“When Elizabeth was being pursued as a potential candidate to lead the CommerceHub Search team, I was brought in to drill her. I had been acting director of Search, but was excited to be on my way to product management. However, I was not going to settle and let the role go to just anyone. I wanted a professional. I wanted an industry leader that wasn't just about buzzwords and good at schmoozing. I wanted someone who could manage an eclectic group of people and play off their strengths rather than see them as names on a ledger. I wanted a voice of authority that could handle the day to day of e-commerce, but also roll with seasonal chaos. Our initial 30 minute, 4 PM interview turned into an hour and a half of exchanging information on the industry as a whole, its mercurial nature, and pontificating on the future of Search. We discussed challenges of managing eccentric personalities you get in an industry that needs creativity, but thrives off of mathematical prowess. We even delved into subjects around the industry that were underground or obscure. Needless to say, I was sold. I spent almost two years working in Product. Planning, designing, and guiding teams that built e-commerce software for Amazon, Google, Facebook, and more with her as my partner and guide. We accomplished more than I plausibly could on my own in those short years. During that time, her thought leadership and knowledge evolved beyond just Search marketing and into one of the pinnacles of holistic e-Comm strategy I've had the pleasure of which to work. She proved her aptitude year after year being invited to speak at SMX and similar industry events. When I became disenfranchised in product management, Elizabeth asked me to join her team as an engineer to build efficiencies tools and to provide a more holistic way of delivering value to our customers. She knew I had the perspective and skill to do so. She played off my strengths to empower me, the e-Commerce team, and the company as a whole. I proudly took the role as her direct report. Whether it be customer in the pipeline or existing, employee or colleague, vendor or partner, Elizabeth's greatest skills is understanding people. How they tick. How to negotiate with them. What she can do to guide them towards becoming their best selves. She empowers individuals to thrive as a singular contributor, a force for their teams, and an asset to the company. She doesn't just see the "bodies in seats". She sees the potential of those bodies and builds team dynamics from that potential. I miss working with and for Elizabeth. Were our paths to cross and there were an opportunity to do so again, I would leap at it. I know most of her colleagues and staff would say the same. Elizabeth is a professional. She is an industry leader without the fluff. A mentor that nourishes personal and professional growth. Her integrity is resolute. Her resolve is vehement. I am better because of her. ”

4 Common PPC Mistakes That Are Sending Crappy Leads to Your Landing Page
Unbounce
Pairing your PPC campaigns with a landing page is one of the best ways to secure a high conversion rate, but only if they’re working together toward the same goal.
It all boils down to this: If you’re sending poor quality traffic to your landing page, then your conversion rates will suffer. Just as you can’t take back the fact that you just mistook your new girlfriend’s mom for her grandma, it’s pretty critical to get it right on the first impression. -
