Do You Actually Know What’s Happening in Your Business Every Day?

Many owners know the business is busy but cannot answer simple questions without calling three staff members.

Choose a few daily numbers

You do not need fifty KPIs.

Start with

  • Sales
  • Cash collected
  • New enquiries
  • Jobs completed
  • Urgent problems

Make one place to view them

A simple dashboard, report or shared sheet is enough if it stays accurate.

Keep it

  • Updated
  • Easy to read
  • Owned by someone

Ask questions when numbers change

The report is not the answer. It tells you where to look.

Examples

  • Why did enquiries drop
  • Why are collections slower
  • Why are jobs delayed

My view

Good reporting helps you ask better questions. You should not need to disturb half the company just to know what happened yesterday.

Need a second opinion?

If this is something you are dealing with in your business, you can always message me. If I have an idea that may help, I’ll tell you what I think.
