👀 interesting metric + rationale:

"SE-to-PoV Ratio. How many deals can a single Sales Engineer work at a time? It may seem like an odd metric, but I think it captures the "effort to sell" really well. At Horizon3, we had 1 SE working 50+ concurrent deals. At prior companies that ratio was 1:3 (1 SE could only handle 3 deals because of how hard it was to PoV). It's hard to significantly improve this ratio over time"

❝

Here's your weekly reminder that cash flow is the single most important concept for your business.

 

If you're not a finance person, that's okay. You don't need to know all the fancy ratios and metrics.

 

But you do need to know cash flow.

 

Forecast it. Track it. Improve it.

 

Do those 3, and you'll be ahead of 90% of business owners.
