More data doesn’t mean better insight
Many teams track too much and learn too little.
Effective disposal programs focus on a small number of clear indicators.
The metrics that matter
High-performing teams usually track:
- Days from de-fleet to sale
- Clearance rate
- Price variance vs expectation
- Buyer participation depth
- Post-sale adjustments
These metrics explain outcomes, not just activity.
Why clearance rate matters
Top price gets attention. Clearance rate shows consistency.
Low clearance hides problems in:
- Pricing
- Channel selection
- Buyer confidence
It’s an early warning sign.
Use metrics to adjust behaviour
Metrics are only useful if they change decisions.
Review them regularly.
Act on trends, not outliers.
Final thoughts
Good metrics reduce debate.
They turn opinions into decisions.
