where to find benchmarks?

[Steve B]

ann you seem to have a very good business mind. The importance of benchmarking was taught in the business schools I went to and is standard practice for many organizations. It is certainly something that investors would be interested in. I've always worked for big companies and the ones I worked for did it. Of course, getting the information is one thing. Making effective use of it is the important thing.

thats what i thought.........and i did found some places that talk a lot about it.... it sure takes a big knowledge of your numbers and the words involved to use the tool tho.... ive got some more digging to do...
i would much rather have someone tell me all the general info for small retail stores.. ..ha ha..i want the info not the work...
