Direct Labor %
Tech labor divided by revenue. I have often said 3 things make profitability in this business: direct labor, advertising and materials. Keep them in line and we have profits. Keep any one of them out of line and we don’t.
# of Office people to production people
How effective is the office staff at controlling one of the three biggies mentioned above?
Marketing Spend
What % of revenue are you spending on marketing? Is it producing increased revenue? Is it being measured? Rather than looking at marketing spend as a percentage of total revenue a more useful ratio would be to look at marketing spend over new sales generated by the spend.
