Our CRO Trends That Need to Stop Event is LIVE!!!
On May 13, Experiment Nation kicked off a week-long event entitled "CRO Trends that Need to Stop". It features speakers from around the world sharing their opinions on CRO trends that have jumped the shark and what CROs should do instead. Here are the sessions:
Stop villainizing HIPPOs with Nima Yassini
Stop Cherry-Picking Metrics with Jyoti Malik
Stop designing first and writing copy after with Magdalena Baciu
When not to listen to customers with Tim Thijsse
7 Reasons You're Losing Sales By Being Too Smart with Khalil Guliwala
Stop Ripping Off Test Ideas From the Internet with Tracy Laranjo 🍊
The myth of low-hanging fruit with Deborah O'Malley
Stop testing stuff you see in case studies with Amrdeep Athwal
Join our Slack and shoot the sh*t with CROs from around the world
Chat with others in the CRO community. Ask each other questions. Get links to our exclusive content. Hang out at our CRO Therapy sessions. Just say hi and make a friend. To be honest, it will likely be chaotic - so brace yourselves.
CRO Therapy: Our Latest Experiment
Sometimes, Experimenters just need to blow off some steam and vent about problems they are having or simply have a casual chat with folks with sympathetic ears. If you’re in need of a session like this, join us on May 17 at 1 PM EST for our first (but hopefully not last) CRO Therapy session hosted on the "cro-therapy" channel of Experiment Nation’s Slack. The session will NOT be recorded so folks can speak freely (within reason of course). Hope to see some of you there!
