In today’s information economy, data is everything. Data drives every aspect of business, and a lack of data can lead to failures and mistakes that would otherwise have been avoided. Mobile Tech RX makes it easy to access and visualize all the data you need to make the decisions that will grow your business efficiently and effectively.
Define Your Goals
What are you hoping to achieve with your data-driven decision making? Do you want to increase sales, improve customer satisfaction, or reduce costs? Once you have a goal in mind, you can start to collect the data you need to inform your decision.
When determining your goals, make sure you follow the old adage of making them SMART:
● Specific: “Hire three more employees” is better than “hire more people.” Specific goals allow you to better plan your course of action and make decisions more in line with what will help you achieve those goals.
● Measurable: “Increase revenue by 25%” is better than “reevaluate pricing.” You should always know when you’re getting close to reaching your goal and when you can consider it a success.
● Achievable: “Go from 100 clients per month to 150 clients per month” is better than “Go from 100 clients per month to 10,000 clients per month.” Although the second one would be a dream come true, you need your goals to be realistic in order to have a chance of attaining them.
● Relevant: “
● Time-Based: “Accomplish this goal by the end of the year” is better than “accomplish this goal.” With an imposed time limit, you can more effectively take the steps that are required to get you there. Be sure the time limit is just as achievable as the goal itself.
You have to know where you’re going before you start. By having a SMART goal in place, you’re well prepared to leverage your data effectively in pursuit of that goal.

Make Your Plan
Informed decisions are good decisions. The choices you could make are as numerous as the data points you collect, but as long as they’re actionable and created with the intention of driving you toward your goal they’re worthwhile. If a decision doesn’t end up working out the way you expected, use that as an opportunity to learn what can be adjusted next time. Eventually, the choices will come immediately and naturally.
