Use the numbers well
A KPI is a question starter—not a verdict.
Compare like periods
Compare the same month year over year, or similar operating days, before drawing conclusions.
Look for relationships
Higher sales may come from more visitors, stronger conversion, a larger basket, or some combination.
Add operating context
Exhibitions, events, closures, staffing, promotions, weather, and inventory availability all shape performance.
No obligation. No jargon.
