Customer Led Growth Dashboard Example

This dashboard shows how you might use a KPI dashboard tool like Geckoboard to track the CLG framework. In this case, we’re using Geckoboard’s own customer journey as an example (with dummy data).

The dashboard is divided into six sections, each representing six different stages of the customer journey.

➡️ Problem – In the first column, we are using New Unique Website Visitors as a KPI to track the Problem stage. How many potential customers are discovering Geckoboard as a potential solution to their problem? Here, the dashboard pulls data directly from Google Analytics. We can track how many new website visitors we have recorded over the past 7 days and the past 28 days.

➡️ Interest – In the second column, we are also using Google Analytics data to track New Free Trial users. In addition to the total number, we can also see the website’s overall conversion rate.

➡️ First Value: Activation – In the third column, we are using Mixpanel data to track First Value (or Activation Rate). Out of the customers who signed up for a trial, how many reached the “aha moment” where they experienced value for the first time? Using insights from customer research, we decided our Activation KPI should be the number of people who connect their first data source. You’ll notice that the activation rate has triggered a red status indicator on the dashboard – that’s because it’s fallen below the 50% threshold we’ve set for ourselves. Status indicators like these help the team to quickly notice when something has changed for the worse (or the better).

➡️ Value Realization – In the fourth column we’re also using Mixpanel data to track how many people reached Value Realization – where they “solved the problem that they came to us to solve”. Again, based on customer research we know that this is the point where customers have been able to build a dashboard that visualizes multiple data points.

➡️ Continued Value – In the fifth column we are using data from our SQL database to track Continued Value – the point where customers have “established a habit and the product is embedded into their life”. In our case, this is when customers are regularly sharing their dashboard with their team via collaboration channels such as Slack or by using our Send to TV feature for permanent TV display.

➡️ Value Growth – The sixth column uses SQL database data to track customers who upgrade their plan because they are expanding their usage of the product.

In addition to the data sources we mentioned (Google Analytics, Mixpanel and SQL databases), you can recreate this dashboard using over 90 different data sources including Salesforce, ProfitWell or Google Sheets.
