The 7 Sins of Growth Marketing - Pitfalls & Opportunities for Success
summary
Seven concrete failures and fixes: wasteful ad spends vs a repeatable experimental framework that tests small then scales; data overload and the 40 to 70 rule for decision making; ignore-the-funnel mistakes plus channel-specific goals (MRR as an output, input metrics feeding SQLs and ARPU); danger of outsourcing strategy and scattering customer data; Reveal is built to centralize customer insights; claim that 95% talk to customers but only 40–60% act on those insights.
