Spend SMALL money to learn and test ideas before you spend medium or big money on advertising.
One of the keys to transcending “Founder-itis” (dependency on the founder), and developing repeatable cost-per-acquired-client / cost-per-closed-deal is learning and refining your sales funnel.
We’ve just launched a simple tool that will get smarter and more integrated with time and will soon allow for split testing (to compare A vs. B, or “multi-variate” ABCD tests). Using this system is essential to campaign profitability (or another like it).
To get started, click….
- RED – Marketing >> Marketing Experiments in the sidebar
- Next, click Add New top right, and fill in some data – what, precisely, do you want to learn or test?
- Give it a “slug”, which is a short bit of letters and numbers that will get inserted into tracking-URLs. No spaces allowed, and no special characters like punctuation. Slug should not be changed once traffic has started to it.
- You can optionally give it a cost. I usually put in a “sketch amount” at the beginning, then later, change it to the exact spend, so you can determine cost-per-lead or cost-per-sale. You can change this at any time.
- Click Save, of course and it will add into the table below
- Next, on the the left sidebar, click “Tracking URL Creator”. Be sure to use this to create “tracking URLs”, which will work with both Google Analytics and also SwiftCloud
