Introducing Benchmarking by Link My Books: An Industry First

Ever found yourself questioning whether a downturn in sales is just happening to you, or if it's a trend affecting others in your industry? With the launch of Link My Books' Benchmarking tool, an industry-first, you're no longer left in the dark.

This innovative feature enables you to see how your business's key performance indicators (KPIs) compare with those of similarly sized businesses in your sector.

Why Benchmarking Is Essential for Your Business:

Comprehensive KPI Comparisons: Benchmarking lets you effortlessly compare a broad spectrum of your business's performance metrics, such as monthly growth rates, against industry averages. This comparison gives you a full view of where you stand among a cohort of businesses similar in size, offering unparalleled insights into your competitive position.

Market Movement Insights: Experience a sudden shift in your sales figures? Benchmarking clarifies whether this is an isolated incident or part of a wider market trend. This crucial information supports strategic decision-making, helping you determine whether it's time for a thorough business review or to prepare strategies for market recovery.

Operational Cost Evaluation: By highlighting how your operational expenses measure up to the average, Benchmarking identifies areas where your costs might be higher than they should be. This can lead to investigations into potential inefficiencies or a reconsideration of your pricing strategies.

Benchmarking is now available for all Link My Books customers under the Analytics menu. Dive in to explore how you compare and to harness insights that can drive your business forward.
