How to take the Level 5 Test Drive:
- Identify up to 5 clients/prospects you want to target. Look for business owners that are open minded, entrepreneurial (always trying new things), have 5 or more employees, an established product or service, and are enjoyable to work with.
- Set up meetings (allow 45 - 60 minutes)
- Download and print out the Level 5 Service graphic (see below).
- Review the dialogue between Jack and Bennie - follow the script for describing Level 5 Service embedded in that dialogue. Review the Level 5 Service videos for more scripting options.
- Practice your presentation with a colleague. Get their feedback.
- Meet with your target client/prospect - explain that you would like their feedback on a new service offering. Don't try to close the sale in this first meeting - that's too much pressure. Remember this is a test drive to gauge your clients' level of interest in expanding their relationship with you.
- How you would rate the quality of decision support you have to work with at the present time?
- What additional decision support would you like?
- How are you currently sharing information/feedback with the team?
- What key performance indicators are you currently monitoring?
- Do you use any kind of business dashboard to run your business?
- How might the Level 5 process improve your overall operations?
- How would your company be different if you were operating at Level 5 quality information.
- How would your role as owner be different if you were operating at Level 5?
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines . . .
