Ep. 14 Jon MacDonald's CRO Starter Pack

Jon MacDonald is one of the world’s top CRO experts and he just came out with a book outlining the principles that have allowed him to lead brands like Nike and Adobe success and longevity. In this conversation with Jason, he breaks down some of the laws of Conversion Rate Optimization with advice for how any company can use data to increase customer retention.

In this episode Jason asks Jon MacDonald, the President and Founder of The Good - a CRO firm - about the CRO principles that have led him to success. First Jon addresses the idea of small improvements: if you are trying to increase conversions, the best place to focus is the top 10%. Then he lists some common misconceptions about CRO that he has seen over and over again in the last decade - and how to properly approach them. CRO does require some specialization, so John tells Jason his best practices for building a team that can combine data analytics, creative and marketing seamlessly and he also gives advice to the businesses out there who might not yet be at the stage where having a whole CRO team is affordable. Finally, he gives a great step-by-step run down of how to gather information from customers about what works and what doesn’t in your store, and how to use that information wisely to give your brand longevity and to keep your customers coming back.
