Work to understand your PPC performance.
You can
know your metrics, but without providing context to your performance, you (and your boss) are flying blind.
For example…
Слайд 14Tip #8: Understand Your Role
Understand how you fit in to
the bigger picture.
How are leads tracked in your system? Who gets them? What’s the sales cycle like?
What about ecommerce? What are your margins? How can you help hit goals? Go beyond the click!

Слайд 16Tip #9: New Ideas

Слайд 21Tip #10: Project Management
I hope you like To-Do Lists.
You don’t
need software for this (Basecamp, Outlook, etc.), but it can help.
Plan in advance– a little bit of foresight can give you and your team the time you need to handle a large task.
Слайд 22Tip #11: Be Flexible
The best-laid plans oft go awry.
Leave yourself
some flexibility to handle top-priority tasks.
Слайд 23Tip #12: Be Proactive
Pulling reports can be useful for you
too.
The analysis involved can alert you to performance issues.
Don’t let things slide in the hopes they go unnoticed. Point it out, offer an explanation, and say what you’ll do about it.
Слайд 24Tip #13: Read Between the Lines
Ask questions.
If your boss/client isn’t
enthused about what you’re enthused about, dig deeper!
Find out what their real goals/priorities are.
What’s really upsetting them?
