Key Takeaways

✦

Identify your customer acquisition cost and close rate, setting 'red flag' thresholds to quickly assess sales team performance and marketing ROI.

✦

Implement an efficiency score (budgeted hours/clocked hours) to measure operational productivity, and track it meticulously to ensure profitability.

✦

Prioritize customer satisfaction by using surveys (not just online reviews) to gather feedback, and use it to improve service quality and retention.

✦

Maintain a healthy cash-on-hand reserve, aiming for at least one month of revenue, to buffer against financial fluctuations and operational challenges.

✦

Monitor your profit margin closely, setting a minimum threshold (e.g., 20%), as a key indicator of overall business health and administrative effectiveness.

✦

Empower your general managers and department heads by clearly communicating these six KPIs, allowing them autonomy unless a 'red flag' is triggered, at which point you can intervene with precision.
