I was on the phone with a client who spent some time telling me about how he follows the sales process, prepares the questions he wants to ask, makes sure he remembers to thoroughly qualify, prepares and plans his presentations and considers all of the possible objections he may encounter along the way.

Session replays are a common conversion research technique. And they can provide a lot of value. Still, the process is amorphous. I haven’t seen a structured way to approach session recordings other than just sitting down to watch a bunch of them and inferring your qualitative findings, somehow lopping them into the rest of your research stack. But what if there were a better way?
