Purpose: Sub Total - A high score (above 30) indicates that your growth plan is grounded in a strong sense of purpose. You take a holistic view on growth planning that goes way beyond "making lots of money." Your people are most likely as excited about your mission as you are. A low score in this area (below 30) indicates that you are not communicating clearly about your company’s true purpose and priorities. Your employees may feel disconnected from the company goals, or you may be struggling to attract and retain highly productive, passionate employees.

  9. Target/Problem: We know who our ideal clients are, where they are and what problems, issues and challenges they are facing.

11. Value: We have documented a number of client-centered benefits that our clients receive when they use our products and services, and that answer the question, "What's in it for me?"

13. Proof: We have a number of written client success stories to prove that we are able to deliver the outcomes and value that we promise.

15. Team alignment: As an organization, we are unified and clear on our brand value and the experience we want to deliver our clients.

Positioning Sub Total - A high score in this area (above 45) indicates that you have a well-documented, updated understanding of your market position, and have communicated this effectively to the marketplace. Your teams are clear on what makes you unique, and the emotional reasons your clients buy from you. A low score in this area (below 45) indicates that you are not communicating clearly about your company’s unique identity and market position. People are likely not showing interest in your company when you talk about what you do. You may also be under-charging for your offerings and allowing less than ideal clients to consume your time.

20. Online: We have a professionally designed, content-rich web site that provides detailed information on our services and includes plenty of valuable free information such as articles, surveys, and reports.

22. Services: Our services are clearly presented on our web site. It's no mystery what clients get, how we work or what our approach is to solving clients’ problems.

24. Pricing: Our current prices are neither too high nor too low, but an accurate reflection of the value we deliver to our clients.

Packaging Sub Total - A high score in this area (above 24) tells us that you are an excellent communicator. You regularly upgrade your marketing materials and presentations. You also take a client-focused approach to your messaging across all touch points and are confident about how you present your company. You probably experience shorter sales cycles than your competitors and a steady stream of opportunities. With a low score in this area (below 24), you may have gotten initial attention, but now interest is dropping off. People are not really clear about what you can do for them and why your services are a solution to their problems. It is likely that your sales cycles are long and painful. Prospects may be using your free information to find alternative solutions. There are more questions than answers.

26. Relationship: Through all our promotional vehicles people get a sense of who we are, what we stand for, and what our services are really about.

28. Visibility Systems: We stay visible to our target market and expand our credibility through our networking, public relations, and other marketing activities.

30. Consistency: We consistently attract enough of the right clients and we promote each others' services and products. We enjoy working together.

Promotion Sub Total - With a high score, (above 24), your marketing strategies are effective and consistent. You are viewed as an industry thought leader, and are valued for your wisdom. With a low score in this area (below 24), you simply don't have enough visibility and credibility to make much of an impact. You may feel allergic to marketing. Essentially you are an unknown quantity and you haven't built enough trust for people to respond to you.

32. Focus: Whenever I speak to someone about our services and their needs, I am totally focused on what I can do for them - how I can help.

34. Objectives: I am skilled at enrolling clients to use our services by discovering what future objectives are the most important to them.

36. Recommendation: I am successful in asking for the business. I know what to say and do to win a prospect's commitment to our services.

38. Consistency: We personally strive to exceed expectations – and delight our clients – every time.

40. Energy level: I have a great time doing my work, and feel motivated and excited to serve others in my communities. I know how to manage limiting beliefs when they arise.

Personal Effectiveness Sub Total - With a high score (above 45 points), you have discovered the holy grail of balance. Congratulations! This is a priceless life skill. You are also an influential leader who can engage others in your vision. With a low score in this area (below 45), you are having real problems getting others enrolled in your vision, including prospective clients. Too many people ignore your ideas, or delay buying your services. Your follow-up is currently ineffective at moving people to take action. You may also have too many commitments on your plate.

43. Communication: We understand that the key to successful client engagements is clear communication. I work constantly at improving this skill.

45. Requests: We make crystal-clear requests of our clients so they know our joint responsibilities during an engagement. They understand that we are partners.

47. Extra Mile: We do everything in our power to deliver service that consistently exceeds clients' expectations.

Performance Sub Total - A high score in this area (above 30) indicates that you are continuously improving your marketing and delivery systems, and are a master of communication. You are authentic and it shows in front of your clients. They are your biggest fans and evangelists. With a low score in this area (below 30), you are not getting much repeat or referral business, and you probably lack a cogent online marketing strategy. You need to realize that performance is just as much about executing against an easy to understand plan as all the other areas above.
