In growing sales this model breaks down the process into stages and steps which the startup can metric as follows: Acquisition --\xa0 find users through multiple channels Activation --\xa0 excite customers with your product\xa0 Retention --\xa0 bring the customers back to your site several times Referral --\xa0 generate word of mouth buzz to bring others to the site Revenue -- monetize some of the users Acquisition can be through social media, email, content marketing, or other. Activation can be a user coming to a landing page on the website. Retention can be engagement through email or interactions with a blog.
