>So, what's a good way to come up with relevant, justified metrics like that?

Make shit up.

I'm dead serious. Not in terms of "This product never existed and I'm going to lie to you", but in terms of "Everyone loved that feature I did, it probably helped retain 3-5% of our clients alone, and we were able to hire another two people the following year, so that probably works out to about 10% growth."

So: my feature improved helped grow sales by 13%.
