Jared Spool dives into the world of personal interaction with customers, and tells us why we should be focusing more on the experience of visiting a website. If you go beyond numbers and into the minds of your clients, you will see your sales rise.   We discuss: Why customers get frustrated with their online shopping experience, and how to fix it. What metrics you should be focusing on. How to learn from the client experience, instead of relying on numbers.  Measuring your progress in a personal way.   For complete shownotes and more, please head over to www.marketingspeak.com/jaredspool LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED User Interface Engineering (UIE) Center Centre Web Site Usability: Designers Guide Web Anatomy: Interaction Design Frameworks that Work.
