π PHASE 6: MEASUREMENT & ACCOUNTABILITY
The Hard Truth About Revenue Metrics
If you can't measure it, you can't scale it.
But here's what most businesses get wrong:
They track everything and own nothing.
Welcome to Phase 6 of your Revenue Stack β where we convert all that strategy and hustle into predictable, accountable growth.
Why Your Current Metrics System Is Failing You
Most revenue teams suffer from three deadly sins:
Dashboard Overload: Drowning in numbers that don't drive decisions
Orphaned Metrics: KPIs without clear owners (who exactly fixes that slipping conversion rate?)
Set-and-Forget Syndrome: Data that's viewed but never reviewed in context
Sound familiar?
The 7 North Star Metrics Every Revenue Leader Needs
Forget tracking 37 different numbers. Focus your team on these make-or-break metrics:
1οΈβ£ Qualified Leads Per Week
This isn't about volume. It's about whether your ideal customers are finding you.
2οΈβ£ First Meetings Booked
The true health indicator of your outbound, inbound and nurture engines.
3οΈβ£ Proposal-to-Close Rate
Are you selling value or just pitching features?
4οΈβ£ Average Deal Size
The clearest signal of market fit and perceived value.
5οΈβ£ Sales Cycle Length
Time kills deals. How efficiently are you closing?
6οΈβ£ Client Retention Rate
The silent profit killer most companies ignore until it's too late.
7οΈβ£ Expansion Revenue
Your existing customers should be your best source of new revenue.
The Accountability Framework That Changed Everything
Numbers without ownership are just digital decorations.
Install this weekly rhythm to transform metrics into momentum:

"Your revenue stack is only as strong as what you review with intention. The tech, the tactics β they're useless without rhythm and responsibility."
