Profit per X Discovery – A Free Mini Data Strategy Audit for Small Businesses
If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed when it comes to your business data, you’re not alone. A lot of small businesses and fractional business leaders know there’s value in their numbers—but struggle to know where to start.
That’s where our "Find Your One KPI tool" comes in.
Think "Profit per X," a concept from Jim Collins: identifying the one unit (“X”) - like each customer, hour, employee, etc. – that, if you focus on growing it, would have the greatest and most sustainable impact on your business’s profitability.
Instead of focusing on broad revenue or profit numbers, you zoom in to see where the profit is coming from at a unit level (customer, hour, employee, etc.)
This quick, guided mini audit will help you identify your most important metric—the one that drives decisions, tells you if you're on track, and unlocks the next level of clarity in your business.
