Remember math drills? Even though you got a perfect score on the last test, you still had to work those boring worksheets repeatedly. Why? Because the mind tends to think you know exactly what to do, but then when you are in a test situation, you go blank.

Repeatedly reviewing the basics helped you learn the necessary information.
Likewise it's always a good idea to review the basics of a marketing strategy, such as lead generation strategy, to make sure you have not gone blank on certain aspects.

That, however, is an article for another day.--Jaco.
