Your level of confidence tells me how you feel about YOU. Your level of commitment tells me how you feel about US.

I dare any business to try and increase their 50 percent retention month (longest month after sign up in which more than 50% of your users are still active), without making more money. LTV just goes up.👍🏿

Because L gets bigger.

So stop squeezing customers! Everyone is broke.

Start keeping them.👍🏿
