1. Build a Live KPI Dashboard
Why it rocks: No more digging through spreadsheets. You see what’s working instantly.
Tool: Google Looker Studio + Google Sheets
Example:
Let’s say you run a SaaS startup. Connect your Stripe data to Google Sheets, then build a
dashboard in Looker Studio that auto-updates your
● MRR
● Active Users
● CAC
● Churn Rate
You’ll be able to glance at your dashboard and go, “Yep, we’re healthy.”
2. Automate Your Financial Forecasts
Why it helps: It’s like having a part-time CFO in your pocket.
Tool: Finmark
Example:
You just raised $500k. You want to see how long that’ll last. Plug in:
● Monthly expenses (team, software, etc.)
● Growth targets
● Expected revenue from product launches
Finmark will auto-generate a financial runway forecast so you know when you’ll need to raise again.
No spreadsheets, no stress. Just insights.
3. Monthly OKR Check-ins
Why does it keep you on track?
Goals are only good if you actually track progress.
Tool: Notion
Example:
You want to grow your newsletter. Your OKR could look like
● Objective: Boost newsletter growth
● Key Result 1: Grow from 2,000 to 5,000 subs
● Key Result 2: Get open rates above 35%
● Key Result 3: Launch 3 referral campaigns
Use Notion to update progress each week with your team. At month’s end, you’ll know what moved the needle and what didn’t.
4. Watch Customer Health Scores
Why it matters: Your users are speaking through their actions; are you listening?
Tool: Custify
Example:
Say you have 300 paying users. You want to prevent churn. Custify shows you:
● Which users haven’t logged in for 2+ weeks
● Who’s opening support tickets frequently
● Who’s stuck on onboarding
Then it auto-tags them as “at risk,” so your support or success team can jump in before they cancel.
It’s like knowing a breakup is coming before it actually happens.
