Hello, Nicholas! I want to express my gratitude for sharing this valuable information; I believe it can be beneficial to many. I was intrigued by the suggestion in response to question #64, 'How to track sales performance,' advising to 'Use the growth profit margin.' I wonder about the rationale, considering that COGS/COS also impacts the GP margin, a metric unaffected by the sales team. Would it not be more advisable to focus on revenue forecasts/budgets and conversion rates for evaluating sales performance? I would truly appreciate your insights on this matter.P.S. I wanted to kindly point out a typo in the formula provided in question 51.
