But the holy grail of objectivity - not subjectivity - around lead quality has finally been achieved in 2026. This session will show marketers how to use AI + CRM to make this happen, and what it means for their relationship with sales, and the wider business.

What Happened to the Other 98? How to uncover what’s stopping website visitors from choosing you.

Adrian Grindley

UserBoost

AI can analyse your website and give you a long list of things to improve. The hard part is knowing which of those ideas will actually make a difference. In this practical session, Adrian Grindley from UserBoost will show you how to identify the barriers that are most likely to be affecting customer decisions, how to prioritise what to change, and how to validate your ideas even if your website doesn’t get the 40,000+ monthly visitors typically needed for conventional A/B testing. You’ll also learn simple ways to speak to existing customers and uncover what really influenced their decision to buy — so your optimisation is based on evidence, not just another AI-generated checklist.
