We all want to perform better. Yet for many businesses yield improvement is a difficult topic. Entrepreneurs and managers deliberate about their business yields on a daily basis. The market is still problematic and pressure on prices is the order of the day. Are you getting everything out of your business? Or could there be more?
The yield at the bottom of the column is the result of the choices made by the entrepreneur and within the business. Roughly speaking, yield is the difference between turnover and costs. The challenge is to maintain or increase turnover and minimise costs. This requires action on both fronts.
There is more profit in your business than you may think. Naturally, the specific culture of your business and the dynamics of the sector in which you operate, have their role to play. Focusing on, for example, strategy, innovation or human resources policy will make an average yield improvement of 5% possible. This is shown in an analysis of the results from the BDO Revenue Monitor, an online tool that our clients use to link their annual figures to their current and targeted scores on nine crucial business elements.
If you would like to know where your hidden yields are, you can use BDO's Revenue Monitor to easily analyse your improvement potential in terms of both quality and quantity. On the basis of nine performance fields it is set out clearly where you can realise profits. The monitor is unique because it makes an estimate of your improvement potential in hard Euros. And you can work with that.
