Friday Business Review: The Numbers Do the Talking

Friday Business Review

Every Friday morning at Go Local Interactive, we conduct a business review for the week.  We meet with multiple teams and review their key metrics, progress, and get updates on the status of the teams as a result of another week’s worth of business.  We review the business from the top down and stay in a conference room for four 1/2 hour sessions.  I share this with you because we have been doing it for quite some time and it works well for us.  My hope is that you can borrow the concept and do something similar for yourself.  Here is the schedule.
