The secret to product launch success: 12 KPIs you should track. According to Harvard Business School, about 95% of all product launches each year fail. The number one reason so many new products fail is because companies don’t adequately prepare to go to market. This includes not establishing relevant, realistic, and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs). Ellie Mirman explains that one way you can prepare for your next product launch is to establish clear, realistic, and measurable goals. Those goals can focus on things like revenue, price point, the number of total sales needed to meet revenue goals, number of needed prospects, leads and conversions, and the number of sales expected from new vs. repeat customers.
