Sales is driven through traffic. No traffic == no sales.

Understanding what drives traffic to your SaaS website is such an important piece of information. For instance, if you write two articles, one describing how to use your product to achieve a certain thing which customers want to do, and another article which compares your product to a competitor product and one of the two articles creates 50x more traffic than the other then you'd certainly want to know this, because then you know what articles give you the biggest return on your time writing them.

Just one of so many examples how web analytics is such an important tool to being a good sales person.




That sounds like a non-example. Why do you need invasive, personalized surveillance for that? Traffic and aggregate data are an entirely different question.
