What the Heck does Chris Do?
Chris is an analytics and conversions expert. In layman's terms, Chris goes into his clients' websites and sets up tracking. This allows him to see what pages are being viewed, what buttons are being clicked, opt-in rates and other fun stuff.

Google vs. Apple
Gathering information and knowing what to do with it are polar opposites. Google has lots of great tools but there isn't a friendly interface connected with them. If Google Analytics were created by Apple, you would know exactly what to do.
Instead, you have a bunch of analytics that might look might look a bit like Chinese to most. Â To leverage the power of that information, you must be able to make sense of it. That's what Chris does.

Growing Up
Chris's parents spanned the career path spectrum. Chris's dad was the typical corporate America man. He wanted Chris to go to college, get a job and stick with it for the rest of his life.
“As an entrepreneur you work any half day you want. You pick any 12 hours of the day you want.” – Chris Mercer
His mom, on the other hand, was a serial entrepreneur. She sold vacuum cleaners door to door, started cleaning companies and other ventures. She was always willing to try something new.
Chris like both aspects. He liked the structure of corporate America. He also loved the idea you can create your own systems as an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur is Chris's arena, he loves it.
“There is no job security, the security is me, I make it.” –Â Chris Mercer
