Rather than cave when things get tough, optimistic entrepreneurs go analytic, looking for pivots that keep their goals in sight. No entrepreneur is an island, so take the initiative to build an advisory board. They savor relationships, and are generous with themselves and their smarts, so they attract a savvy following.

Data is changing the way that businesses operate, and most of the start-ups that I see achieving success are highly reliant on customer analytics. That’s why companies have advisory boards that get compensated — you usually have to pay for that kind of support and knowledge.

But having been in the middle of this conversation when I served on one of the Defense Department’s advisory boards, I understand why the Pentagon can’t count. The Defense of Department’s 40-plus advisory boards are staffed by outsiders who can provide independent perspectives and advice.

——— Yuri, one of my ex students started a big-data analytics company last year. Finally, I suggested that he find someone he respects on his advisory board, who he was comfortable brainstorming with and would tell him when he has a bad idea. Find a Brainstorm Buddy. Yuri sat quietly for awhile.

End of a minor web analytics lesson on going beyond obvious metrics and never, ever, never forgetting context. Log into the Advanced Segmentation tool in your web analytics tool. If your web analytics tool requires you to call the vendor to set up advanced segments, or re-tag your site to get segments, then switch.

The next best move is to build your core team, e.g., recruit an Advisory Board, Venture Partners, and EIRs. VCs eating their own dog food: Using technology and analytics to make better investments in private companies. However, that may distract you from the larger goal of raising a fund, not just a Special Purpose Vehicle.

We had put together an advisory board, and one of our advisors was the VP of Database Marketing at Schwab. And if you actually want to respond to shifting customer behavior by running a new marketing campaign (ads, email, etc.,) it would again take weeks or months. An Epiphany.

It’s very powerful to have a model that you can email to everyone in the firm, because then everyone sees clearly that you’re communicating the exact same message to the whole team (including outside consultants and the advisory board, if any).

If that person was to join your advisory board, would it change your answer? Are realtime analytics just a fad? Was it spent answering that question? What about yesterday? If you could have an undisturbed lunch with any person currently living, who could be most helpful? Who can we introduce you to? Is it time to spend money?

As I’ve helped entrepreneurs find their own product-market fit and connected them to potential clients, investors, and Advisory Board members, I’ve spent a lot of time telling them about the “cool kids”. Coremetrics invented the enterprise-scale Web beacon (or data tags) data collection for Web analytics. it isn’t easy.

Thanks to Ruben Ugarte, Practico Analytics ! #3- We proceeded to conduct a survey with current and previous clients using them as an advisory board for our re-naming plans. I came across the word Practico during my research which was easy to say in English and carried the meaning that I was trying to convey.

Our growth/product guy is the most analytic, straight to the point kind of guy. Adopt faster, understand the needed set of skills and surround yourself with smart people that have done it before (advisory board is my preferred option). Now the company has better people for every task and I need to manage more and focus more.
