A proposal with a 50% chance of converting is worth half its potential value in your forecast. Your CRM system is a fantastic asset that many business owners don’t use to its full potential.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average project value\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding this helps you know how many new clients or projects you actually need to hit your targets.

Knowing how many clients stay with you helps predict baseline revenue. Improving your retention rate can boost your bottom line without you having to increase your ad spend.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resource utilisation \u003C/span>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For service businesses, this is crucial. If your team is consistently at 85% utilisation, you know when you’ll need to hire before they burn out. You’ll also be able to more accurately predict whether you can hit client deadlines, providing them with a more reliable service – win-win!\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project profitability \u003C/span>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all revenue is equal.

Are there seasonal fluctuations? Do certain types of clients tend to pause projects at particular times? Most agencies find their income isn’t as unpredictable as they initially thought.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take 30 minutes to review these patterns each month.
