Manufacturers: Benchmark Your Business Growth Have you ever wondered how well your business compares to the industry or to fast-growing companies in other industries? As a free member benefit, NSSF members will be able to benchmark their business practices to the business practices of other members and to a database of fast-growing companies. Growth Strategy Partners, a research-based management consulting firm focusing on the firearms, defense and security industries, has compiled a database of more than 600 fast-growing company benchmarks and created the Benchmarks for Growth Evaluation. They are offering NSSF members the free opportunity to benchmark their business practices to this proprietary database. NSSF is also interested in learning the aggregate results of this evaluation. This evaluation is first being offered to NSSF's manufacturing members, so watch your e-mail for the invitation arriving later this week. Learn more about Growth Strategy Partners.
