Insights are the findings or conclusions of analyzing data. Actionable Insights are those Insights that give clear direction on the actions that need to be taken based on the analysis.
Insights can be achieved by identifying interesting patterns, trends that vary from the normal or huge deviation from targets. Identifying the causes that led to these anomalies and recommending corrective or preventive measures are insights that call for an action.
Actionable Insights for Metrics
Customer life time value(LTV) metrics, represents the total amount of money a customer is expected to spend in your business during their lifetime, before they churn. This metrics helps to plan the ideal limit of your customer acquisition cost (CAC). Suppose your data shows a downward trend for LTV that’s below the CAC metrics; it clearly indicates that the business is making a loss. You need to either bring down CAC (marketing, discounts etc.); or increase the Revenue from customers; or work on customer retention and bring down the customer churn. The insights obtained from analyzing these metrics will clearly throw light on where exactly the leaks is. Also, shows what action needs to be taken to fix the downward trend.
Similarly for the monthly Revenue; if it shows a downward trend, there could be various reasons. It could be dip in the number of new customers who are onboarded; or it could be an increase in the customer churn; or an increase in the ageing accounts receivables (AR). The right insights will clearly specify the right reasons for the downward trend in monthly Revenue. Accordingly, the Sales, Ops or the Billing teams can then take corrective measures.
Thus, the right metrics with the right insights will help in taking the right decisions all the time.
