Sunday newsagency challenge: respect your own time

When assessing the labour cost in your business ensure that you cost your own time at the going rate.

As a newsagency management benchmark guide, I suggest a labour cost equal to between 9% and 11% of revenue where revenue is product sales revenue plus commission earned from any agency sales.

If you don’t include the cost of your time it makes comparing your business performance against the benchmark.
