If the only number you’re tracking for estimators is “Estimates Sent ($)”… you’re flying blind.
That’s the outcome.
It doesn’t tell you where margin is leaking.
In this quick video I walk through 3 leading KPIs I like for estimator scorecards:
• Cycle time from “all info received” → “estimate sent”
• Average adjustment % from initial estimate
• F9 note utilization (we like a 25% line-item ratio)
Speed impacts objections.
Documentation impacts negotiations.
Adjustment % exposes erosion.
And instead of telling an estimator “do better,” you give them something measurable and specific.
That’s how KPIs actually change behavior.
What are you tracking upstream for your estimators?

Annual business check-ups can reveal unexpected blind spots. For one company, centralizing estimations became a key focus. It's a reminder that sometimes, the biggest changes come from the most routine evaluations. Have you re-evaluated lately?
Is it the process or the person? Sometimes you need an outside eye to really see what's going on. Training new estimators from scratch can be a real challenge if they don't know what they need.
Change can be tough, but sometimes an outside perspective brings clarity. It's about speaking up, even when it's hard, because honesty is what matters most. Some things "will keep you up at night" if left unsaid. Have you felt this?
