The new leader of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Chairman Ajit Pai, has said he wants to roll back existing net neutrality rules that prevent big cable companies from discriminating against online companies and services. Ten zillion words have been written about Net Neutrality. Help us send a message from startups and entrepreneurs that his rumored action to undermine net neutrality is not ok.

A few weeks before the FCC vote on Net Neutrality, I spent the weekend in Las Vegas with my dad. Right after we got back I wrote a post about explaining Net Neutrality to him and referenced drawing a picture on a napkin as I explained how the Internet actually works and why Net Neutrality is important. But, lo and behold, my dad sent me an email this morning titled “Net Neutrality Napkin.” The post The Net Neutrality Napkin appeared first on Feld Thoughts.

But when you want to deliver a realistic impression of their added value, have a skilled person from your team or agency correct the projected (or “discovered”) uplift to a more accurate “net value.”. The “net profit” calculation is a better way to estimate the impact of the initial results we get from a series of A/B tests. To give you an indication of the difference between the “discovered” and “net” uplifts, I use the following case of a fictitious company called “DeFacto Ltd.”.

Wong's key points was how the success of our work, as Marketers, is measured based on a lot of things but not often enough based on perhaps the most important metric of them all: Net Income. Net Income is driven by two important variables: Unit Margins (how much you make on each X you sell or Y service you provide). Margin times Volume gives you the golden metric Net Income ! Wong is suggesting, rightly so, that that strategic objective is Net Income.
