4 Essential Steps of Big-Hearted Change For Our New World Rising, by Marcia West, shows how to use the problems, changes, and decisions of your life to support your growth, bring forth your truest self, and live from your heart.

Chicago, IL, USA — Marcia West’s 4 Essential Steps of Big-Hearted Change For Our New World Rising is a guidebook for change that serves the highest good of all involved. The process and tools are appropriate for individuals, families, organizations, communities, countries, and the world at large. A new approach to change is offered that originates in the heart. It works because it comes from love and a consciousness far beyond that of the mind alone.

Logic is a wonderful thing. But logic is not a workable foundation for change that truly makes a difference. We are moving into the unknown. Logic will not take us there. In fact, the mind cannot lead us in this endeavor. It doesn’t know the way. We must allow our hearts to guide us. 4 Essential Steps of Big-Hearted Change shows you how. ~Marcia West

CleverTap Introduces Live User Segments – an Industry First Approach for Analyzing User Behavior in Mobile Apps

CleverTap is pleased to announce an industry first: the ability to segment mobile app users based on behavior in real-time, offering instant, personalized engagement – with proven results.

San Francisco, CA, USA — CleverTap, a leader in mobile analytics and engagement, announced Live User Segments, a new capability for evaluating a user’s behavior as it happens in an app. Live User Segments run continuously and act like a real-time filter on a user’s behavior. Users are dynamically added to segments the moment their behavior matches pre-defined criteria.

App developers and marketers use Live User Segments to do real-time monitoring and analysis of critical user flows such as onboarding and conversions. Marketing campaigns using push notifications, email, SMS and browser notifications, can be automated to message users exactly when they complete a specified activity or sequence of activities, or even upon inaction, when they do not perform a desired activity within a specified amount of time, which could be in minutes, hours or days.

“Live User Segments are the cornerstone of our app engagement strategy,” said Revant Bhate Head of Marketing at Faasos. “We deliver thousands of meal orders during the lunch hour but if a customer doesn’t complete an order by 12:15, we’ve lost that purchase. Our Live User Segments campaigns run continuously and identify customers we’re about to lose, and send them personalized push notifications with incentives to buy. We’ve seen a 30% lift in our conversions.”

Live User Segments is the latest addition to what is the most advanced behavioral segmentation tool available for businesses today. Whereas other tools allow you to segment audience based on simple rules such as a single user activity or user property, CleverTap is the only platform that allows segmentation based on any comprehensive set of actions or inactions a user performs in an app. Segments can look backward at past user behavior or, with Live User Segments, can evaluate user behavior as it happens, adding them to a segment in real-time.

“The key to any app’s success is knowing who your users are and how they experience your app,” said Paul Brody, Chief Product Officer for CleverTap. Segments can be monitored against KPIs (show me 30 day retention for 2nd time purchasers), compared to each other, used to automate engagement campaigns or sent to a webhook endpoint for use by other systems such as a CRM. And with Live User Segments, said Brody, you can now drive immediate user engagement or power the dashboard on the CEOs desk to show real-time, dynamic metrics on everything from who’s in the app right now to the total number of conversions in the past hour or day.”

Live User Segments will be available to all customers in July and is included as part of all CleverTap plans. Pricing is designed to place the tool within reach of startups with affordable plans that allows up to one million events per month, free.

Kirk DeWindt Personal Training Expands Services and Grows Fitness Team

Kirk DeWindt Personal Training is now providing obstacle course race personal training in Robinsdale, MN.

Robinsdale, MN, USA — Kirk DeWindt Personal Training (KDPT), a personal training company based out of Robinsdale, MN, is expanding its services to include preparation for obstacle course racing. Focused on agility, speed, and endurance, the premier fitness training services help individuals hone the skills necessary to perform at a high level in obstacle races. To meet the increased demand for obstacle course race training, KDPT (http://www.kirk-dewindt.com) is growing their team with the hiring of an additional personal trainer. The new trainer will offer a wide range of personal training specialties and be available for sessions in early June.

Over the last decade, obstacle course racing has exploded in popularity throughout the country garnering more popularity than marathons in recent years according to USA Today. An accomplished obstacle course racer in his own right, DeWindt noticed the lack of obstacle course race training services currently available and saw an opportunity to help people achieve their goals.

“Obstacle course racing is all about challenging yourself to become better,” said DeWindt, owner of Kirk DeWindt Personal Training. “Through these personal training sessions, I strive to not only help people perform better in races, but also discover a strength inside of them they didn’t realize was there.”

KDPT’s obstacle course race training sessions specifically target agility, speed and endurance. Sessions are structured to combine these different fitness aspects and gradually increase in intensity to continuously challenge and grow a client’s ability level.

To support the Minneapolis personal trainer’s growing client base, DeWindt has hired an additional trainer, Travis Eisenbraun. This team expansion will allow KDPT to offer even more specialized personal training options for obstacle course racing and beyond.

“Travis specializes in helping clients meet their strength building and fat loss goals,” said DeWindt. “His positive attitude is contagious and he has an undeniable passion for fitness.”
