If you’re already tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), it’s tempting to think you’re doing enough performance analysis. But are you tracking the KPIs that best correlate to your business goals? If your KPIs aren’t surfacing the right insights, you don’t have the data you need to drive results.
Here’s an example. If your goal is to increase revenue in your salon or spa by 10 percent in the next quarter, you might focus on these KPIs: Average Ticket Size, Retail Service Rate and Occupancy Ratio.
Or, if you’re trying to increase your customer retention by 15 percent in the next quarter, you might focus on these KPIs: Customer Retention Rate, New Customer Retention Rate and Customer Retention Rate by Employee.
