Why Product-Market Fit Beats survey completion rates
While SurveyMonkey focuses on survey completion rates, FitPlum measures what actually matters for sustainable growth: Product-Market Fit.
The FitPlum Advantage:
PMF is the only metric proven to predict both retention and organic growth. Companies with strong PMF (40%+ users "very disappointed" without the product) see 3x better retention and 2x more word-of-mouth growth.
