Because CEO/team/sales wants it

Number of registrations

Emily, then segue asking about how people can test
Downloads -> Onboarding, Sharing/Growth Tactics
Active Users -> Creating a habit (Variable rewards)
Time in app -> User flow in app, Personalization
Ratings -> timing & prompt
In app revenue -> Value proposition, steps leading up to it, checkout process

Couple of ways to track this: button presses, page tags, forms completed, etc.
So you can see that 25% of the users don’t get to the first page where they receive value.
Then you can dig into why that is. (Notice that 3% of users don’t make it past the choose your sign in screen)
Have to do some additional digging to see how many users made it through the facebook login, and how many through the typing login.
KW HotelTonight literally finds people off the street or uses craigslist to get testers. Offers them free credits for hotel stays. Slight bias, but it gets the job done

So, Netflix decided to A/B test what UI would be best to display content before signups

The original (without browsable content) beat every variation.
Showing content before users signed up for the free trial actually decreased conversions

Customer feedback helps you hone in, testing helps give you data to back up your claims.
