How I doubled my billings using KPIs

Yes, I know! Key Performance Indicators (or KPIs as they are often known) are dirty words to many - but they shouldn't be! During my time as a recruiter and owner-manager of an executive search business, I successfully used KPIs to double my billings. Since starting Davidson Gray, I've also used the same method of using KPIs to help many of our partner recruitment businesses to bill successfully and sustainably. In this video, I look at how I found KPIs can be used most effectively and how you can use them to increase your own billings. If you liked this video, I also have a blog and audio podcast on the subject of how to use KPIs effectively and why bad managers give KPIs a bad name. You can find them here:
