Service Leadership Index® Benchmark Reports

Why the Service Leadership Index®?

The driving passion of Service Leadership is to enable Solution Provider (SP) owners to receive fair (high) value for their risk and the high value they deliver to vendors and end customers.

The Top Quartile SPs in each business model and in all geographies, earn about 3x the bottom line profit percent (EBITDA %) of their Median peers, regardless of their size, age, owner compensation, client profile or vendor selections. That is 3x the cash flow and 3x the stock value, doing essentially the same things for the same client profiles, regardless of geography. All SP owners should and can perform at this level.

While benchmarking necessarily looks at past performance, past performance is the best predictor of future performance and the only effective way to diagnose management skill and prescribe improvements. Financial benchmarking is the foundation for all likely, sustained improvements in financial performance of SPs. Without an objective comparison of financial performance, the likelihood of improving that performance is compromised.

Without the Service Leadership Index®, or something like it, strategy and tactics to improve profits and growth are to a material degree without foundation.
