			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Sales contests inevitably make me think of this scene from GlenGarry Glen Ross <em>(contains adult language)</em>.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TROhlThs9qY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TROhlThs9qY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>At <a href="http://ManagingTheEdge.com">Managing The Edge</a> we are having our own kind of sales contest. Doug and I are both writing sales copy for our <a href="http://managingtheedge.com/twitterforbusiness" title="Twitter For Business Course">course landing pages</a> and we are having a contest to see who can generate the most conversions&#8230;</p>
<p>How are we doing it? A/B split tests using <a href="http://www.google.com/websiteoptimizer">Google Website Optimizer</a>. Basically when you go to http://ManagingTheEdge.com/TwitterForBusiness you will be served either one of two pages &#8211; my sales page or Doug&#8217;s. It requires very little setup and everything is tracked through Google Analytics. It&#8217;s a no-brainer if you are running ads or selling stuff online!</p>
<p>Yes &#8211; we&#8217;ll be discussing this in a future podcast!</p>
