It is not enough to have a plan and execute on it. Tracking results is a critical step towards success.
Knowing how you did starts with knowing where you are. Before putting your plan into action, take stock of where you currently stand. Then set some realistic objectives for what you want to accomplish.
But what metrics to track? That depends on your organization. What’s important to you? For a non-profit, it might be awareness so media impressions might be a key indicator. For a business with a long sales cycle, it could be qualified leads. In many cases, sales are the only thing that matters. The key is to identify the metrics that will help you measure your success.
As you roll out your plan, be sure to check in often to see how you are doing. Your results will indicate whether you are successful or not. And what you learn can also help you plan your next steps.
