Factors affecting your return on sales
Several macro- and microeconomic factors influence your ROS and whether it’s considered good or bad. Some you can change and manage, while others are beyond your control. These are the primary factors you should be aware of.

Industry standards
Optimal ROS benchmarks differ depending on your industry, market, sector, and specialization. Knowing the standard for businesses like yours will help gauge whether your ROS meets the bar and whether your sales and business processes are working.

Operating costs

For example, business expansion may result in you bringing previously outsourced processes into your internal operations, potentially reducing operating costs. With an increase in revenue and a reduction in operating expenses, you’re sure to see improvements in your ROS as your business grows.
