Are you struggling to understand why your business isn't hitting its growth targets despite investing heavily in customers and employees? This episode reveals the key business metrics you might be overlooking that could transform your decision-making and help you drive long-term profitability.

We’ll cover customer-related and performance metrics that are critical to assessing the effectiveness of your business strategy. You’ll learn how to evaluate customer acquisition cost (CAC) and its balance with lifetime value (LTV), ensuring your customer base remains profitable over time. You’ll also discover how reducing churn and improving customer retention can be more cost-effective than acquiring new customers.
