By measuring some key benchmark parameters, sales and marketing managers (and owners) can get an accurate sense of both efficiency and effectiveness.

In this webinar we will cover these parameters and the steps you need to take to establish marketing program benchmarks that will make a distinct difference in how you view those activities in the future.

Broadcasted March 23, 1pm EDT 

One of the most difficult aspects of running a business is assessing the effectiveness of employees. There are many ways to do this, and each has social and economic consequences.

Paul and Charlie will present several techniques to evaluate individual and team performance, set performance benchmarks based on your company's situation, and establish the economic parameters to allow you to make fact-based personnel and task-staffing decisions. The establishment of supervisory team performance and upper management performance benchmarks will also be discussed.

Even if you are a very small company, it is useful to know how well the boss is really doing.

Broadcasted February 17, 1pm EST

Getting a good assessment of greenhouse operations is every manager's goal. However, greenhouse operations include more than just the number of units produced per square foot over time. Inventory turnover, overhead costs, number of employees, task organization and how each relates to your gross sales, net income and net profit are key relationships a manager must have a clear understanding of.

In this webinar we will explore how these operational benchmarks affect the strategic profit model, and how one approaches measuring these ratios and relationships.

In the plant world, the key to repeat business is consumer success. That means plants that are easy to care for and will look great all summer. Greenhouse Grower's resident varieties guru Dr. Allan Armitage of the University of Georgia (UGA) presents the top performing annuals based on responses from hundreds of visitors to UGA's trial gardens in 2009.
 
UGA's trial gardens have become the litmus test for plants that can withstand heat and humidity. Armitage will talk about annuals that have looked good for extended periods of time and award winners from the Trial gardens at UGA. As Armitage says, if the plant will perform well in Georgia, it will perform most anywhere.
