Introduction

Statistics show up everywhere in business and it is important that they are acknowledged and, at least, partly understood to help manage your business successfully.

Statistics can be seen as an early warning system as they will always give you the cold truth if they are used properly and not with blind faith in your business processes from cash flow to a successful sales campaign.

Small businesses need to show particular attention, as a slight error in judgement or interpretation could spell disaster or, inevitably, failure.

The financial and marketing sides of business are the two main areas that produce statistics and so this is where we will direct most of our attention.

Statistics often give us an incentive to take action as results can be measured, and this is precisely what the article aims to achieve by increasing your understanding and awareness.
