Bob Dale, Austin, TX
Corelytics helped us in at least 3 ways: 1. Geographic expansion
2. Monthly income to fill in revenue “valleys”
3. Allows us to start working with clients months or years before their M&A
Tips• Review client’s financial statements in first session to learn how they operate• Review dashboard before each coaching session • Don’t make changes to the system yourself, direct the client to • Use a screen-sharing tool such as GoToMeeting• Standardize your agenda for tracking commitments, goals, priorities, and tasks
that the client commits to. Help keep them accountable.

USING THE DASHBOARD WITH CLIENTS
Tony Lael Presents
“I can see myself saving literally days of labor by running a tool like this …”
“I can purely look at adding value not maintaining their numbers.”
“We can take the data analysis from 2 hours down to a few minutes and spend less time on tactics and more time on consultancy.”
“It’s become an integral part of our business.”
“You say it takes 30 minutes a month. I’m finding that it’s only taking me about 10.”
