Capturing Value Received in the Member’s Own Words Can
Be Challenging
Best Practices for Capturing Value Received
 Value should be assessed and discussed at the
membership, initiative and activity level
 Ask open-ended questions regarding the
services being provided
 How did you use the information the analyst
presented during our last call? What value
did you get from that discussion?
 On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate
your experience at the local round table?
What was your take-away from the session?
 How have the activities we delivered helped
you achieve your stated business goals?
 How is your membership going? Are you getting the value that
you expected? Anything we should be doing differently?

Capturing Value Received in the Member’s Own Words Can
Be Challenging
Best Practices for Capturing Value Received
 Quick Value Reviews (QVR) are another
tool used for assessing the value of
certain deliverables. QVR scores should
be discussed with Members to qualify the
ratings and to take actions on ratings that
are less than satisfactory

Plan Beyond the Member’s Renewal Date
 Value Plans are “living” documents that reflect
what we will do and what we have done
 Renewals dates represent permeable gates for Service Delivery
 Renewals are based on what we have done and what we will do — planning
beyond the renewal dates creates separation anxiety

If the Member Has Not Confirmed Value Within the First
90 Days, the Membership Is Probably at Risk
Success in the Value Planning Stage
You know you are successful in this stage when the conversation with the
Member changes to, “Here are my most important issues and Key Initiatives,
and I need your help …”

To be effective in the first 90 days requires the Service
Delivery associate to continually evaluate how the
relationship is progressing;
Don’t wait until “Day 90” to realize and communicate
that the membership is at risk
