Tracking KPIs to measure business success doesn’t have to be overwhelming!

With a few key metrics, you can get a solid picture of your business health and long-term growth potential. Here are three essential KPIs to know 👇🏽

🔸 Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
This one’s all about the long game. CLV shows how much each customer could bring in over time—giving you a glimpse into future growth. To calculate, just estimate the length of customer relationships and their spending.

🔸 Customer Retention
Are customers sticking around? This KPI tells you how well you’re keeping clients engaged, whether through memberships, repeat purchases, or renewals. The higher your retention, the stronger your business!

🔸 Revenue Per Client
A simple but powerful measure: total revenue divided by number of clients. It’s a quick way to see how much each customer is worth and track overall health.

Curious about more ways to grow? DM us 🤝📊 #BusinessHealth #KPIs #Ungentle #sportsmarketing #jiujitsulifestyle #jiujitsuacademy

Your website enquiry form isn’t dead—it just needs a nudge! ☠️➡️

If your form isn’t getting hits, it’s likely because you’re not pointing people to it directly or giving them a strong enough reason to take action. Here’s how to make it happen:

Feature it everywhere: Place your enquiry form on every page with a clear call to action.

Share it on social media: Use story links to reach warm leads and keep them interested.

Use paid ads: Don’t just hope someone finds your form—reach them directly while you focus on your students. Paid ads are a game-changer! ✅

Ready to boost your enquiries? DM us ‘SIGN-UPS’ to get started.
