Not how many likes your "kitty pawing at your shoelaces" boomerang video received last month.

Don't worry, we've included a kitten video below for your viewing pleasure. Okay...Okay... We wanted to watch it a few times too.

3. If you are getting leads digitally,  Are the majority of your leads really that "qualified"?

4. What are your conversion rates? What should they be?

5. How relevant is our current website traffic?
