Summary

Learn the behind-the-scenes story of how Match.com rose from a small, unknown internet startup to having a value of over $30 billion, earning recognition in households across the globe. Match.com took a different approach to creating bonds and has changed the way relationships are discovered. However, in its early days, the path to success wasn't clear-it was filled with questions, challenges, and obstacles that almost completely derailed the entire company. With "Game, Set, Match!," go back in time and experience the early days of Match.com, learning what helped take a small startup to ultimate success. Inside, discover lessons that can help build skills in teamwork, transparency, practicality, decision-making, whiteboard fallacies, chemistry, analytics, testing, initiative, restraint, marketing, deal-making, internationalization, customer service, communication, preparation, measurement, pricing, hiring, leadership, and more! This book will describe real-life events and results that occurred during Mike Presz's 35+-year-long career with Match.com. The knowledge provided is certain to produce major company results, which is the ultimate goal of all winning companies-and everyone wants to play for the winner.
