POINT ONE

We need a simple, systematic way to discover the changes we
should test.
Timeline
MarketingExperiments was the first Internet-based research lab to conduct
experiments in optimizing the conversion rate of sales and marketing processes.


        1987     Preliminary Research Begins

        1997     Research Program Established

        2001     First Research Report Published

        2002     Testing of Research Partnership Model Begins

        2003     O/R=Oz Theory Validated

        2006     Patent Filings for Research Findings (10 Heuristics)
Heuristic
• In philosophy, especially in Continental European philosophy,
  the adjective "heuristic" (or the designation "heuristic device")
  is used when an entity X exists to enable understanding of, or
  knowledge concerning, some other entity Y.

• In human-computer interaction, heuristic evaluation is a
  usability-testing technique devised by expert usability
  consultants.

Four Key Questions
                                        1.   Why should my ideal prospect
C = 4m + 3v + 2(i-f) - 2a         ©
                                             purchase from me rather than any of
                                             my competitors?

                                        2.   How can I minimize all of the elements
                                             in my sale path that cause
VC                                           psychological resistance?

                                   VI   3.   How can I counter the remaining
                                             psychological resistance with extra
                                   VI        incentive?

VC                                      4.   How can I over-correct all of the
               VC = Value Contributor        elements which cause psychological
               VI = Value Inhibitor          concern in my sale path?
POINT TWO

We need to apply this methodology to live landing pages.
