Introduction to My Blog

Hello all that read this. The purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts on projects and tasks that I am currently working on. This will help me to better organize my thoughts by getting them down "on paper" but also to publish my thoughts so others with more experience or different points of view can provide feedback to me. I'm won't post specific details on what I'm working on because it's important to me to maintain confidentiality with my employer and clients. Along with posting my original thoughts I will share articles and blog posts that I have read and was interested in.

Here is a brief list of subjects that I enjoy and have a passion for. Most of the posts will probably be about one of these topics.

  1. Customer Experience
  2. Consumer Demographic Analysis
  3. Market and Sales Analysis
  4. Marketing Strategy
  5. Process Improvement
  6. Microsoft Excel tricks
  7. Non-verbal Communication
  8. Social Media Applications
  9. Technology and Gadgets

I have a passion for conducting research and analysis and then turning those findings into actionable strategies for a business. The most rewarding work I've ever done almost always included digging into to data or business intelligence, making sense of it, and implementing tactics and strategies around what I find. It takes a lot of hard work and sometimes it's frustrating but the more hours I work at it, the better insights I get.

I'm going to stick to business related topics as often as I can. This blog will (hopefully) not steer into my personal life too often. Obviously my opinions on the subject matter I'm writing on will come out but I want to avoid the posts about vacation trips, what our cats did today (the answer is ate, slept, and destroyed furniture in some order), or my rants on my favorite sports teams.

If you stumble upon this blog and read this post, please give me feedback on what you liked and didn't like. I want your feedback; I only ask that you keep professional. I promise to do that same.
