šŸ‘‹šŸ½ Teresa, great question.Ā 

Regarding the pre-planning session survey we typically, recommend asking your team the following ahead of planning sessions:

  • What did we do well as a company, team, or individually during the last planning period? Share some wins!
  • Did we experience any losses or fall short of our goals during the last planning period? If yes, what specific roadblocks or challenges did we come up against?
  • What do you feel has had the greatest impact on your company in the past 3-6 months?
  • What do you see as our single biggest sales and marketing challenge in the next 90 days? And, what can we do to overcome it?
  • Company Priorities: What 3 things should the COMPANY start, stop, or keep doing in the next 90 days?
  • Individual Priorities: What 3 things should YOU start, stop or keep doing to help move the organization forward in the next 90 days?
  • Which team members should we celebrate from this planning period? Why do they deserve recognition?

For the scorecard,

You are able to make those updates directly in the app, by selecting the Update Your Score button on the scorecard page.

Let me know if this answers your question.😁

Will this be your first planning session?
The Big 5 are always a hot topic when dicussing TAYA. If you are just hearing about the 'Big 5" here is the quick list: Cost, Problem, Comparison, Reviews, and Best of.

These are the questions your buyer will have when making a purchasing decision. By creating these articles you give your buyers the answers to their questions so they don't go searching for it elsewhere.

Pretty simple,

Let's test your knowledge on Cost articles.

šŸ‘‹šŸ½ I'll jump in, I live in Semmes AL, a smaller less known city outside of Mobile AL.šŸŒŽ

Outside of work I love to read and spend quality time with the family.šŸ“š

My current role is the Member Success Manager which entails supporting members in IM+ reach their full potential in understanding and implementing TAYA.

I currently get to work for IMPACT and have found a lot of fulfilling lifelong friendships as a result. ā¤ļø

I first learned of TAYA after reading the book during onboarding. The lightbulbs just went off and it all just made sense.Ā 


We know it has a few kinks to work through but holy moly. This will be revolutionary.How do you think this new capability will change the landscape of our workforce in the future, if any?

Hi everyone,We are creating sales bio videos at CharityEngine and I'm trying to get a sense for how long a video should take to product from start to finish. Assuming it has the subject and some b-roll and some photos of the salesperson's hobbies (here's an example bio video that Impact shared https://hub.schellman.com/employee-bios/hema-saxena-video?wvideo=1teguwqc8t). We have a videographer on staff but I'm trying to get a sense for how...

šŸ‘‹šŸ½ Dave, hope you have been well.Ā  Will Schultz @ Lindsey Auten Ā can certainly provideĀ  some insight here.

Looking at a beautiful cloud formation calms my soul. The week has been super busy, but this view is all it takes.

It takes my breath away.

What do you do to decompress from the week?

As a loyal member of the Toyota community, it is like an unspoken agreement that my children will own and drive a Toyota, my grandchildren potentially, and who knows my great, greats. But, when deciding what vehicle has my mind and heart, Toyota leads the pack, and here is why.
  • The vehicle safety features protect my family (This is major for me)
  • My most recent purchase was in March 2019; it has needed no significant repairs. (Protects my...

I'm making the shift from marketing and sales strategy and content back to my first love -- recruiting and organizational development.

My intention is to use TAYA strategies to help companies attract, engage, delight, and retain great team members.

I was inspired by a post I saw and decided to (finally) create content that shared my POV.

I'd love to get some engagement (and feedback) so I thought I'd share the link here. And then I thought we...

Either during a dinner conversation with your family or at some point while grabbing a drink with some friends, I'll bet that someone will tell you they're looking for a new job before the year ends.

They'll mention their frustrations. They'll mention their aspirations. They'll for sure mention their desired compensation.

But at some point in the conversation, they're going to stop talking.

How will you respond?

Will you be able to share the...

I discussed knowing when is the best time to transition to the next level of your journey in a conversation shared with friends. Absolutely a great perspective to share.
I write here a lot about the fundamentals- using LUTs, hijacking Canva- just general stuff that we often forget about as we start talking about the strategy behind TAYA videography and creating content that moves people to action. One issue that plagues me as a videographer is shot composition. I get in the ZONE when I’m filming and will leave shoots over the moon- and then sit down to edit later and find myself cropping and altering way too...
