Every industry has its relevant key performance indicators. For example, your blood pressure and blood sugar levels are KPIs from a medical perspective.
Let’s find out why your business needs KPIs and how you can identify yours.
Why are business KPIs so important?
Key performance indicators help you keep track of your business’ performance by constantly measuring essential values relevant to achieving your key objectives.
For example, when you become a gym member, they’ll do some KPIs on you. Have you noticed it before?
I was at the gym this morning and they checked out my blood pressure, BMI and my weight.
Why are they measuring these indicators on a regular basis? Because they want to help me improve.
It’s the same with your business, KPIs can give you a clear picture of your business’ development over a specific period of time. The longer you keep track of your KPIs, the better you’ll be able to see your performance.
That’s how can achieve your goals. Your business’ KPIs are effective ways to measure where you're at today and compare it to where you actually want to be.
What are these KPIs? Why have them? Find some great answers in this article.
Let’s talk about your business’ KPIs...
Say your business is a restaurant. What would your KPIs be?
how many people come in every day
how much they spend
your food costs
So, figure out what your KPIs are. If you can do it yourself, that’s great! Otherwise, get in touch with your accountant and work out a system to test and measure your business’ performance levels.
At the end of the day, one of the most important things when it comes to growth (no matter the area) is to identify the things you can do and measure them in order to get the desired result.
