Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for Home Improvement

To name a few:

Project & Sales KPIs

  • Lead Conversion Rate: Percentage of leads that convert into actual paying projects. Tracks the effectiveness of your sales process.

  • Number of Estimates vs. Jobs Booked: Analyze your success in turning estimates into closed deals.
  • Referral Rate: Percentage of business coming from referrals by prior clients. A strong referral rate indicates positive experiences.

Customer Satisfaction KPIs

  • Net Promoter Score (NPS): Measures the likelihood of clients recommending your services. High NPS indicates loyalty.
  • Customer Satisfaction Surveys (CSAT): Track satisfaction with specific aspects like workmanship, communication, project completion, etc.
  • Client Retention Rate: Percentage of clients who return for additional projects. Builds a loyal client base.
  • Online Reviews: Monitor reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, or industry-specific sites. Actively address and learn from feedback.

Financial KPIs

Operational KPIs
