Part 1: The View From Inside
Which Part Is Costing You Work?
You do not have to read this book front to back. You have to read it in the order of what is costing you work.
Five yes-or-no questions about last month. Each no points at a chapter.
The router.
Answer each question yes or no, honestly, about the last month, not about how things are supposed to work. Then hand your phone to whoever answers your phone and have them answer too.

Saves on this device as you go. Nothing is sent to us.
Answer each question yes or no, honestly, about the last month, not about how things are supposed to work.
The Chapter column is where to start if the answer is no.
If you answered no to more than one, go to Chapter 3 first.
Where this goes next.
The router tells you where you think the trouble is. Chapter 3 shows you how to check it from the outside, in about fifteen minutes, the way your customers see it.
Tools and next.
The two tools the book points to, then the chapters on either side of this one.
