Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

Numeracy is the foundational skill at the heart of so many of the money-making decisions you make every single day as an entrepreneur. From figuring how much to pay your staff, interpreting financial statements, to pinpointing whether you're getting any ROI on your expensive hires, this is the skill that not only helps you make more profit, but live a better life.

Eleanor is speaking to Dr. Ellen Peters, the Philip H. Knight Chair and Professor in both the School of Journalist and Communication as well as Psychology at the University of Oregon. She's also the Director of the Center for Science Communication Research, where her research largely looks at the basic building blocks of human judgment and decision-making: emotions and number abilities. She's sharing why we cannot leave our numeric ability behind in the classroom, the consequences of being functionally innumerate, and what happens when we become more numerate.

One of the biggest fears entrepreneurs face is that their offers won't sell, and it's not an entirely irrational fear. When your service, consulting or coaching offers aren't designed with users in mind, you can experience low to no sales, especially on group programs.

Ximena Vengoechea was a UX researcher, mentor, and manager at LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest. She shares the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when designing new offers and the kind of mistakes that result in low or no sales. Ximena walks you through a simple approach to conducting effective user research so you can speed up sales by tweaking or creating offers customers actually want, and the best practices when it comes to conducting user interviews.
