Testimonials

“Seldom do you utilize an outside consultant and get more than you thought you would. Lynn’s thoroughness with training and utilizing the survey results were so well received by our staff that we extended the project. Lynn now is helping us bring back Clients we had lost in the past. In the first five months of the program our retention has improved by two points, which would translate into $600,000 of additional revenue each year.”

“Your study was the first time we took a systematic look at why members of different client segments remain with or leave us. You opened our eyes to some issues we hadn’t realized existed. You clarified our perceptions of some critical issues where we had misunderstood the points of view of key client and prospect segments and you provided us – this was a real strength of your study, I believe – with specific action steps, “how to’s” if you will, for implementation.”

“I have had the distinct advantage of attending this seminar. I feel that this kind of seminar is very important and productive for anyone that deals with the public. It is a proven fact that it is cheaper to retain an existing customer than it is to replace one. With a shrinking market and growing competition in many areas of business today, this is especially true.”

“To be frank, it was painful to see how our growth in some cases had a negative impact on the quality of our relationships with some Clients. Now we are able to recognize and focus on the areas that our Clients find the most valuable, and our service people now understand and are more focused on each Client’s specific needs. Also, our Producers are able to more accurately target specific referral and cross-selling opportunities and are more confident and motivated to do so. Thanks!”

“Thomas Consulting’s work with our clients has been a game-changer. It enabled us to strategize early in the renewal process. We can customize our Client’s communication and service plans based on their desires. Clients have fewer questions or concerns around renewal time, saving us time and money. It isn’t guesswork anymore.”
