Key Talking Points

• Processes- often the most neglected of the key components of EOS. Documenting doesn’t have to involve every single detail. No more than 5 pages, 1 page is ideal. Delegate and elevate to someone’s genetic encoding. Also helps with scaling the business to multiple locations.
• 20% documented, 80% follow by all- don’t expect to follow 100%, you’ll end up frustrating everyone. Rigidity is the enemy of production- need flexibility.   
• Scripts (professional presentation)- learn it word for word then can free up brain to think and listen to others
• Example: Service advisor sales process- incoming call (what is the call trying to achieve? Get the right customer in, keep the wrong customer out. Use the presentation, get the key information, set a specific appointment, invite them in), reception, inspection, post-inspection presentation, reselling of value, 3-day call, 30 days follow up call 
• “Systemize the predictable so you can humanize the exceptional.”  
• Who should create the process? The people doing the process so they own it and have buy-in. They are also the most qualified since they do it every day.  
• Core procedures- identify core processes, document, and package
• Leadership team- IDS (identify discuss and solve) the procedures and train. 
• Best way to get started? START! What are your top 20 processes? Don’t procrastinate. 
• What do you learn from processes? Repeating multiple steps and inefficiencies .
• EOS Life- do what you love, with the people you love, making huge impact, being properly compensated, and having time for other passions
