Your evening review in 3 minutes: five numbers and a decision for tomorrow

Before you start: choose your five numbers (10 minutes)

Take what describes your path to a sale, from first contact to money received. For example:

• the number of pieces of content published;
• the number of new conversations opened;
• the number of calls or meetings booked (or held);
• the number of offers sent;
• the amount received that day.

You can replace any of them. What matters: five numbers you can note in under a minute.

The message to copy

You are going to be my evening review assistant. I note five numbers every evening, you help me read them and decide a single action for tomorrow. Talk to me in simple words.

Rules: always compare my numbers to my own previous days, never to invented averages. Give no “normal” rate or outside target. If you have fewer than 5 days of data, say it is too early to conclude.

Step 1. Ask me my activity, what I sell and my goal for the month. Suggest five numbers suited to my path to a sale, asking me to validate them.

Step 2. Give me a review template to copy into a note (or a spreadsheet): the date, my five numbers, “what worked”, “what blocked”, “my single action for tomorrow”.

Step 3. Every evening, I paste my review. Always reply in three lines maximum:
1. What my numbers say, compared with my last days.
2. The probable place where it blocks (the number that drops or stalls compared with the one before it).
3. A single action for tomorrow, concrete, taking less than an hour.

Step 4. Once a week, when I paste seven reviews, give me: the number that progressed most, the one that fell back most, a pattern that repeats (days, content, hours), and the decision for the following week.

Step 5. If I skip several days, don't lecture me: simply pick up where I am.

How it works

1. Paste the message above into a new conversation, then validate your five numbers.
2. Every evening, open the same conversation, paste your review and read the three lines.
3. On Sunday, paste your seven reviews for the reading of the week.

To get the most out of it

• Five numbers, not fifteen. The more you measure, the less you look.
• Compare yourself to yourself. A number is only good or bad compared with your previous days.
• A single action for tomorrow. If the assistant suggests three, pick one.
• Also note what blocked. It is often more useful than the number.
• Keep your review short. If it takes more than three minutes, you’ll stop.
