Why do we still pay Al
Levi for ongoing consulting
three years after we
first started working
together?
Because I know how easy
it would be to fall back
into our old bad habits.
You know what I mean?
We used to think we
were too busy to meet,
but Al taught us that the
busier we are, the more
important it is to meet and stay in synch.

Life before Planning Power!
was like knowing you need to
go to the gym and lose weight
or work out, these are the
things you KNOW your supposed
to do, but don’t. The
answers are all the same,“not
enough hours in the day” or
“I am too busy working to
focus on that.” We are all guilty
for more reasons than can
be listed.

"We selected a new flat rate
manual and Al has taught us selling
strategies for our new pricing
- and it's resulting in higher sales
per job and greater profits. Bad
repairs that hurt the company and
resulted in a greater call-back

eliminated."

Al has enabled us to look at this business in a totally new way. We no longer blame our employees for our failures. We’ve learned that we have a responsibility to them and to us, to make this a more rewarding place to work. We finally have the power to take our company to the next level!

Our last Planning Power Session was very
intense. Al spent a lot of time interviewing
employees in order to get a “real” feel for how the
Company conducts business on a day-to-day basis
versus what he may have been told by either
myself or just one or two other people in the
organization.

Al’s visit was a real eye
opener.Now we have a
clear agenda of projects
and can stay focused on
the changes we need to
make. For example,we
plan to implement a field
supervisors program, and
we now know that we want and need to get out of the warehouse business.As a direct result
of Al’s visit,we are actually accomplishing goals and the company is growing!

Going through a needs assessment
with Al puts all of your problems out into the open. It’s sort of like going to confession
and you feel better after a very tough day of identifying portions of your business that
need some serious work.

After numerous conversations with Al Levi, I decided that Al was someone who not only had been in my shoes
but had made big changes for his own company. Al Levi has the knowledge of being an employee for not only his
dad but his brothers as well and had operated a contracting business for more than 25 years.

projects to work on at the right

Right from the get-go, Al helped us
assess our priority projects that needed to
be worked on. We assembled the top five
of those projects, and after less than a year
of working with Al, changes are being made
that have helped us leap forward to become
a better run, better-managed company–and
on top of that, a profitable company.

Al truly helped our Techs see the light! It was a great mix of

Since implementing the Operating Manuals with Al, we have seen much better closing rates with phone calls. Our technicians are less frustrated because they now have a manual that outlines exactly what their job is, and the dispatchers are making better decisions. Everyone knows what to do, how to do it and who to go to when they don’t.

skills into practice has already made a positive

Things around our shop began to transform from chaotic to coming under control with Al's
