First, we'll use our Productivity Scorecard™ to create a benchmark for where you are now and to identify what you want to accomplish with our work together.
Next, in order to ensure that our services meet your specific needs, we'll apply our Five-Step Productive Environment Process™:
We'll schedule a free telephone consultation to discuss the following three points:
Implement Your Productive Environment GamePlan™
Sign up for the Primo Solutions Newsletter

In our work together, we'll apply Productive Environment Principles™ developed over the past 30 years, including:
Our services include hands-on organizing, on-site and telephone consultation and coaching, as well as group seminars and training programs focused on time, space, and information management.

The purpose of the Productive Environment Audit™ is to specifically identify the outcome you desire from our work together, and to develop a Productive Environment GamePlan™ for reaching that outcome.
The first step is to have a discussion about Steps 1-3 in the Productive Environment Process™:
We will use the Productivity Scorecard™ as a benchmark so we can measure your progress.
We will use the information gathered from our discussion to prepare a written Productive Environment GamePlan™ which will address Steps 4-5 in the Productive Environment Process™:
The Productive Environment GamePlan™ will outline step-by-step actions recommended to reach your established goals and vision. We will recommend the services that we can work on together if you desire, or refer you to specific resources for a do-it-yourself project.

The purpose of The 8-Hour Miracle™ is to assist you in creating a “Productive Environment” in your office – an “intentional setting” in which everything around you supports who you are, and who you want to be. We will establish a SYSTEM™ (Saving You Space Time Energy & Money!) which you will be able to maintain long after our work together is over. As a result, you can accomplish your work and enjoy your life!
We will use the Productivity Scorecard™ as a benchmark in order to measure the success of our work together. Prior to our session, we will arrange for the set up of your iPEP (interactive Productive Environment Platform).
We will send you a list of the office supplies you will need. You may purchase them, or we will bring them and bill you for them at our cost.
You are welcome to have an administrative assistant, family member, or friend participate in this process.
We begin The 8-Hour Miracle™ by filing the most important papers in your office – the ones you keep on your desk so you won’t forget them! This will be a “hands-on” process to create personalized systems for management of your time, space and information based on Productive Environment Principles™ including:
Together we will decide which papers you can comfortably toss, and then you will tell us about the papers you want to keep while we enter keywords into your iPEP so you, or anyone else, can find anything we file--online and off--with one keyword search! After we have filed the papers on the desk, we will move to the floor. (Isn’t that where you put the things on your desk you didn’t get to — but are afraid to put away?) Once the desk and floor are clean, we tackle the file drawers, completing as much as possible during our scheduled time together. Note: We can break this process into shorter segments based on your schedule.
At the end of The 8-Hour Miracle! ™, we guarantee three things:
As a result, your office will be a role model for a “Productive Environment,” and you will be in a position to demonstrate the true leadership in your organization. In addition, this SYSTEM will enable you to spend more time nurturing relationships with existing customers, prospects, friends and family.

3. You will have a Productive Environment Gameplan™ for any papers or files we didn't get converted into the new SYSTEM during our work together.
As a result, your office will be a role model for a "Productive Environment," and you will be in a position to demonstrate the true leadership in your organization. In addition, this SYSTEM will enable you to spend more time nurturing relationships with existing customers, prospects, friends and family.

The purpose of a Productive Environment Day™ is to give your employees the time, the permission, and the resources to effectively eliminate anything from their office which can be tossed/recycled/shredded – or should be relocated to another person, office, or location – and to eliminate the necessity of keeping and/or moving anything that is not necessary to the organization.
We will provide a checklist of the 18 essential ingredients for a successful event. We will work with your staff to customize promotional materials to educate employees about the upcoming opportunity, and to assist them during the event.
Prior to the event, we will provide a seminar entitled “The Art of Wastebasketry®: Sometimes It Takes An Expert to Take Out the Trash.” This seminar will incorporate company guidelines for participants about how to decide what they should eliminate from their office. (Note: Our philosophy is “If in doubt, keep it!” – so you don’t need to worry about people throwing away what should be kept!)
On the day of the event, we will circulate among staff to address specific issues and to implement the Productive Environment Day™ plan outlined in the 18-step checklist.
The pay-off for this event will include:
