But if you don’t have a handle on your numbers, this challenge can become insurmountable. It’s fair to say that almost every business owner already recognises the power of data, and many spend a lot of money on analytics tools as well. But simply having your numbers on hand is very different from truly understanding them. Herein lies the difference between the truly profitable businesses and the rest of the pack.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Kunle and Garret talk about scaling a business with typically low-LTV products to over $30 million in revenue. You will get to hear about what it takes to deleverage from Amazon, knowing which metrics to track, why using spreadsheets still works and tips on running a business with your partner. This is a great episode for business owners and operators.</p><p><br>-----------</p><p>SPONSORS:<br>This episode is brought to you by:</p><p><br><strong>Klaviyo <br></strong><br></p><p>This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.
