 It’s vital, these days, to make sure you’re getting the most out of on-premises sales staff. If goals are being met and revenue is where you want it to be, you may not need to use any measuring devices. But if there is a problem, the following ratios, if applicable to your particular business, may help you pinpoint the problem, analyze it, and take action. The ratios can be applied to your entire business, to a division or department, or to one employee. Progress can be measured by comparing numbers from one month to the next.Ratio 1: Total sales compensation/ gross sales = direct selling costs (%).
Ratio 2: Gross sales/total hours worked by salespeople = sales dollars per hour. Ratio 3: Number of sales/number of full-time-equivalent sales people = number of sales per salesperson. Ratio 4: Gross sales/ number of full-time-equivalent sales people = sales dollars per salesperson. Ratio 5: Gross sales/ number of sales transactions = average sales dollars per transaction.
