CROs are infallible. We believe data! We trust science over opinions! We are LITERALLY never wrong, right?
Well, sometimes we may be right, but we can still be rude about it. đź«Ł And no one wants to work with that one guy who, while they may be right, has to let everyone know how right they are EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
I enlisted the help of Michael Aagaard, nicknamed "Shrek" (for very good reasons...) to explore how it is that some #CROs may actually be problematic. And how their own behavior may actually be the reason why CRO and experimentation isn't being adopted or used in an organization.
We got into:
- Messaging and tone matters. You may be right, but HOW you say it may be the difference between "let's run that test" and "I fucking hate that idea"
- You're in the wrong industry if you are "testing to be right"
- Balancing "confidence" without being "arrogant" as a CRO
