Do you think it’s a helpful metric or do you think it can lead to bad decision-making?

In relation to the blog I posted last week exploring the question “How can you turn a market downturn into your tailwind,” (Link in 1st comment) I focused the CEO Mastermind I ran last week on the importance of ROI in B2B SaaS Sales.
