Numbers Tell Us the Whole Story
What gets measured gets managed. Marketing is a game for which you need to measure, manage and improve your numbers constantly. You don’t need a long, convoluted story. You just need the numbers because numbers tell us the whole story.
Here are some of the critical numbers you need to know:
- Leads
- Conversion rate
- Average transaction value
- Break-even point
Leads: Calculate the number of new leads that come into your business.
Conversion rate: Calculate the percentage of leads you converted into paying customers.
Average transaction value: Know the average dollar amount that customers spend with you.
Break-even point: Identify the dollar amount you need to make to keep your doors open. It encompasses such things as rent, staff, utilities and any other ongoing operating expenses.
All of these numbers are typically measured monthly, but depending on the size of your business, you could measure weekly or daily.
