The business question
How could the team identify clients who needed support earlier, particularly in the first months of the relationship? I focused on making follow-up regular, relevant and easy to track.
My approach
I introduced a structured schedule for check-ins during the first six months, with guidance tailored to the client's needs.
I used CRM reminders to track follow-up actions and quarterly satisfaction surveys to collect feedback. I reviewed the survey responses and engagement trends in Excel to identify issues that needed attention.
Follow-up framework
- Plan the contactSet a clear check-in schedule and record the next action.
- Listen for support needsUse conversations and survey feedback to understand concerns.
- Follow throughTrack outstanding issues and make subsequent contact relevant.
What I learned
Regular contact is useful when it helps resolve a real concern. The process needs to balance consistent coverage with enough time to provide personal, meaningful support.
