26. 1. Test a single element or test a completely different approach.
2. Be prepared to measure test results.
3. Work on the “Beat the Champ” Principle.
4. Make sure your tests are statistically valid.
5. Analyze your results based on “net” dollar return.
6. Don’t assume someone else’s results will turn out the same
way for your market.
7. Don’t think test results are forever.
8. Avoid the disease of over-testing.

Brian Hold up your left hand. Place your finger just behind your left ear. You are now point to Wernicke’s area, a place in the brain where certain sounds called nouns are attached to the mental images they represent. Now move your finger to just in front of your ear. You are now pointing to Broca’s area, located in the “Triangular portion of the inferior frontal gyrus”. This is where verbs become actions on the projection screen of the what neuroscientists call the “visuospatial sketchpad.” These two areas are linked by a high-speed network of nerves called the “arcuate fasciculus.”Just behind your left ear is Wernicke’s area of the brain. This is where certain sounds called “nouns” are attached to the mental images they represent. Slightly forward of that ear is Broca’s area, where verbs become actions on the projection screen of imagination, the mind’s eye, called the“visuospatial sketchpad” by cognitive neuroscientists. The movie projector we call consciousness, they call “working memory.” The high-bandwidth neural pipeline that connects the two is called the “arcuate fasciculus.” http://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/newsletters/read/1878Image: http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/i/i_10/i_10_cr/i_10_cr_lan/i_10_cr_lan.html

Surprisingly, this loop is also found at the same location in deaf persons who use sign language. This loop would therefore not appear to be specific to heard or spoken language…http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/d/d_10/d_10_cr/d_10_cr_lan/d_10_cr_lan.html#2Localizing the distributed language network responsible for the N400 measured by MEG during auditory sentence processingSpeech is a Left-brain activityChapter 30 of Secret Formulas of the Wizard of Ads, 1999) asserted that Broca's area of the brain anticipates the predictable.

DebraHow do you know it is a weak offer, start to think ‘out loud’ about it. This explains the cognitive processing end.
DebraI can talk about my examples from class, free survey, free estimate, free demonstration (send me a sales person).
DebraI thought this was interesting b/c it is not a physical product but our grads.
