The $1M KPI Mistake Almost Every Entrepreneur Makes

A KPI you've reported on every single week for years… that's been quietly capping your revenue the entire time. That's exactly what Evan uncovered inside Coconut Cleaning — and it could be worth an extra $1 million a year.
In this episode of Premium Mindset, Cameron and Evan take a deep dive into the lifetime value of your existing customer base and the single greatest lever to grow both top line and bottom line: the customers you've already paid to acquire. Evan walks through the moment he realized the team wasn't tracking how many recurring Coconut Club members actually needed service — they were tracking a percentage of a 40% bandwidth cap, a number engineered to spit out the same result every month no matter what. The fix changes everything about how they route vans, set demand, and measure real growth.
This is a raw, in-the-weeds look at why data integrity is the only thing that tells you where to act.
In this episode, we cover: Why the most profitable dollars come from customers you've already acquired How a "responsible" 40% KPI quietly hid a seven-figure revenue leak The difference between measuring against bandwidth vs. measuring true demand How getting members from 2 services a year to 4 adds $1M in revenue Why demand creation comes first and bandwidth second The new rolling KPI: how many club members you have, churn, and quarterly completion How AI is changing the game for pulling clean, consistent numbers in your business.
If you run a service business and think your recurring revenue model is healthy - this episode will show you exactly where to question everything before a hidden metric costs you years.
