For example, if your administrative expenses are 15% of total sales and your industry average is 5%, you could be at a serious disadvantage. While you're paying for that corporate masseuse, competitors could be spending 10% more than you on sales and marketing, stealing both market share and the future of your company. If you don't know your industry averages ask your accountant, or contact the editors of the most popular trade magazine for your industry.
