What do you want? Less or more? You choose…

Like me, and most other business owners, you would probably like to know exactly how you are performing. More importantly you'd like to know exactly how much you are missing out on. And work out how to get what could and should be yours. Now you can with your Confidential Performance Report.

What gets measured gets better…

A comprehensive research study, by David Maister in his book 'Practise what you preach', suggests that the simple act of measuring something generates improvements without doing anything else!

That sounds too good to be true to me. However it is clear that measurement is an obsession of successful people worldwide - whether it be in sports, business or any other walk of life. Together these two facts clearly show that better measures will help you improve the results of your business. So do you want better measures, do you want better results?

Better results start with better measures…

When you measure your performance against other businesses within your sector you instantly see where you are doing well. And you instantly see where you are doing less well.

As a result you can focus your energies on catching up in those areas you are weak and building on those areas where you are strong. So, with your Confidential Performance Report you'll have better measures and start on the road to better results?

Will it work for you?

Categorically YES. And we are so confident that it will add real value to your business that it comes with a 100% full and unconditional money-back guarantee.
In other words, if you feel that your Confidential Performance Report does not help you get more for and from your business, only pay what you think its worth.
It doesn't cost the earth for your Confidential Performance Report but we insist that you ask for a full refund if you see no value in the process at all.
Best of all, you won't get any hassle or any questions asked if you trigger the guarantee. Simply our thanks for giving your Confidential Performance Report a try.

 

How does the Confidential Performance Report work for me?

Your report delivers a clear focus on how you stack up against your competition and your industry averages.
You identify the most important areas for improvement so that you know where to focus your efforts. So that you can claim back what has been missing.

And as a result start driving your business towards more profits, more growth, more cash reserves, more productivity or whatever matters most to you.

 

What will be in my benchmarking report?

You can request a short 6-7 page summary report that will help you to identify where your strengths and weaknesses are in the key areas of:

  • How fast your sales are growing and how efficient your people are at selling
  • How effectively you are using your assets to create sales
  • How effective you are at turning your efforts and hard work into operating profits

This summary report will help you create an action plan for building on your strengths and addressing your weaknesses in these areas. And it will also help you to decide whether you

want to commission a more detailed benchmarking report to look at all the other key numbers in your business.

Want more detail?

Your more detailed performance report contains 19 key benchmarking measures to help you see exactly where you are doing well and where there are areas for improvement.

Help guide your most important business decisions with:

  • An analysis of your breakeven sales, and how at risk your business is from fluctuations in sales compared with other businesses in your sector.
  • A comparison of your gross margin against other businesses in your sector. This analysis will give you an invaluable insight into, among other things, whether you are charging the right prices.
  • An analysis of your net profit margin as well as your operating margin - and how your growth in net profit compares with other businesses.
  • Additional measures of productivity and team costs, including average team costs. These will give you further insights into how productive you are and how much your team costs compared to the teams of other businesses in your industry.
  • You will see how your stock turnover compares. This will give you an insight into how efficiently you manage your stock levels compared with other similar businesses.
  • You will discover how good you really are at converting your sales and debtors into cash - and whether there is significant scope for improving your cashflow by making changes in this vital area.
  • There will also be other cash and gearing ratios that will give you an insight into the financial risk your business faces compared with other similar businesses.
  • And you will see how you compare in what is arguably the most important ratio of all… your return on investment.

Not only will the report benchmark your business against your competitors for all the key measures, but it will also help you to create an action plan for improving your performance even further. And it will even calculate how much more profitable you will be when you emulate the proven strategies of your most successful competitors.
