So What’s New And…
Why Is There A Need For A Third Edition?
There are many new things contained inside this brand new book, and the good news is that everything follows the exact same structure as the original world’s #1 best-seller, so you know you’re going to get the information you need without having to study; Yes, you get all the answers instantly and a lot more of them!
We all know that change happens, but if you’re still relying upon old, obsolete or out-dated KPI to run your business, it’s like having a tyre with a slow puncture… OK, it might not be urgent right now, you can get by, you can keep on working and you can keep on filling the tyre with air everyday. However, you know deep down inside that until you fix the leak, the air in your tyre will continue escaping and as you apply more pressure everyday, the leak will get bigger.
Taking Action Quickly Is Quite Often
The Difference Between Success And Failure
You already know that if problems are not rectified quickly, they become bigger, more dangerous and a lot more expensive to put right. However, the truth is that you need new tools to know that a leak even exists in today’s new business environment and without these tools, you could be running with a slow puncture without knowing about it – hence the need to upgrade the key performance indicators you’re using.
The “slow puncture syndrome” happens in your business when you use old and out-dated KPI, your valuable profit escapes and you won’t get the results you truly deserve.
If you continue relying upon old and out-dated KPI, then you’ll just keep on “pumping in more air” into the slow puncture to keep things going. However, the worst thing is that whilst you’re busy, trying to figure things out and wondering what’s going wrong, those businesses who made the changes quickly, suddenly race ahead of you at a much greater speed.
If You Use Old Information,
You Won’t See New Problems
It can be very frustrating when you can’t se
e, nor understand why your results are not as you expected them to be in your business and it’s often because profits leaks are invisible when they first occur. In some instances, the solutions are as simple as looking at things in a different way or asking different questions of your operational performance and as you know already, this is exactly why KPI exist.
Using the correct key performance indicators helps you to question your business actions in a structured and systematic way so you can accurately isolate profit leaks so you’re properly armed to quickly take the right actions in your business.
However, if you don’t use the most current KPI intelligence, you may not know that new problems exist and you’ll simply get left behind and you’ll be left wondering why; it can be extremely frustrating and totally infuriating! But it doesn’t have to be that way…

I Already Have A Copy Of The KPI Book,
Do I Need To Upgrade?
Here’s A Quick Look At The Difference Between The Editions
Looking at the front cover, this brand new book looks exactly the same as the others apart from those two words “Third Edition”. It’s exactly the same height and the same width, but the spine is quite a bit thicker and that’s because there’s a whopping 144 more pages than the first edition!
In this image, Jeff is holding the First Edition next to the Third Edition so you can see for yourself how much more information there in this new upgraded volume.
Is There A Catch? The page size and the font size and are exactly the same as the first edition which confirms that this new book is not marketing hype, it’s not simple trickery, it really does have a massive upgrade of 144 pages that are crammed full with even more valuable information about understanding your business that you didn’t have before. So to answer the question, “No, there’s no catch”, there’s 60% more content and it’s absolutely real.
The First Edition was published in 2001,
the second edition published in 2014,
but a lot has changed since then
If your business goals and objectives have changed over the last year or so, then it’s highly likely that you need to change the way you measure what you do by embracing the very latest KPI intelligence to make sure you don’t miss out. This is exactly why The KPI Book Third Edition exists.
The winning formula of the book stays the same in that the page title, the formula, the benchmarks are following the same trusted structure which led to the success of the first edition. The big difference is that you’re getting all the brand new, cutting-edge KPI and business concepts, PLUS all of the new and adjusted benchmarks and baselines PLUS all of the the very latest up-to-date information to keep you and your business ahead of the game.
Important Note:
Due to the massive changes in the economy with COVID-19 and the new scientific evidence that has been uncovered by Jeff with these new KPI and their working practices, it means adjustments have been made to the benchmarks and baselines and therefore this Third Edition makes the First and Second Editions officially out-of-date, antiquated and obsolete. Due to this fact, we can no longer support the previous editions because they’re missing the vital information for today’s market.
It’s Difficult To Improve In The Current Economy Without
Embracing The Most Up-To-Date Key Performance Indicators
The Top Achievers are constantly measuring KPI and The KPI Book Third Edition has all the very latest KPI to help you navigate through the toughest of challenges that are facing you in today’s difficult trading environment. Unless you are working with KPI everyday, the task of understanding everything about them and how they are changing is daunting; there are just too many of them, and quite frankly, it can get very confusing without the right help at your side.
Why take the risk of relying upon old and
out-dated information?
Understanding Your Business
Has Never Been So Easy!
Now, you and your team have a truly global central point of reference for today’s environment to put you on the fast track to understanding your own business performance and every single aspect of your Daily Operating Controls and you’ll never be lost for ideas for what to do next
There are more than 300 KPI currently in use within the automotive industry today and you are expected to know them all. But in reality, it’s highly unlikely you’ll remember all of them, and that’s why you don’t want to be anywhere without this book by your side to give you the confidence you need and the time when you need it most.
Probably even more important than that is if any of your managers do not fully understand all their departmental information, what chance do they have of making the right decisions for your business and to make more profit if they don’t have the correct clarity and understanding? The key to success is measuring the effects of your actions and responding to them quickly so that you can boost your profits everyday rather than working harder and harder in the vein hope that everything is going to be OK at the end of the month. It’s not worth the risk and you are more valuable than that.

Be The Master Of Performance Reviews,
And Never Be Lost For The Right Words To Say
The ability to explain things well to your boss, or your team, is often the biggest secret to success when you want to clarify your performance or if you want to excite people with new ideas. Most managers learn by their own experience, which can take many years filled with frustrating, expensive and time consuming trial-and-error strategies that sap all the energy and enthusiasm out of you. But there’s no need to continue along that route because The KPI Book Third Edition has all the answers so you can avoid years of pain and frustration and get the results you deserve in the fastest possible time.
