According to a study by Harvard Business Review, sales is equal parts art and science. You got to have your logic, process, and organization, but hey, there's also a lot of human touch, emotions, and those lightning-fast sales reps who can spot opportunities and turn them into big wins to boost deal sizes, cross-sell, and make customers stick around for the long haul. 🚀

But, it takes work! Field sales managers and top brass in the C-suite are often scratching their heads, trying to figure out the big picture of sales performance. 🤔📊

So what’s the missing piece of the puzzle? Sales metrics! 💡🧩🌟

With sales metrics, you get the whole scoop, and you're ready to shoot for the stars in the sales galaxy. 🌌🚀

Customer Churn Rate

🤔 Ever wondered how many customers you lose each year? How about every month?

Customers demand the best, and if they don't find it, they may walk away. That's why it's crucial for companies to keep track of customer churn - when and why customers leave. 

A low churn rate indicates a strong customer base and a thriving business, while a high rate demands immediate attention and improvement. 📈💔
