Decisions that can be made from the chart above: 1. If the number of clients is too high and you don’t have time to service them, you should raise your prices by 15-20%. This will help you find that “perfect client”, and get rid of people who price shop. 2. If your average sale is too low, then raise your prices. 3. If your number of clients and average sale are too low, try removing that revenue stream from marketing. 4. If your number of clients is low and your average sale is high, you can try to increase your marketing to sell more products and services.
