Step-by-Step Guide: Exploring Your Altitude Score
Once you've navigated to your Altitude Score page, let me show you what you'll see and how to understand it. Don't worry, it's designed to be intuitive!
See Your Overall Score:
At the very top, you'll notice a prominent number or a visual dial – this is your overall Altitude Score! It gives you an immediate sense of your business's current health. Think of it like a percentage or a score out of 100.
You might also see a colour-coding system (e.g., green for great, amber for good, red for areas needing attention) to make it even easier to interpret.
Dive into Key Performance Areas:
Below your overall score, you'll see your business health broken down into several key categories. These are the different pillars that contribute to your overall score.
You might see sections covering things like:
Marketing Reach: How well are you connecting with potential customers?
Operational Efficiency: How smoothly are your day-to-day operations running?
Customer Satisfaction: How happy are your guests with their experiences?
Financial Health: A glimpse into your business's economic strength.
Online Presence: How strong is your digital footprint and online visibility?
Each of these categories will have its own individual score and often a brief explanation or key metrics that contribute to it.
Understand the Details:
For each category, you might find a little "i" icon (information icon) or a "Learn More" button. Clicking these will give you a deeper dive into what that specific score means and how it's calculated.
You'll often see specific suggestions or insights related to that particular area. For example, under "Marketing Reach," it might suggest "Improve your social media engagement" or "Review your website's SEO."
Check Your Trend (if available):
Many of our tools, including the Altitude Score, will show you how your score has changed over time. Look for a small graph or an arrow indicating if your score is going up, down, or staying steady. This is incredibly helpful for tracking your progress!
That's it! It’s all about exploring these sections to get a comprehensive understanding of your business's health.
What You Can Do
Your Altitude Score isn't just a number; it's a powerful tool for action! Here’s what you can do with it:
Get a Quick Health Check: Instantly understand where your business stands at any given moment.
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses: Easily see which areas are thriving and which could use a little extra love and attention.
Prioritise Your Efforts: Use the insights to decide where to focus your energy and resources for the biggest impact.
Track Your Growth: Monitor your score over weeks and months to see the positive results of your hard work.
Set Clear Goals: Use specific category scores to set measurable goals for improvement (e.g., "I want to increase my Customer Satisfaction score by 10 points next quarter!").
Inform Your Strategy: Use the data to guide your overall business strategy, ensuring you're always moving forward in the right direction.
Tips to Get the Most Out of This
We want you to get the absolute maximum benefit from your Altitude Score. Here are a few friendly tips:
Visit Regularly: Make it a habit to check your Altitude Score at least once a week or fortnight. This helps you stay on top of things and catch any shifts early.
Don't Just Look, Act: The score is a guide! When you see an area that's not as strong as you'd like, use the insights provided (or explore other Tourism Accelerator resources) to make a plan and take action.
Focus on One or Two Areas at a Time: It can feel a bit overwhelming if you try to fix everything at once. Pick one or two categories with the lowest scores or the biggest impact potential, and focus your efforts there.
Celebrate the Wins: When you see a score go up, acknowledge your hard work! Positive reinforcement keeps you motivated.
Connect the Dots: Think about how changes in one area might affect another. For instance, improving your "Operational Efficiency" might lead to a boost in "Customer Satisfaction."
Use it as a Discussion Starter: If you work with a team or a mentor, share your Altitude Score. It's a fantastic way to spark conversations about strategy and improvement.
