Methodology reference
5-Stage Customer Journeymap the full relationship
AWARE
First impression. How did they find you? Fix friction here before anything else.
CONSIDER
Evaluating you vs others. What proof do they need? Give it proactively.
DECIDE
Proposal moment. Reduce risk. Clear scope, 50 percent upfront, fast contract.
LOYAL
Post-delivery. Are they staying? Retainer lives here. Nurture this stage hardest.
ADVOCATE
They become your sales team. Only happens with proactive offboarding and referral ask.
NPS Scoring Systemmeasure every engagement
9-10
PROMOTERS: Ask for referral within 24 hours. Strike while satisfaction is at its peak.
7-8
PASSIVES: Nurture, find friction, improve. They can become promoters with one good move.
0-6
DETRACTORS: Call within 24 hours. Listen. Act. Never lose one silently.
NPS Formula: % Promoters minus % Detractors. Target: 50 plus. Consulting average: 30.
Pro tips
Early Delivery Resets Everything
Send deliverables one day early when possible. One early delivery resets a client relationship and costs you nothing. Make it a habit, not an exception.
Loom Over Email
A 3-minute Loom update does more for the relationship than 10 emails. Personal, visual, and it shows you are engaged. Use it for every milestone.
Common mistakes
Silence After Delivery
Going quiet after delivery is the number one churn driver. The offboarding sequence is where the next deal lives. Never skip the 30-day check-in.
Assuming Satisfaction Equals Loyalty
A client who does not complain is not necessarily happy. They are just quiet. Measure NPS every engagement. Proactively.
