We had an all company meeting yesterday, so I thought I’d share some thoughts on them.
First, we have a few different All Hands Meetings at Wayfair:
- SEO Team All Hands – Monthly
- Marketing Department – Bi-Monthly
- All Company – Quarterly
At the highest level, I enjoy all three of these routine meetings. I find it energizing to take a step back from the strategy and tactical execution to digest some larger business content or marketing specific information.
For example, I was reminded repeat customers placed 75% of orders in Q1. This is a huge sign of the value we’re delivering to customers and is exciting to be part of.
I also enjoy listening to leadership share their perspective. I used to sit quietly and listen to hockey coaches share their perspective on the sport so maybe that is where it comes from. When the game starts, is when listening mostly stops and execution picks up.
