Do You Know The Value Of A Survey?

Posted by admin | Executive Insight | Thursday 15 January 2009 10:33 am

The George S. May International Company’s Survey Analysis is an excellent way to find out:

  • Break-Even Point
  • Key Operating Ratios
  • Cost Control Effectiveness
  • Organizational Problems
  • Growth Potential
  • Profit Potential
  • Quality Systems Status, and Much More!

Profit Analysis:

Unlike the clients’s CPA or Chartered Accountant, who works with the financial history of a business as it relate to income tax implications, our Survey Analyst works with the profit potential of the business as it relates to the future. Our Analyst can do nothing to impact the past, but his or her work can substantially improve the profit picture for the future of that client.

Our Analyst during the Survey will perform a profit analysis pointing out areas of waste and inefficiency. This study will include a calculation to a tenth of a percentage point the profit potential of the business. Areas of lost profit opportunity will be discussed with the client in a manner that the client will have a clear picture of where to improve the financial well being of the business through profit management. This profit analysis could demonstrate thousands of dollars of lost profit for the average business.

NOTE: This part of the Survey is worth the $350.00 Survey fee by itself.

Human Resource Analysis

Most business owners have no idea of the productivity levels of their employees. Add to this, the fact that most have no method to evaluate employee morale.

It is not uncommon for the business owner to believe that all of the employees are content with their jobs and are working at full capacity. Our experience with over 10,000 new Surveys a year clearly demonstrates that most businesses do not maximize their human resources. The Survey Analyst uses questionnaires together with employee interviews and the power of observation to report on the level of productivity and employee morale.

When the Analyst arrives at the client, the Analyst has never met the employees before and will no doubt, never see them again. Our Analyst is not influenced by relatives or friends of the business owner. The business owner will get an objective review of the utilization factor of the employees for the first time.

NOTE: The review of human resources is worth the $350.00 Survey fee by itself.

    No matter how experienced one becomes, there is just so much information that one can overlook. All of the very valuable information serves as a reminder and refresher of that. It is so amazing, when you think about it, that there is a bottomless pit of support and helpful data at the end of a phone or end of the fingers regarding every conceivable topic, situation and business culture.
    TRAINING NEVER ENDS. Thanks to everyone for that. Earl

    There is so much value for business owners to run the survey. It is essential for business owners to have a reasonable idea of where there business stands today, and where it can be in the future. Our survey not only provides that picture, but also recommends the best route of getting there. Good Post!
