GTM planning starts with research, but for founders and business leaders, your eyes are on a bigger prize like setting short and long-term business goals and strategic objectives. My last post talked about OKRs and today i'm diving into KPIs. In 15 years of coaching, mentoring and agency services, I've seen too many startups crash and burn because they're flying blind tracking the wrong metrics. Realistic and Achievable are where the focus should be. Here's where you should focus, and what to look out for: 1. Turnover isn't everything. That's right, I said it. Look at your CAC and LTV. If you're spending £100 to get a customer worth £50, you're in trouble. Payback and profitability are what's important here. 2. Happy customers stick around, and that's where the real money is. Churn is a silent killer. Keep an eye on it. 3. Forget vanity metrics. Sign ups mean squat if no one's using your product. Focus on active users and engagement. 4. Cash is king. Know your runway. If you're burning through cash like there's no tomorrow, there might not be one for your startup. 5. Sales cycle length matters. The shorter, the better. If it's taking forever to close deals, something's off. Deal velocity is a key metric here. Remember, what you measure, you can improve. But don't go crazy with 50 different KPIs. Pick 5-7 that really matter for your stage and crush those. What's your most important KPI right now? Drop it in the comments. Let's learn from each other. 👇 P.S - Did you know my proprietary ARISE GTM Methodology® has 151 standard KPIs across marketing, sales, customer success, people and finance. Comment KPIs in with any other comments and i'll share them with you. #StartupAdvice #KPIs #GrowthHacking #AriseGTM

ARISE GTM reposted this
As the year trundles towards its end, many of us are in strategy mode, figuring out our plans for 2025 and beyond. For the more experienced, it will be an easier journey than for others. For those less experienced and wanting a holistic, all-inclusive, sustainable model, you could find an outcome by adopting our ARISE Go-To-Market Methodology®. #Arisegtm On January 15th, we kick off with our first of 9 webinars discussing ARISE and the benefits of a system that aligns teams, drops over 151 KPIs and gives you a model for growth for teams on HubSpot. For those that register, we will drop a few free reports into your dashboard to help you align your GTM, including: 1. An ICP dashboard, no need to keep guessing or making it hard for yourself anymore 2. A data hygiene dashboard, immediately understand where the gaps in your data are and fix them. 3. For the first 10 non-agency/consultant registrations with at least one enterprise seat/tier, we will drop our ARISE GTM Custom Object, showing you how to build and run strategy in #HubSpot. Nine weeks, one goal, one outcome. One new comprehensive GTM strategy. Who's in? Link to register in comments #GTMStrategy #2025planning #GTMPartner
