"I track my SaaS metrics daily weekly and monthly. And when a number is too low (or too high) I use Mixpanel to fix it. I've been able to grow my conversion rate from 7% to 45% that way. And here is my process to do it. 1/ Write the exact number you want to improve "I don't have enough paying users" isn't good enough. Improving your conversion rate from new users is. 2/ Make assumptions Now write down the different reasons behind that. For example for the conversion rate a. We released new features people don't understand b. It's summer so it's lower c. We attract users that are not qualified"
