you so much!

Bravo, man! Was trying to get a figure this week. Genius you :))) :D

Jeff, I Think what you are doing for the American business person is a ""real"" touch of class. So for all of them may I say thank you for 90% of those that got your cash flow generator that did not thank you … I AM saying THANK YOU for them. Now, as a CPA since 1976, financial analyst and consultant for over 550+ American businesses - coast to coast … I would like to ""Give"" you something to think about. #1) Teach your clients to reformat their income statements (and also your cash flow pro-forma predictor) using the ""Contribution Margin (aka breakeven) format. In your generator ""generally speaking"" the fixed costs cannot be cut as easily as the variable expenses as ""subtly suggested"" in your current model. #3) The full set of financials (income statement, balance sheet, source use, etc.) are the Effects but never the engine of Causation. I might suggest to you to also offer an ""Executive Dashboard"" predictive template for defining what it is that drives / determines the sales volume changes and the gross margins they produce. I am willing to provide you with some incredible ideas you may not of thought of as of yet … free of charge. No catch. It is my way of really thanking you for what you are trying to do for OUR country. Blessings Lawrence J. Carson II"

Hi Jeff, I hope you are doing well. My name is Daniel de la Flor. I am writing this email to you because I successfully completed your Google Analytics Mastery and I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity of learning GA so easily. As I appreciate your understanding in regards to my personal situation, I would like to share with you some thoughts I had during the Mastery, in case these could help you to optimise contents. I found the level of the classes very appropriately selected. Although I don't own a website and it took me a while to realise that I could use Google's Merchandise Store account to play around with GA. Later, in the advanced lessons, I understood very easily the advantages of using advanced techniques, although I struggled a bit to figure out where to use code. The same thing occurred with GTM. I clearly see its usefulness but again since I do not own a website I couldn't do any hands-on work. I found the videos about Google Analytics Consulting very insightful. Since I haven't worked in this sector yet, they proved very helpful for me to understand which are the stakeholders that I can expect to find as an analyst. Lastly, I found the presentation of a couple of guest lecturers especially interesting: Lea Pica and Talia Wolf. These also helped me to gain some practical insight into what I could do as an analyst in the future. Overall, I am very happy with the Mastery and I don't think there's much room for improvement. All I can say is thank you again for this opportunity, and congratulations on your work with Data-Driven so far. Best wishes, Dani

Your GA Mastery Class is amazing. Best $ I've spent on deepening my knowledge in like… 4 years. Seriously. Keep up the amazing work, I am slowly converting people to the power of ACES one consultation at a time 😊 Alison

Hello Jeff, On a side note, about two weeks after taking your Google Ads training I became Google Search and Shopping certified. My wife and I created the ads over about 2 weeks and did literally 4,000% better in ad sales than the previous four marketing companies I've wasted thousands of dollars with. We are within a few hundred dollars of having profitable ads after 30 days. In fact, I went back through our old ads to see what went wrong and all I can say is amateur hour. Now we know better. Thanks again, Adam Adam Lucero | CEO GoTie

Thanks, Jeff! Our pre-Kajabi platform was Wordpress using OptimizePress and WishList Member. And I'm a current Zapier geek myself! 😎 Love the GA course so far. Enjoy your weekend!

Jeff, I just wanted to follow-up that I have taken your Facebook Ads class and am in the middle of taking your google Analytics class…. I am in fact getting a lot out of these classes with your hands-on instruction and tips and tricks. I have purchased your GTM and Data Studio and looking forward to both. Thank you, Shannon

Thanks for sharing this. To be honest I've got more insights from your 1h video [webinar] than from my 4-year Bachelor's degree.

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate LinkedIn Jumpstart. I really enjoy your teaching style and the strategies simply just WORK. I contacted about 100 people, got to chat with about 20, had a phone call with 5 and won 2 new clients in just one week. If you'd like a recommendation or a testimonial, just let me know.

Jeff and team, today I bought your Bootcamp ads course and I just want to congratulate you guys for putting this amazing, simple yet powerful course. I am so blown away by the content shared in the lessons. I can't wait to finish the course. Thank you very much for making this course available. eddie

I'm working very hard writing a proposal in the middle of the night at close to 9pm. I should be attending tonight's webinar. This is the real deal folks, I get business opportunities at a fair interval. See you tonight (perhaps your daytime), and... 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘑𝘦𝘧𝘧 𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴"

Hi I appreciate your support and your priceless content. Hope you reach many others like me. You have no idea how I struggled and failed before meeting you Sincerely, Tony

Hi Guys, i have to go to play field hockey. But before i go i want to share with you that i’ve started learning ads and analytics last Octobre and found my first customer in Februari, starting in May (due to corona). Now having 4 clients and making 5K a month and growing. So keep up the good work and believe in yourself!

You can make a course about selling used cars and I'll be there. My productivity with GTM course has been so so amazing, and I still have ways to go, yet, my customer's have seen an impact in their websites. Thank you === This email has just made me extremely happy because: You are authentic You are organic I was able to give back from so much you've given to the community. Thank you. Sinceriously,

Your GA Mastery Class is amazing. Best $ I've spent on deepening my knowledge in like… 4 years. Seriously. Keep up the amazing work, I am slowly converting people to the power of ACES one consultation at a time 😊 Alison

After taking your course I was inspired to create my own customized templates for PPC reports, I used these at some of my previous companies and was always prepared for reporting. I'm so glad that I took your course.

Great to be here. Very good timing for me to be in this group. I love the Agency and Sales Jumpstart courses. Thanks, Jeff. The courses are very systematic. Help you understand things from A-Z step by step. Very professional. I am working on building up my freelance practice and also to begin building an agency and these programs are holding my hand in the process. They have rolling access in terms of opening up units so I have only done a couple but so far so good.

I just finished 2 of Jeff Sauer's Data-Driven Courses. Essentially "Linkedin Outreach" & "Agency Survival" Bootcamps! These were uniquely insightful and worthy of my time! I personally don't like data or math. Being a designer, it's something I've always run fast away from. However, I need to acknowledge when it comes to running my own design business, it's pretty handy and data is what highlights "info within the lines" that most companies seem to miss! Try Data Driven!

WoW, Thanks man! This was a hole in one! I'm starting a new venture, this writing has really inspired me. Thanks! Tristan

Thank you for referring us to Bob's Watches. We just got off the intake call where they disclosed the info. It is a great opportunity at a great time and VERY much appreciated. I will let you know if we end up scooping this up and will make sure and make you look good. Feel free to keep 'em coming :) Keep up the great classes and I will keep pushing people to take them!

I've almost completed your Facebook Ads course and I'm in awe of the depth of coverage. It makes me wonder if we could've generated leads at $10-15 each by taking them through each step, from unaware to lead capture, rather than the hail-mary pass we were using. Regardless, I'm determined to launch my freelance digital marketing services and ultimately my agency in the next few months with the help of DD Insiders! Regards Jim

Wow! Thank you Jeff. I never expected to actually hear from you. I added this comment to the video, but thought I would reply here as well. We do qualify for the ad grant. I've just been reluctant to jump into it because it seems so daunting. I really appreciate the encouragement to do less, but do it better. It is so easy to fall into the trap of thinking you can be all things to all people in the nonprofit world. Thank you for all the teaching you share so freely. It has made a huge difference to me and that is one reason I continue to follow you. Danielle Marshall

Just a heads up. You have the best training and content! This is one of the few emails I let in my inbox!

Thanks, Jeff! Such good advice. Be well. --Arlen Card

Just wanted to say that I am really enjoying what I have read so far in Agency Survival Bootcamp. Thanks for the great content.
