      IMO start with financials and math. Combine it with knowledge about how each department in businesses work. And then learn from COOs / operators of businesses in the industry you’re focusing on.

    Thanks for the video! Finding a good tool can be really hard. It’s even worse to have a bad spreadsheet or nothing at all. I took note of some tools you mentioned. I also really appreciated the point that a CRM isn’t just for managing inquiries-you can use it to track how your current clients are doing. I’m planning to set one up for the first time soon, so this was a helpful lesson for me. Thanks again for the video!

      Great Q - I’d factor it in at the revenue goal level. So if I think I’ll lose 5k/mo in churn and want to add 30k total to revenue, I’ll build the goals around generating 35k outta the gate

    Fire. Love how you've broken this down, Matt. AND, this hopefully helps founders/sales leaders/marketing leaders clarify which metrics they actually don't yet have a handle on. Because sometimes the constraint is not knowing (yet)

  • @stevegardiner8964

    If you are managing a team of sales reps, should they own numbers that are a collective total for the team or should the metrics be broken down by rep? For example accounts sold.

      Both - whoever is leading the team owns the team numbers, each rep owns their own numbers

    Hey super noob question here. For SAAS specifically, are there good ways to track metrics for actual developers? I assume "lines of code" is poor because it creates a perverse incentive to type inefficient code. Or are there other videos you've all done or resources toward this? Thanks Matt!

    • @mattverlaque
      @mattverlaque 10 месяцев назад

      I’ll check into a vid on this - I haven’t shot one yet. Agree on LOC being a weak metric. I’ve measured velocity, quality (new defects introduced, number of open defects etc), test coverage, and some type of user-focused grading such as NewRelic Apdex or similar.
