Questions Owners Ask
Q:
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. You talk about how your business runs. Jake does the rest.
Q:
What if the answer isn't AI?
Often it isn't. A lot of what I find can be fixed with software you already own. When I see that, I'll tell you.
Q:
Who is Sam?
Sam is DMYS' AI interviewer. You call Sam from your phone and have a conversation for 20 to 30 minutes about how your business runs. Day or night, a quiet half-hour, no set appointment, when it's convenient for you.
Q:
Do I need new software, like an ERP?
Probably not yet. Most businesses with 5 to 50 people can get what they need from the software they already own. Read this before you hire an ERP consultant.
Q:
What does TIMELY DECISION DATA™ mean?
The numbers you need, in time to act on them.
Q:
How long does it take?
The call is 20 to 30 minutes. Your written plan arrives within two business days. The working session with Jake is 60 minutes.
Q:
What does it cost?
$997, one time. No subscription.
Q:
Can I do the fixes myself?
Yes. The Implementation Guide has numbered steps for each fix. If you'd rather have it done for you, ask me in the working session.
Q:
Can I see an example first?
Absolutely! Here's a sample Assessment Report and a sample Implementation Guide.
