client satisfaction for hands-on consultant work

Benchmark → Findings → Product audit → Offer

Traditional CS often asks: “Is this account healthy?”

This approach asks: “Is the client successful — and what would make them more successful?”

Success drivers are defined for each business, then linked to measurable account-growth actions.
