Many companies today suffer from a lack of visibility into key performance metrics. We call this “keyhole visibility” because it’s the equivalent of trying to evaluate what’s happening in a room by looking through the keyhole. With a narrow view, you’re unable to fully understand what’s behind the door and what might be lurking around […]

When the publisher looked deeper into its sales data, it found that this market segment made up only a small portion of readers – and that the majority of buyers […]
