The Retention Equation.

Discover how Richard uses KPIs (key performance indicators) to build his retention equation. He keeps it simple and effective by creating, executing and measuring. Whether you build through trial and error or following industry best practices, building community is the key. Richard sees himself as a community steward. Influential content is the differentiator.
