Introduction to A/B Testing

Making changes to your sales strategy needs to happen methodically and carefully. But it can be challenging to measure the effectiveness of one change over another if you don’t have a way to compare options. A/B Testing is an important step in refining strategy because it takes the guesswork out of changes.

What is A/B Testing?

A/B Testing is comparing the effectiveness of two or more processes or features. Records must be randomly assigned to the two different elements being compared. Then whichever element is most successful can be assumed to be the most effective. Using this method, you can test almost anything in your Sales Cadence.

Playbooks Governance

You might already have a Play Committee assembled to discuss how Plays can be improved, gather feedback, and develop strategies. Work with your Play Committee (aka Center of Excellence) to discuss and hypothesize what A/B tests can be employed to get definitive results. Then share  the data from A/B Test to close the loop in sales motion refinement.
