My boss thinks I'm a data genius. I'm not.

My boss thinks I'm a data genius. I'm not.

Last week my boss asked for a cross-channel breakdown.

CTR by platform. Cost per lead by region. Compared to last quarter.


Used to be a 3-hour panic. Exporting. Pivoting. Praying the numbers matched.

But here's the thing—I'm not faster. I just stopped doing it manually.


I switched to Coupler.io. It pulls all my data automatically.

Then I ask the AI what I need.

"What's our best channel by ROI this quarter?"


Answer in 30 seconds. Chart included.

She thinks I'm brilliant. I'm just connected to the right tool.


Try Coupler.io. Look like a genius.
