This plan aims to achieve ambitious sales and customer satisfaction targets while driving learner engagement in online courses. By focusing on critical metrics such as Sales Revenue, Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT), Learner Engagement Rate, Course Completion Rate, and Knowledge Retention Rate, the plan ensures comprehensive growth and improvement in multiple areas.
For example, improving Sales Revenue through targeted advertising campaigns and offering early-bird discounts can drive more enrollments. Similarly, achieving a high CSAT by providing excellent customer support and personalized learning paths will lead to happier, more satisfied customers. These metrics matter because they not only measure performance but also provide actionable insights for continuous improvement.
