TWBERP is where Jordan Gordon and the Pilothouse email and retention team break down the strategies that keep customers engaged and spending, without relying on constant acquisition.
In this episode, Jordan dives into a concept that big brands obsess over but most DTC brands ignore—tracking your lifecycle metrics, not just your revenue. He breaks down:
🔹 The 3 key lifecycle stages—Promotional, Customer, and Category—and why tracking them gives you a clearer picture of your business health.
🔹 How to spot margin erosion in your discounting strategy before it tanks your profits.
🔹 Why a growing revenue line can actually be a red flag—and what to look for instead.
If you’re serious about scaling your brand sustainably, this one’s a must-listen.
