# How to run better Quarterly Sessions with Success.co A practical guide for EOS® Implementers to the full arc of a Quarterly or Annual, from prepping with live client data to leaving with Rocks ready for Monday's L10. URL: https://www.success.co/blog/how-to-run-better-quarterly-sessions-with-success-co Published: 2026-11-05 ## The day after a Quarterly You know the feeling. You've just run a strong full-day session. The leadership team left with new Rocks, a cleaner Issues List and real energy. Then someone has to turn a wall of flip charts and a page of notes into something the team can actually use on Monday. Too often that someone is you, and too often the energy fades before the first L10™ of the quarter. It doesn't have to work that way. You can run the full arc of a Quarterly Pulsing® session or an Annual inside Success.co: prep with live client data, run the day on EOS® agendas that are already built in, and leave with Rocks, Issues and To-dos already in the system for Monday's Level 10 Meeting™. Here's what we recommend, step by step. ## Before the session Good sessions are won in the prep. The aim is to walk in already knowing the story of the quarter. - **Prep from the Implementer Hub.** Check each client's Rock completion, meeting ratings and adoption before you walk in, so you know which teams are slipping and what to praise. A practice manager can do this prep on their own login, with the same access as you. - **Review the quarter's numbers.** Scorecard trends and Insights show how the last quarter went, so you don't have to rebuild it by hand. - **Run an Organizational Checkup™ ahead of the Annual.** Results are charted over time, so the team sees its score move from year to year. - **Use the ready-made agendas.** Every account comes with Quarterly Pulsing, Annual Planning Day 1 and Annual Planning Day 2 agendas, plus Focus Day™ and Vision Building™. You can change timings, reorder sections or add your own, and reset to the EOS standard at any time. - **Print a Meeting Pack** for clients who like paper in the room. ## During the session On the day, the software should keep up with the room, not slow it down. - **Use timed agendas.** Time is tracked against each section, which keeps a full-day Quarterly on pace. - **Open the V/TO™ and Accountability Chart™** without leaving the meeting. Both are one click away and built into the agenda, so you can review the Vision and Traction sides live. - **Set Rocks live, with milestones and owners**, and assign them to more than one team when needed. Ask AI can help sharpen a Rock that's written badly. - **Run IDS™ on the long-term Issues List**, then move what's left to the right team's short-term list. - **Use the People Analyzer™** for right person, right seat conversations at the Annual. - **Capture To-dos and Issues in real time with the AI scribe** (beta) as people talk, instead of rebuilding them from a transcript afterwards. ![Success.co Ask AI suggesting Rocks with measurable goals during a Quarterly Pulsing meeting, each with an Add button](https://res.cloudinary.com/successco/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/contento/a_01kRb338h2Eg10fQBBGHDVT78Z/rock_platform) ## After the session This is where most of the time used to go. Now it's where you get your evening back. - **Nothing to type up.** Rocks, Issues and To-dos are already in place, so the first L10 of the quarter starts from exactly what was agreed. - **Upload pictures.** Snap the whiteboards and flip charts, and the AI in Success.co sorts what's on them into the right EOS sections. - **To-dos sync to the client's other tools**, such as Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, Teamwork.com, Microsoft To Do or Google Tasks. - **Calendar sync** puts the next Quarterly and Annual on everyone's calendar. ## Lead from a positive place with Success.co The quarter between sessions is where clients either keep their momentum or quietly lose it. The Implementer Hub shows you, mid-quarter, which clients are keeping their Rocks on track and which are starting to slip. So you can cheer on the teams that are making progress and step in early with the ones that need a hand, instead of finding out at the next Quarterly. Every check-in like that is another reminder that you're not just there for the sessions: you're the partner helping their business grow. **Try it at your next Quarterly** Your Implementer account is free. Set it up, add a client, and run your next session in Success.co.
