About terrellm

I live on ranch in the Bryan/College Station Texas area (near Texas A&M University) where my wife and I operate Cattlesoft, a company that develops and markets the CattleMax cattle software and operates several niche e-commerce stores for the livestock industry.

I'm always up for discussing technology, marketing, startup business, or of course cattle ranching. My email is terrell at terrell miller dot com.

    The article title gives the puppy image credit but I think the additional text had as much if not more of an impact on the conversion lift than the image. "Start your 30 days free …
