In this episode, Chuck shares how in a world where internet sales is a black box of ad agencies who blame the sales page for lack of return on ad spend (ROAS), and landing page teams blame the offer for low conversion rates, eCommerce owners need a technical expert that can shine a light into the sales process and find the gaps. Over the past decade, Chuck’s technical expertise in website conversion has been used to grow companies from 6 to 7, 8, and even 9 figures. This exponential growth can be attributed to his holistic approach to improving website performance and then driving conversions. Most small to medium-sized businesses are unable to afford a full-time chief technology officer (CTO), so this critical role is layered into other people’s job responsibilities and often done poorly. Chuck saw this issue and created a fractional CTO model that allows these companies to get access to the knowledge they desperately need.

Tweetable Quotes:
“That’s one of the biggest things that I think has come into play for me recently is having like-minded people with goals that are really trying to work in a direction, and I can’t emphasize how important that is, to have that at some point in your career and then going forward, because I think that drives you to be better.” – Chuck Brockman
“Your rate of progress tends to increase because there’s a certain momentum that is built, whether it is looking at or helping someone else as they’re achieving what they want. And you get inspired and you start doing a little bit more, and then you start talking and then they talk back and everything starts to kind of just accelerate.And I think it’s really important to surround yourself with a community that’s growing and that supports you.” – Dr. James Bryant
