- Let’s start at the end with the real attention grabbing stuff – let’s talk about results. Your goal was to convert more online traffic to leads across SAP’s integrated marketing portfolio. How’s it going so far Shawn?
- Which types of tests have been most effective for you?
- Very impressive. Let’s rewind now and start at the beginning to see what our listeners can learn about testing from your story to replicate your success in their own organizations. Before working at SAP you worked at Wunderman, the legendary direct marketing agency. A big aspect of direct marketing is testing. I know I personally first learned about testing in Lester Wunderman’s book, “Being Direct.” What did you learn at this agency that helped inform your effort at SAP?
- Now you are the Global Vice President of Digital Marketing at SAP. SAP is a global company and you’re based in Paris. What was SAP’s testing like before you started this initiative?Who did you have to convince to make a change, and how did you do it?
- Let’s look at the steps you took to create a culture of testing at SAP. As I mentioned, you’re in Paris and this is a global business. However, the company is headquarter in Germany, with other offices around the world. And according to SAP’s latest annual report, there are 61,344 employees at the company. Talk about complexity. How did you create a consistent methodology and process for testing across such a large, multinational company? (We’ll talk at a high level, and start getting to more specifics in question 7 and the questions that follow)
- Having processes and methodologies is all well and good, however, change is difficult. I think everyone listening in would agree, just because we know we should do a certain thing, doesn’t mean we do it. We tend to get stuck in the way we’ve always done things. So how did you change the marketing culture itself so marketers were bought into testing? Any bumps along the way? (We’ll talk at a high level, and start getting to more specifics in question 7 and the questions that follow)
- OK, now that we’ve looked at your methodology and culture at a high level, let’s get to more specifics. So when I first read about your story in Target Marketing, the article talked about SAP building an internal test lab. What exactly is a test lab?
- What testing resources have you equipped the marketers in the test lab with? Have you established a specific test framework, a repeatable process that your team uses for every test?So when I’m listening to this, if I were a marketer in the company, I would think this is fantastic. There’s a lot I want to test. And I’ll send it over to your test lab. The challenge is, once you multiply that across many, many marketers, unless your resources are unlimited, you will quickly run into a logjam. How do you prioritize tests?
- All right, we’ve talked a lot about how you test. Let’s take a look at one of those in-market tests you ran. Which market did you run this in, what were you trying to learn, and what were the results?
- Beyond changes you made in this individual test, how did you use what you learned to affect other marketing across the company?
- What advice would you give to the marketers listening in about setting up their own test labs?What’s next? How are you going to maintain the momentum and perhaps expand your testing?
