Direct Labor %

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.
