TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

[00:27] Today’s Topic: How to Run and Manage Your Marketing Experiments
[00:35] Neil likes to use Trello to manage his marketing experiments.
[00:45] Everyone puts their ideas on the board and then they pick the best ones.
[01:00] Don’t spend six months on something that doesn’t work. Start with smaller experiments.
[01:22] Eric uses Asana Premium to organize his experiments.
[01:58] GrowthHackers Northstar is a great tool, but Neil thinks they won’t be around much longer.
[02:25] Make sure you’re spending time and energy on things you can get done quickly.
[02:50] Everyone had a different perspective, which is why it’s great to get input and ideas from everyone on your team.
[03:31] Only 1 in 12 experiments actually succeeds.
[03:48] Neil thinks that stat means that whoever is running your experiments sucks.
[04:05] Don’t forget to do qualitative studies.
[05:15] If you’ve been running experiments for a long time, this is when you need to do something more drastic and crazy to move the needle.
[05:45] Northstar uses the ICE Framework.
[06:07] Eric recommends that you read Managing Oneself by Peter Drucker, a management guru.
[06:45] You should have a feedback analysis tool to see who on your team is killing it.
[07:05] If you’re not being scientific about your experimentation process, you are going to fly off the rails.
[07:30] Don’t operate solely off your “gut feeling”; use qualitative and quantitative data to come to your conclusions.
