How to Avoid Unprofitable Client Work: A Guide to Mastering Utilization Rates
Your agency works hard for the clients you serve, but your business can’t sustain doing that great work if it isn’t profitable. But, in order to avoid that unprofitable client work, you’ll need to master the one metric that holds the key to your efficiency & profitability: Your Utilization Rate.
Unfortunately, only 18% of agencies always reach their internal utilization targets, and just 1 in 4 are hitting industry standard benchmarks for billable utilization (Source: The State of Agency Operations 2023).
Ready for a change? If so, in this webinar you’ll learn:
The Challenges to Measuring Utilization Rates (& how to overcome them)
Billable Utilization Targets and Benchmarks
Tactics for Accurately Tracking Billable vs Non-Billable Time
The Connection Between Utilization & Profitability (& how to master it)
