It shows how your assumptions and plans will generatevalue It allows investors to evaluate some aspects of yourbusiness It shows how a range of inputs will impact on the outputs i.e profits andcosts It shows how your business will likely perform over a period oftime A good financial plan shows that you have had a reality check and are not workingon guesses and blinddevotion

  9. Importance of Marketing Metrics Your key assumptions will be based on how your marketing willwork? How do you plan to reach your targetmarket? How do you plan to turn your target market intocustomers? How much time and cost will you incur in the process of gainingcustomers? How much value will each customer add to yourbusiness? What are the expected range of conversion rates for marketing efforts of yourbusiness?
