PATCA February Dinner Meeting-The Five Key Metrics That Drive Your Business

February 11, 2010 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

PATCA February Dinner Meeting-The Five Key Metrics That Drive Your Business

PATCA’s February dinner meeting features Eamon Rooney, of ActionCOACH in Cupertino.

‘What gets measured gets managed’ is the old management adage and it is very true in every sort of business. Each consulting business is looking to increase the number of clients it serves, the revenues it gets and finally the profit to the owner. Yet many businesses only measure these three numbers, and neglect the more fundamental metrics.

Attendees will learn:

  • The five key metrics that are the keys to business success.
  • How these metrics relate to each other.
  • Why it is important to take a bird’s eye view encompassing sales, marketing, and finance to understand their true impact on the bottom line.
  • Techniques and strategies to boost each of the five metrics.
  • Why small improvements can have a much bigger impact than a single massive change.

Rooney has a deep understanding of how consultants work coming from his own direct experience, and knows first-hand the difficulty of finding time to focus on business metrics.

But, how more profitable will your consulting practice be when you understand the most important activities to measure and start managing them effectively?
