Posted by Mike Lieberman on Jul 30, 2016 4:30:00 PM

July is quickly coming to an end which means the summer’s end is not too far behind too. Now is the perfect time to assess how the first part of the year went and make adjustments so you can finish 2016 strong.

But what inbound agency numbers do you used to measure your agency? Do you compare yourself to other agencies or do you compare your performance against your own expectations and goals?

You’re tight with a handful of other agency owners and you talk from time to time about how you’re doing. This is great but be careful about the advice you get from other agencies and be even more careful about comparing your inbound agency numbers to their numbers.

Inbound agencies are like people. They’re all different. Some agency owners are running lifestyle businesses, others are trying to grow aggressively, while still others are just trying to get by. When you compare notes and inbound marketing agency numbers you have to keep that in mind.
