4. LTV & Efficiency
Section four puts a dollar figure on retention. Enterprise customers carry roughly 4,250x the lifetime value of Starter accounts, once you factor in both what they pay and how rarely they churn. I also tracked the Quick Ratio (growth efficiency) across the full 3-year window it never dropped below 1.0, though it's clearly maturing from early triple-digit swings into a steady 2-5x range.

Annual vs monthly comes up in almost every pricing conversation I have with B2B founders, and it gets framed as a revenue decision.
It's closer to a cash timing decision.
Prepaid annual pulls twelve months of revenue into this quarter, which helps when you're funding hiring. But the price is fixed, and the return depends on how long that account would have stayed without a contract.
The standard two-months-free offer costs about 17%. Against an account that quits in month seven, clear win. Against one that renews on its own for three years, you handed back 17% of a customer who wasn't going anywhere.
So I start with the retention curve, not the pricing page.

After a long silence — Power BI has been consuming all my hours 🎯
Just wrapped Page 1 of a multi-page sales performance dashboard for a supermarket chain client. This is what I've been building quietly instead of posting 😅
The problem:
My client was tracking sales in scattered reports — no single source of truth for MOM (Month-over-Month) trends, store performance, or daily variations. Leadership had to hunt through multiple sheets to answer basic questions.
What we built:
A live Power BI dashboard that answers:
✓ Which stores are underperforming? (Rankings updated daily)
✓ How much did revenue grow last month? (MOM % at a glance)
✓ Are we hitting targets? (Real-time KPIs with trend indicators)
✓ Which products drive revenue? (Top 10 breakdown)
✓ How do weekdays vs weekends compare? (Day-over-Day trends)
The tech stack:
Data cleaned in Excel → Loaded to Power BI → Published online → Live slicers for filtering by date, store, category
Pages 2 & 3 in progress (Store Analysis + Returns Breakdown). But honestly? This work is the kind you don't post about until it's done. Now it is.
To anyone rebuilding their portfolio:
Real client work beats portfolio templates every single time. Even if you disappear from LinkedIn for 3 months, showing actual deliverables matters more than consistent posting.
