37 minutes

Market Proof Marketing · The $3.18 Tomato

Andrew Peek, Jackie Lipinski, and Becca Thomas discuss the idea of paying $3.18 for a tomato. Would you pay that much? How about that much for a lead? They discuss the value of a lead and why it's best to take a step back and analyze data with more context. They also share the story of a builder who just had their most successful virtual community launch on record, how google is updating to have a continuous scroll, and Facebook’s new sunglasses.
