Episode A1.010 Reading the Metrics

14/9/2020

0 Comments

 
IBGR - RESULTS Radio Network. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. COME GROW WITH US.

Introduction
We all know the statistics on the startup failures.  We all know business owners who have started businesses that are barely paying the owners a living wage.  What separates those kinds of businesses from the ones that generate revenue, make healthy profits and allow the owner to prosper?

Metrics.  Well, the proper interpretation of the metrics.  In this episode we will look at the most meaningful metrics for startups - no matter where you live.  We will also look at KPI’s and how to customize both.

Tune in to the metrics on your dashboard that allow you to steer clear of pitfalls and pivot to leverage your industry’s opportunities.

Have a great business week.

Show Objective
Learn to build out a dashboard with metrics and KPI’s that you can easily access, analyze, and act on.  These metrics will help you:
  • Pivot 
  • Avoid pitfalls
  • Grow, develop
  • Communitcate with lenders, investors, strategic partners, and, when you have one - your Board.
Metrics will give you a roadmap so that you aren’t wandering around your industry landscape without a clue.

Key Concerns:
Why are metrics important?  What are founders supposed to get from metrics?  
  • Each metric relates to core operations
  • Each metric indicates what’s working, and what isn’t working in the business
  • Discuss how to identify your most important metric - the driver of your company’ s growth
It’s best to be very specific with your metrics, to drive towards your goals.


What You Need to Know
You need to know what metrics are.  You need to know what KPI’s are, too.  Then, you need to know what it means to customize and where to best find the customization strategies to develop meaningful metrics.


What You Need to Do:
Here are the steps you can take to develop your dashboard.  You want it to contain the most meaningful metrics and KPI’s.
  1. Determine what the primary driver of growth is for your company.  (Look back at your business plan for ideas.)
  2. Reverse engineer from that driver.
  3. Make a list of everything you can do to fuel that driver of growth & revenue.
  4. Prioritize that list.
  5. Analyze the cost of each.
  6. Assign the tasks associated with each one.
  7. Reprioritize if necessary.
  8. Know your burn rate, customer acquisition costs, the lifetime value of each, revenue, costs of goods sold, profits & loss statements - all of your financial reporting can come in handy when identifying the most meaningful metrics.
