"I believe the most critical KPI to consider is the repeat business rate. This metric is directly associated with client satisfaction and will tell a consultant or agency a lot about their business and the likeability factor. Build trust, take action, then deliver on those promises."

"The most critical KPI to consider is the number of leads generated. Without an active pipeline of business, there is nothing else to consider. Once you start with a healthy leads list, the next KPI to consider is the customer acquisition percentage. You earn trust not by making promises but by delivering on them."
