"Just How Good Are You?" - I Program
The "View In" Assessment
"Just How Good Are You?" - I is a powerfully positive Review Program initiated in 2006 in response to a customer's challenge that we find out "Just how good are we?" This program involves unannounced and anonymous field visits to wireless or wireline locations. Our report provides a ""view in" to the company's retail and customer-facing issues from the customer's perspective. We will describe your operation exactly how we find it.
The "Just How Good Are You?" - I Assessment will include:
- A detailed description, along with the crucial "first impression", of the physical location. Factors such as cleanliness, visibility, ease of locating, upkeep of the property, and signage will be addressed.
- Detailed findings pertaining to personnel and staffing. Factors such as personal appearance and grooming, professionalism, expertise and product knowledge, and personality of the staff will be addressed.
- Description of the interior appearance of site. Factors such as organization, cleanliness, customer-friendliness, and layout will be addressed.
- Observations of atmosphere, including how well staff deals with other customers and interactions between staff members during business hours will be observed and reported.
- Our professional opinion and impressions regarding your place of business, including a finding of whether or not the business is one that we ourselves would chose to use as a customer, and if we would recommend your business to others.
The "Just How Good Are You?" Assessment can be done once, or with multiple visits over a set period of time. This report will give you a "view in", without bias, and will tell you how customers and potential customers see your business. It will answer the important question:
"Does your company make it easy for customers to buy what they need from you – today?"
The "Just How Good Are You?" Assessment has been called "the single most important investment" you can make to help your business achieve its potential.

"Just How Good Are You?" II Program
Business Operational Review
"Just How Good Are You?" II is a continuation of our "Just How Good Are You?" I Program.
This program is a business operational review, combining information gathered from field visits with an analysis of the Customer-Facing areas of operation, such as:
- Processes
- Procedures
- Systems
- Employee and Management Views, Attitudes and Performance
This approach offers a combination of a "covert view-in" to your company's customer-facing areas, and adds an internal view of these same areas. Facilities where customers visit or interact with your employees, sales, customer care, and billing will be reviewed, as well as a review of products and services offered, inventory, and productivity levels. Other internal issues, such as marketing, will be addressed.
For example, we will discuss with your staff what their roles and responsibilities are. We will ask them how favorably they rate their own performance. We will observe their performance and learn how they interface with clients and others with whom interaction is required. We have developed specific process flows, which we will use to help us understand interdepartmental cooperation or roadblocks.
Many times decreases in sales and/or productivity have to do more with entities or practices that are not obvious, than with the sales organization or the service organization. Our goal is to help you identify and solve problems. In discussing these issues with employees, often we uncover solutions.
The cooperation of your key executives and employees is required to ensure we learn "Just how good you are" and advise you with the most appropriate plan of action for you and your enterprise.

"JUST THE BASICS" Version I
(Designed specifically for the Wireless Telecom Industry)
This course was designed to address the needs of wireless business owners and dealers who discovered that their employees did not know "the basics" of proper business etiquette. "Just The Basics I" is not intended to be a specific training course in wireless products and services, but rather, a course designed to educate employees in proper behavior in the workplace, and beyond.
The question that all companies must address to become successful is:
"Does our company make it easy for the customer to buy what they need from US today?"
In that regard, we know that customers will not find it easy to buy from employees who are impolite, poorly groomed, aloof, or ignorant of the products and services they offer.
This is a 3 ½ hour class, designed for all employees to attend. The subject matter covers basic practices in any workplace. It includes segments in:
- Customer Care
- Business Office Procedures
- Integrity and Ethics
- Standard Company Policy regarding:
- Attendance
- Punctuality
- Business protocol
- Proper etiquette
- Expectations for behavior of the employee.
Ten years ago, this course would not have been offered as part of our program. However, in today's workplace, we have determined that many companies have employees who do not understand basic professional politesse. It stands to reason that if your employees reflect your business, and their behavior may mean the difference between your success and failure. We suggest that all employees attend this course and that all new employees attend upon hiring.
- Course length: 3 ½ hours
- Number in class: 20 – 25
- Minimum of 10

Sales Management Training
~OR~
How To Become a Successful Sales Manager
This is a two-day course that teaches sales managers to:
Learn, Know, Understand, and Demonstrate
their ability to lead the sales organizations by example and by knowledge that they can do what their sales force is expected to do in the area of Sales, or as we call it: "Making it easy for the customer or prospect to buy from me - today."
This course will focus upon the knowledge and expertise required of any manager. The course will also show, via demonstration, the How, Why, When, and Where of Sales. Sales managers must demonstrate the key role of "leadership by example" to every area of management.
Sales Managers may help "set sales quotas", and they will share the objective as their own. Sales performance and "HOW TO" will be paramount in this 2-day training session. It will also inform the Sales Manager or Aspiring Sales Manager the technique known as "The Process Sale", which is a discovery method to determine customer needs. The Process Sale is designed to build alliances with our customers and ensure long term relationships through our understanding that we know their needs and are able to solve their problems, and that we will make it easy for them to buy what they need from us – today.

The purpose of these inquiries is to determine which of your products and services are most appropriate for any of your clients or prospective clients.
