Many home-based recruiters enjoy the flexibility and independence of working at home; but many are not sure how they can measure their success without the feedback of others.  Well here are a few indicators that can help a home-based recruiter measure how successful their business has become.

1.    Gross revenue.  How much money have you earned as a home-based recruiter this year?  Or this month?  Start out with a base figure and compare your earnings over-time. Increased revenue could be an indicator that your home-based business is experiencing some measure of success.

2.    Profits.  Gross revenue can sometimes be a misleading indicator because of the overhead factor, that's why it's also important to measure how much of your revenue is NOT eaten up by overhead costs.  Profits are an essential indicator of a home-based recruiter's long-term success.

3.    Growth.  Did you increase your sales, profits or the number of clients over time? An increase in business growth can be a clear indicator of success. Take the time to carefully track growth in all areas of your business.

4.    Improved offerings to clients. A home-based recruiter's ability to offer services to clients based on market needs and changes is another indicator of success.  How well did you adapt to changes in the marketplace by offering clients new and improved services?

Don't feel limited by these measurements; feel free to add your own. Each home-based recruiter has his/her own ideas about how success is defined in their business.
