There are very few CFO's who actually get metrics and how to use them. I was not disappointed! I was very impressed with the detail, quality of answers and depth of knowledge!

Before I signed on, Ben was gracious enough to walk me through the program and explain how I can leverage the videos as well as the Excel templates that are included in the program. All the videos, like Ben's blog posts, were on topic and explained not only why you need to review the specific measurement but also how to interpret the results.
