Publisher's summary

When the world’s biggest brands want to sharpen their digital marketing strategy, they call Neil Hoyne–Google’s Chief Measurement Strategist and Senior Fellow at the Wharton School. In his first book, he offers a simple, research-backed playbook that anyone can use to find their best customers and develop relationships that last.

Under pressure for quick results and facing fierce marketplace competition, too many marketers are boxed into spaghetti-to-the-wall forms of digital marketing that limit the potential of their long hours, countless experiments, and warehouses of data. And in the end, they watch their competition sprint ahead.

But what if you built a business around long-term relationships with customers, using data to understand who they are, what they need, and where to find more customers just like them? You can. And you’ll leave your competitors, with all of their data and their short-term thinking, to poke around in the scraps. In Converted, you will learn how to:

• Understand the full value of each relationship.
• Engage in an ongoing conversation with your best customers.
• Ask the right questions so you can anticipate your customers’ needs.
• Find more great customers.

A real person is always on the other end of the transaction. Converted shows you how to win their hearts.

Every CEO, CFO and CMO should read this

I was saved from some stupid, expensive mistakes I was about to make. This book is filled with actionable ideas and important questions we all should be asking. I’m guessing it will make me money.

Great

Had no idea what the book was about before downloading, glad I did. Great listen, insight, and overall book!

This is an insightful book that will help marketing leaders easily present data and new ideas. If you are a marketer who reports into sales leadership- get this book for them - or consistently feed them information and ideas from this book!

Amazing perspective from a master

Neil's brilliance is in taking the problems we all face in data and measurement and cutting through the noise with simple approaches where you can win by simply learning, trying and finding the right means of communication. Brilliant.

my mind was figuratively blown

I am just a baby splashing in a sink pretending I know how to interpret data and Neil is a gold medal breast-stroke swimmer. (he probably works out 🤫)

Buying a second copy

This book is fantastic. It covers how to maximize CLV using data, misconceptions of data and how to spot them, and tips from some of the best companies in the world and how they optimize their data.

Buying a physical copy separately so I can highlight and take notes.

Best marketing book I’ve read

I manage marketing for a startup so I read a ton of books. I just told my team this is all mandatory reading which I havnt done before.

Worth the time and money

In the business and marketing world a thing of two you can learn and put it into practice can make a huge difference. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will definitely read (listen) again.
