The Pilot’s Manual

Decide the week. Send it. Read it back.

One page for whoever runs the desk. Four minutes on a Monday is the whole job.

Written to be printed and left beside the screen. Your reps have their own page — they do not need this one.

What you are actually doing

Turning a region into one week’s work

Every week, several hundred facilities in your markets are either advertising nursing roles, filing nurse-hours below what their own residents need, or already paying an agency for part of their nursing. Your team cannot call all of them. This tool exists to turn that list into one week’s work for the people you actually have — and to tell you afterward whether it got worked.

Monday morning · move one

Say how big the week is

Top right of the Manager Console, in This week’s plan.

  • It starts from the answer you gave at signup — full desk, dedicated sales, owner part-time — and turns it into a number of accounts.
  • Change the number if the week is unusual. Somebody on vacation, a new rep who should not get a full load, a short week. Everything below recalculates.

Monday morning · move two

Decide the shape of the week

Three groups: Call today, Call this week, Worth a call.

  • The default split is 60 / 25 / 15. Type over the percentages if you want a different week.
  • use all on one group spends the whole week there. A week that is all Call today is a legitimate week.

Monday morning · move three

Fill the plan

One button. It ticks accounts down the groups in the shape you chose.

  • Everything stays visible. Untick anything. Tick anything else, including accounts the shape did not reach.
  • Nothing is hidden from you to make the number come out right.

Monday morning · move four

Save and send to the team

This is the step that makes it real.

  • Save files the plan against your account, and your reps’ consoles pick it up the next time they load — no link to paste, nothing for them to click.
  • Write the email gives you the same plan as something you can send. Copy it to send gives you a version that works by link, if you would rather not rely on the server.
  • More than one region? You file one plan per region. Each board keeps its own, and the capacity line tells you what you have already committed elsewhere this week, so you are not spending the same team twice.
The other side of it

What your team sees

The Flight Plan sits at the top of their console, under the same three headings, in the same order you filed it.

One rule the tool follows, and your team should too

The staffing shortfall and the agency spend are the reasons you dial. They are not things to say on the call. A building’s own federal filing, read back to its administrator, lands as an accusation whether or not it is accurate.

What is safe to open with is what they published — the roles they are advertising — and what is yours: the people you have available.

Later in the week

What comes back to you

On your console, under the saved plan.

This is not a CRM and is not trying to be one. It tells you the directive was worked. What happened inside the conversation belongs in whatever system you already use.

Monday is a clean board

What resets, and when

What tends to work

Three SOPs worth writing yourself

The tool does not enforce any of these, and should not. They are the ones that tend to make it stick.

One more thing the tool is for

The week above is the calling list, and calling capacity has a ceiling. Email does not. Everything that did not make the week is still on the board, and the whole board downloads to a spreadsheet with a Segment column — which is a targeted email campaign, a sequence, or a nurture list, built off the same demand signals.

An account that did not make this week’s calls has not been discarded. It has been routed.

Something looks wrong on a row?

Say so. Every number on the screen traces back to a published filing, and if one does not hold up we would rather fix it than have you stop trusting the list.
