All About KPIs

For any business, the best KPIs help companies determine what they're doing well and where they need to improve.

KPIs are metrics that provide insights into a business's underlying financial and operational strength. They can be based on any data important to a company, such as sales per square foot of retail space, click-through rate for web ads, or accounts closed per salesperson.

Many KPIs are financial ratios that highlight important relationships in data, such as the ratio of profit to revenue or the ratio of current assets to current liabilities.

A single KPI measurement can provide a useful snapshot of the business's health at a specific time.

KPIs are even more powerful when they're used to analyze trends over time to measure progress against targets or compare the business with similar companies.

A KPI is even more valuable when you place it in context with other meaningful KPIs.
