Why this ritual

Customer feedback arrives as a yearly survey score. By the time anyone reads it, the customers who were unhappy have already gone.

Rituals that bring what customers say and do into regular team conversations: a monthly customer voice review, a debrief on every lost deal, and customers at the start of every goal review, so goals get checked against the people they serve.

From our case log. A professional services partnership reinventing one of its practices set a short list of priorities, each with an owner, and saw its client relationships, its internal relationships and its revenue improve.

The rhythms in this ritual

01

The monthly customer voice review: what customers said this month, in scores such as NPS, reviews and complaints, read together by the people who can act on it.

02

Lost-deal debriefs: every lost deal or lost customer gets an honest look at what we missed, and what we would do differently.

03

Customers first in the goal review: every goal review opens with what customers said, so the numbers are never discussed without the people behind them.
