3 Reasons Marketing OPS Professional Should Test Everything They Build

Testing? Who has time for that? Not many marketers. That’s the unfortunate truth. With email campaigns, webinars, landing pages and advertising campaigns piling up, you’re probably testing one thing and moving on to the next to keep up with demand. It’s all fun and games until something breaks. Then you you need to contend with the proverbial evil-looking steampunk cat in the room and spend hours troubleshooting errors, fixing setups, corresponding with platform technical support, and giving updates to angry demand gen or sales departments. GOOD TIMES.

Let’s say you’re one of the lucky few who does have the time and resources for lead and campaign testing. It likely involves keeping track of robust and complex Excel spreadsheets that help you test everything from lead score attribution, lead distribution, data field continuity and multivariate testing information. Who doesn’t love giant excel spreadsheets that keep track of detail upon detail?

Lead and campaign testing might seem like that pesky fly that is buzzing around you at an otherwise pleasant picnic in the park, but you might be missing critical opportunities if you’re not doing it right.

REASONS TO TEST

Maximize ROI
You know what’s awesome? Knowing that money-making data is going to the right place. Testing everything you build ensures that leads are routed to the right queue, at the right time, with the right information. In addition, you know that leads are always delivered to sales on time to be followed-up on asap for the best response. Lead scores are assigned accurately and allow nurture and drip campaigns to trigger as they should.

When your marketing flow is working correctly, more opportunities and pipeline revenue are created. And when more opportunities are created, your boss is happy. And when you boss is happy, you get raises. We all like raises.

When you automate testing, you can be notified as soon as any errors or issues arise so that you can fix them before they become large issues. True story. And what if I told you that you can control the narrative around any issues and broadcast when, and to whom, you need to. But heed my advice and don’t wait until sales comes to you to know there is an issue or you might find yourself hiding under your desk until a grumpy sales person leaves your cube.
