How does Lumeno.us allow me to filter and compare my numbers against aggregates?
Our primary method for correlating data is by the profile you complete when you register. Thus the more detailed your profile and interest tags, the more variety in filtering methods will be possible. The norm for industry averages and/or data aggregation is to follow industry classification systems and other details such as region and size of business. We capture region and size as well but are looking for more descriptive characteristics. With Lumeno.us you’ll find more value than is possible by comparing all of your numbers to all businesses that the government or an analyst has decided should be grouped into one classification code. For example, when you’re comparing notes on lease rates or accounting fees, you probably want to compare within your region and company size. When you’re comparing notes on sales-force compensation, you need to compare to companies with a similar sales model—whether telesales, field sales-people, indirect sales-force, or business development consultants
