first time.

to make more profit for your company.
Each KPI is explained to you in a way that is extremely easy to understand, even if you have never been exposed to Key Performance Indicators before. This has been achieved by ensuring that each Key Performance Indicator is written in jargon-busting plain English which is condensed to a single page together with its industry benchmark; it couldn't be easier! It really is the ultimate guide o understanding the key performance indicators of your business.
Do you know, and more importantly,
do all of your managers know the trade secrets about making more profit in every
department and which KPI to study?
Do they know how to improve their current departmental performance and which
KPI are responsible?
Most managers learn by their own experience, which can take years, that's why
this Motor Industry specific book is an essential tool for revealing all the
trade secrets about how to make more profit and keep it in your dealership.
"When
you only have time for answers…
The KPI Book is the perfect management tool"
When Professor Garel Rhys OBE saw The KPI Book for himself, his first words were…
"This book is absolutely invaluable to everyone within the Motor Industry."
Professor
Rhys was delighted to write the Foreword for the book
and here's an extract of what he has to say:
 |
"The "goodies" to be found in this volume should stimulate excitement; the excitement that follows really understanding important concepts and seeing their relevance and importance. It does not hesitate to tackle issues head on and the result is a straightforward way of illuminating complex issues with a focussed and clear light." |
| Professor
Garel Rhys OBE Director of the Centre of Automotive Industry Research Cardiff University Business School. |

You
don't have to study; you get the knowledge you need. Fast!
The KPI Book gives you the information you want, in the way that you want it. Absolute clarity for your complete understanding in less than 2 minutes. Every page gets straight to the point by informing you of what each KPI is used for together with a working example so that you can get the very best results out of your business.
There are thousands of Line Managers and Dealer Principals from all over the world have e-mailed, telephoned or written to us to say how much they value The KPI Book. Take a sneak preview for yourself and make up your own mind.
Understanding your dealership has never been so easy!
Now, you and your team have a central point of reference to put you on the fast track to understanding your own business performance and Daily Operating Controls. The KPI Book measures 13.5 cm x 20.5 cm and is designed to fit snugly into your briefcase so that you can keep it to hand making sure that you exploit every profit opportunity that comes your way.
There are more than 200 Key Performance Indicators currently in use within the motor industry today, and to maximise every opportunity and to make more profit, you are expected to know them all. It's unlikely that you will remember all of them, and that's why this book is so valuable to have at your side.
If any of your managers do not fully understand all their departmental information, what chance do you think they have of making the right decisions for your business and to make more profit?
The key to success is measuring the effects of your actions and responding to them quickly so that you can boost your profits further rather than taking the risk of hoping that everything is OK at the end of the month.
As a manager of a dealership or a department you have to know what is working and what is not working to maximise your opportunities and the best way of achieving this is to measure your efforts with reliable Key Performance Indicators.
The top performers within the Automotive Industry are constantly measuring KPI but the main problem is knowing which KPI are the most important for influencing profitability? Unless you are working with KPI everyday, the task of understanding everything about them is daunting; there are just too many of them, and frankly, it can get very confusing!
Which KPI are the most useful
in each department?
Which KPI should I have in my D.O.C's?
Which KPI tell me the most about my General Management?
Which KPI are essential to monitor?
Which KPI are unnecessary?
Which KPI help me to make more profit in every department?
