"Why don't you just crawl back into your coffin and die, you slimy little maggot," Agnes said. It wasn't that good, but impromptu insults are seldom well crafted.

I'm glad that as a child I learnt what things were called and spent hours matching the word snail to a picture of a snail because now whenever it gets awkward (in text) I can just put the snail emoji and say snail. It's very effective.

If it gets awkward in real life I just say snail out loud and hope they know what it looks like.

If not, I always keep photos of snails on my phone to show them.

...

snail.

(pro tip for other people with no communication skills; among us works just as well but you might be bullied. i still use it despite this because well... uh...)

The Quickest Way to Show Who You Really Are Is by Opening Your Mouth

It’s funny how quickly people reveal themselves, often without even realizing it. They think they’re hiding behind fashion, filters, or carefully curated social media profiles. They stand straight, smile wide, maybe even rehearse a version of themselves they want the world to see. But the moment they speak, the truth comes out. Instantly. Words spill out, sometimes slow and thoughtful, sometimes…

Windle realized that talking to Mr. Shoe was very much like talking to the Archchancellor. It didn't actually matter what you said, because he wasn't listening. Only in Mustrum Ridcully's case it was because he just wasn't bothering, while Reg Shoe was in fact supplying your side of the conversation somewhere inside his own head.

Turkey Among Swans

I made a comment on my social media page last night about feeling like a turkey among swans. I am out among people so rarely that my social and conversation skills are lacking. I found this out while I was out among friends. Now don’t get me wrong, these people have always been good friends to me and my son but its hard to find things to discuss when you’ve not been around each other enough to…

Audit your website's conversion rate optimization (CRO) using Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, or GA4.

**Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)** is crucial for businesses and websites that want to make the most of their digital efforts. It involves enhancing a website or landing page to increase the percentage of visitors who complete a desired action, such as making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or downloading a resource. 

Here’s why CRO is so important:

1. **Maximizes ROI from Existing Traffic**

   - **Cost Efficiency**: CRO increases the value of your existing traffic by boosting conversions without requiring additional marketing expenses. This means you achieve more results (like sales or leads) from the same amount of traffic, thereby maximizing your return on investment (ROI).

   - **Leverage Data**: CRO relies on data and insights, allowing you to make informed decisions that enhance the user experience and lead to better conversion rates without always needing to increase traffic.

2. **Improves User Experience**

   - **Enhanced Usability**: A well-optimized website offers an improved user experience by reducing friction points and making it easier for visitors to complete their desired actions. This may include faster load times, easier navigation, better design, and clearer calls-to-action (CTAs).

   - **Customer Satisfaction**: A positive user experience often results in greater customer satisfaction, which can increase loyalty, encourage repeat business, and generate word-of-mouth referrals.

3. **Reduces Bounce Rates**

   - **Engagement Boost**: CRO efforts, such as refining site design or adjusting content, can encourage visitors to stay longer and explore more, thereby reducing bounce rates and improving engagement.

   - **Better Retention**: By addressing pain points and enhancing the user journey, CRO can help retain visitors who might otherwise leave your site without converting.

4. **Drives More Sales and Revenue**

   - **Higher Conversion Rate Equals More Revenue**: Increasing the conversion rate leads to more leads, sales, or sign-ups, which directly impacts revenue without needing to increase traffic. This is particularly valuable for e-commerce and SaaS businesses, where small improvements in conversion rates can result in significant financial gains.

   - **Tailored Offers**: CRO enables you to customize the customer journey with personalized content, offers, and recommendations, increasing the likelihood of conversion.

5. **Supports Growth and Scalability**

   - **Sustained Growth**: By continually optimizing conversion rates, businesses can enjoy steady growth. Because traffic acquisition costs can be high, improving conversion rates is a more scalable approach to growing a business over the long term.

   - **Agility in Response to Changes**: CRO helps businesses become more agile, allowing them to quickly respond to changes in user behavior, industry trends, or marketing campaigns.

6. **Improves Competitive Advantage**

   - **Staying Ahead of Competitors**: Businesses that prioritize CRO can offer a superior experience compared to their competitors, allowing them to capture market share. A user-friendly, fast, and persuasive website can convert visitors more effectively, giving a significant competitive edge.

   - **Differentiation**: Through CRO, you can set your brand apart by providing a more intuitive and satisfying experience that encourages conversions.

7. **Data-Driven Decisions**

   - **Informed Optimizations**: CRO relies on A/B testing, heatmaps, user behavior analytics, and other data-driven techniques to ensure that decisions are based on real user data rather than assumptions. This increases the effectiveness and measurability of optimization efforts.

   - **Continuous Improvement**: With data at the heart of CRO, businesses can continually enhance and refine their websites, ensuring they evolve alongside changing user preferences and behaviors.

8. **Optimizes Customer Journey**

   - **Personalized Experience**: CRO allows businesses to refine the customer journey at every touchpoint, from awareness to decision-making. This results in a more personalized and frictionless experience, increasing the likelihood of converting users at every stage of the funnel.

   - **Clear CTAs**: CRO ensures that calls-to-action (CTAs) are clearly visible, compelling, and aligned with the visitor’s needs, which improves conversion rates.

**Conclusion**:  

In today’s digital landscape, where competition is fierce and user expectations are high, CRO is not just a luxury but a vital strategy for enhancing business performance. It enables companies to maximize their existing assets, improve user experience, and ultimately drive more revenue—all while spending less on customer acquisition. Businesses can build a more efficient, effective, and scalable marketing approach by optimizing conversion rates.

Some people are impossible to have a conversation with. You give them 3-4 sentences and they respond with two words… Stimulating, thanks for holding up the conversation. Unless we’re talking about them and something that interests them, they have nothing to say.
