This document discusses key marketing metrics and how to measure success. It recommends focusing on metrics that measure customer response and cash flow, rather than generic reach metrics. The three most important categories of metrics are identified as: 1) response rates, 2) profitability measures like gross and net profit margins, and 3) liquidity measures like days cash on hand. Price increases are highlighted as one of the most impactful metrics within a business's control. The document emphasizes measuring the right metrics to support business strategy and drive desired financial results.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Valuable = Willing and Able to pay for
- Ability to define a desired resultAbility to influence that resultAbility to measure your influence
- Metrics are a framework to help us understand the world

- Metric = a standard of measurement, not the measure itself!
- Causation, not correlation. (i.e. I believe all tall people I’ve met are smarter than short people. Everyone 5’6” raise your hands. Look around. What you will see is the “tall” population… and that I’m an idiot.)Avoid decision paralysisA wink is not one of the four bases, have to bat first.We’ll never know if that action was good or bad without cash exchanging hands.Paying $3000 to know that “brand recognition” is up 3 points is a waste of money. Ditto for number of media mentions.
- I can make more sales in a number of ways, most tend to hurt profitability.
- I can put more cash in my pocket by increasing profitable sales. Or selling assets. Or licensing IP. Or refinancing debt. Or raising new equity capital. Or working more than one job.
- Result = Value
- One metric that covers all areas.
- The price measure tells us two things:Costs of goods sold management.Value to the market.
- Increases revenue, allows you to extend credit, increases margins, increases perceived value, allows a few screw-ups here and there, etc.
- Reducing costs may not be.
- How about three?
- Consultants – office supplies, printing, utilities, gas, food, etc.
- Average firm resets prices only every 36 months.
- 3-4 tickets/day
- Sales increases may not be.Candy, on average, has increased $0.01/year since the 70’s.What money savings is had from a consultant with “less overhead” than the “big guys”?
- Raising prices will naturally trim unprofitable customers.
- Not talking about pricing out of the market, or not gaining a scalable advantage, just value to the market.Example: Sell to Wal-Mart, every year your price is moved down – and you take it. You deserve to go out of business.
- Result = Value
- There is a problem with “reach” – we do not control it!
- Assumed correlation, not causation. (pageviews don’t magically, or even formulaically, equal sales) This would be like measuring how many times we appeared in search results and extrapolating some meaning from that #.
- Result = Value
- Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?
- Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?
- What is “share of voice”? Too many variables…
- Good for Coca-Cola, no control for us
- Good for Small Business, we can do something starting with response
