“Try to think about customer retention in terms of cohorts. This helps elucidate if performance of cohorts is improving over time and is a great indicator of product market fit: If your retention rates are increasing without discounts or special promos, it’s a powerful indicator that there is something inherently good about the product and that it is solving pain points.”
