227 Farm Marketing Metrics to Be Tracking
September 6, 2023 by Corinna
What metrics are you tracking in your business? When I first took the reins of sales/marketing in my business, I didn’t know I SHOULD be tracking metrics, much less which ones!
Peter Drucker (wise, business man) once said: “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.”
SO TRUE.
Please trust me: if you haven’t starting measuring data, you’re leaving money on the table. The data is there, waiting to show you something. Don’t be afraid of it. Let it guide you.
In today’s podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing a list of data points you can track in your farm business that affect your sales and marketing. What levers do you have to pull in your business? What do the numbers actually tell you? What are the most important metrics that push the needle in your business?
You won’t know until you start tracking them.
When you see the numbers, it alerts you to what’s working and what’s not working. You’ll be able to adjust your sales strategy. You’ll know where you need to allocate resources to make you more money. You might even realize you can stop doing something altogether.
So get a pen and paper out. Take some notes. Then use this information and go set up a tracking system on a Google Sheet where you can store these numbers.
