Meet The Quarterback
Jon Cogan – Leading eCommerce Businesses to Victory.
I am an award-winning entrepreneur and have been building eCommerce businesses my entire career, spanning almost 20 years.
I have helped brands leverage their online sales to nearly $100 million acquisitions. Just recently, I launched an eCommerce website and marketing program that churned out $3M in sales in its first two months.
I concentrate on helping companies build their online businesses by designing customer journeys, backed with smart technology and marketing programs. I help you drive large volumes of ready-to-buy traffic while providing you with ready-to-sell, conversion and customer optimized eCommerce destinations.
