Show Notes:
- Numbers without dimensions are hard to analyze. Line graphs show trends as a picture. Where does there need to be more improvement? What caused a ‘dip?’
- Using statistics helps find the right "WHY" when looking to solve a problem.
- Competitive nature for employees
- Creating a graph for daily production on completed hours for technicians
- Examples of what to watch: Gross income, the value of services delivered (closed repairs), ARO, gross profit dollars, new customers, number of inspections, quality inspection, ARO, average repair estimates, and close percentage (60-75%). Be careful having the close rate too high/too low.
- New customers- you need front office staff to have a proper orientation for a new customer.
- Growth mode- as growth increases, also increase your marketing.
