Understanding the Challenge

AB Tasty sits at the core of experimentation, personalization, and digital decision-making. In Spain, the key challenge is not awareness, but helping teams make experimentation a structured, revenue-driving practice.

01

Market Context

Spanish companies are moving from "having digital presence" to "making digital profitable." Experimentation is still seen as tactical, not strategic.

02

The Opportunity

Position AB Tasty as a decision engine that enables confident, scalable experimentation, not just another CRO tool.

03

My Approach

Consultative, value-first sales. Focus on business problems first, engage multiple stakeholders, and build long-term partnerships.

  • Vertical messaging: Refine positioning for travel, retail, banking

  • Partner collaboration: Co-host webinars on experimentation maturity

Sales Approach & Methodology

Consultative, value-led sales focused on sustainable revenue growth

Consultative Selling

Lead with business problems: "What's stopping you from better conversion?" not "Let me show you features"

Position experimentation as decision engine: Help them make confident choices, not just run A/B tests

Engage multiple stakeholders: CMO (wants ROI), CTO (needs integration), Product (wants speed)

BANT Qualification

  • Budget: €45-150K range, find who controls the budget
  • Authority: Get access to the person who signs and the technical lead
  • Need: Clear business pain (stuck conversion, slow testing)
  • Timeline: Understand their buying process and decision criteria

Plus: Assess experimentation maturity (from random tests to structured program)

Value-First Business Case

Example: E-commerce site with ~500K monthly visits, 2% conversion rate and €100 AOV.

Current monthly revenue ~€1.0M
A +5% relative uplift in conversion (e.g. from 2.0% to 2.1%) ~€50K incremental monthly revenue
Annual incremental revenue ~€600K

Compared to an annual investment in the €45K–70K range, this illustrates the potential for a strong first-year ROI, depending on execution and experimentation maturity.

Mutual Action Plans

Co-create success roadmap with client:

  • Discovery, Technical validation, Business case, Executive alignment
  • Clear next steps, owners, and decision dates
  • Risk management: Address blockers early
  • Champion support: Give internal advocates the materials they need

Contribution Beyond Quota

  • Share insights: Market trends, competitor info, what we're winning and losing
  • Refine messaging: Work with Marketing to improve how we talk to each vertical
  • CS collaboration: Smooth handoff to Customer Success, spot expansion opportunities early
  • Culture contribution: Smart sales execution, help other team members grow
