Is your data giving you the full picture?

This morning, I read the following in an email newsletter I receive regularly from a research company:
 
68% of consumers surveyed...say they order carry-out pizza once per month compared with 24% in 2010.
 
To the casual reader, this might be interpreted as: “More consumers are ordering carry-out pizza now than two years ago.” This may very well be true. 
 
BUT, the reverse may also be true. What that data point fails to convey is what is happening to the other consumers surveyed. There are 32% (100%-68%) of consumers that order carry-out pizza either never, or perhaps as many as 2, 3, or more times a month. 
 
So, it may actually be the case that 32% of consumers are ordering carry-out pizza 2 or more times per month now, compared with 76% (100% - 24%) in 2010. In other words, more people are ordering fewer carry-out pizzas now. So, the total number of carry-out pizzas sold is actually less. 
 
 
So, which is it? Is there more or less carry-out pizza being ordered?  
 
We can’t tell from the data.

Breaking Bread

Christie BrockhageBy:  Christie Brockhage

 

We all need to eat lunch. Right?

 

So, rather than sitting at your desk, cramming in the emails and the cafe's special of the day, make a plan to maximize your lunch time and expand your network by breaking bread with someone.

 

It can be a client or prospect, someone you know or someone you just met at a recent networking event or the new co-worker that you've barely had a chance to say hello to! Having challenges with a client? Now is the perfect time to set up a lunch meeting!

 

Once a week, make a plan to expand your professional network over lunch. There is something special that happens when breaking bread with someone. It will be tasty and educationally nutritious...Bon Appetit http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/bonappetit.htm
