James Sinclair Playbook tools
Two workbooks, seven tools

His rules, turned into tools

Seven tools. All work on a phone, all save as you tap, none needs an account. Built by Test Tube Marketing from the workbooks and ten years of James's videos, so the exercises get done rather than read.

Sections 1 to 3 · The three stages

Job or Business?

Fourteen of his own questions, one at a time. You get the stage you've actually built (job, business or investment), where you sit on his ladder, the three things keeping you there in his words, and the page of the playbook to open first.

Open the tool
About three minutes. Do this one first.
Section 4 · Page 8

People Analyser

Mark your team Y or N against the 10 criteria. Ten taps each. The payoff is the grid: the whole team on one page, with the gaps that run across everybody made visible.

Open the tool
About five minutes for a team of six.
Section 4 · Pages 9 to 12

Interview Scorecard

All 43 questions, one at a time, scored with your thumb while the candidate talks. Category totals and the E + M = S scorecard build themselves, and candidates line up side by side.

Open the tool
Use it live in the interview.
Section 16 · Page 35

The Manager Maths

What a manager really costs (his plus 30% rule), your labour to turnover against his sector benchmarks, and the hours a manager gives you back.

Open the tool
Bring last month's payroll and turnover.
Buying businesses

Would James Buy It?

His acquisition criteria as a screener. The verdict comes back in his words, with which of his deal structures fits.

Open the tool
Works on a business you're looking at, or your own.
The Newsletter That Makes You Money · Section 4

The Letter Builder

What happened this week, what it means, what the reader should do. Three headlines to choose from, a word meter set to James's range, and his six pre-send checks. Out comes a finished letter to copy.

Open the tool
About 45 minutes, which is what James gives it.
The Newsletter That Makes You Money · Section 7

The Newsletter Scorecard

This week's numbers in, the four questions answered: are we growing, do they stay, do they open, do they act. Week on week with the direction of travel, and James's bands on the open rate.

Open the tool
Two minutes a week, the morning after you send.
These are demonstrations, not finished products. Question wording and criteria come straight from the workbook and, where a tool says so, from dated videos on James's channel. The one-line definitions under the 10 People Analyser criteria were drafted by us, because the printed page carries the labels on their own. The scoring in Job or Business?, the benchmarks in The Manager Maths, the verdicts in Would James Buy It?, the word range in The Letter Builder and the open-rate bands in The Newsletter Scorecard are for James to approve.
