⏱️ 15 min read📅 Last updated: January 2025👥 For all consultants

Getting Started with Enzo

Enzo is your AI discovery partner, designed to conduct comprehensive client assessments in 15 minutes instead of 2+ hours. But like any powerful tool, you'll get better results when you understand how to work with it effectively.

🎯 The Goal

Use Enzo to gather comprehensive client insights while you focus on strategy and relationship building. Think of Enzo as your discovery specialist, not a replacement for your expertise.

Pre-Session Preparation

✅ Do This

  • • Brief the client on what to expect
  • • Share the session link 24 hours in advance
  • • Set clear expectations about duration (15-20 min)
  • • Mention this is an AI assistant, not a replacement for you
  • • Encourage honest, detailed responses

❌ Avoid This

  • • Springing the session on clients without notice
  • • Not explaining what Enzo is
  • • Expecting clients to complete it in 5 minutes
  • • Using technical jargon in your introduction
  • • Rushing clients through the process

📝 Sample Client Brief

"Hi [Client Name], I'm excited to work with you on [project]. To ensure I provide the most valuable insights, I'm using an AI discovery tool called Enzo that will ask you some detailed questions about your business. This typically takes 15-20 minutes and helps me understand your situation much better than a traditional questionnaire. Please be as detailed as possible in your responses. I'll review everything and follow up with you afterward."
