THE IGNITE XDS DISCOVERY PROCESS

From 35 years of working with hundreds of 8-figure companies across all industries, this process has become the most critical factor in determining success for our partners.

The Catalyst for Transformative Change

We believe that without a complete understanding of your organization, market, and customers, growth and marketing tactics oftentimes miss the mark, becoming irrelevant and wasteful.

This process will determine if your business and leadership team are capable of growth, how the company will deliver on its promise, and strategically uncover critical issues and opportunities across organizational silos to maximize value.

"Our first meeting was 100 steps beyond anything we've done before...I appreciate the deep dive"
- Karen Nave, GM of Back to the Past Collectibles

Customer Exploration

Gaining a thorough understanding of why your customers buy from you, defining key customer personas, and their potential customer journey in the current state are components of customer exploration. Are you aware of every touchpoint in those journeys? What adds value, vs. what could be damaging your brand and turning a customer towards a competitor?

Discussing the importance of customer segmentation and personas, simple changes can turn buyers into valuable brand ambassadors.

Meeting 5

Operations and Culture Deep Dive

The ability to grow is intricately linked to maintaining a positive team culture and operational capability. Understanding whether your operations can uphold the customer experience is essential, as changes in it can affect both your brand and growth potential.

New clients often express concerns about customer churn, where existing customers leave at a rate similar to new customer acquisition. It's crucial to assess if you can sustain the customer experience that initially attracted and fueled your growth. Any negative changes in this experience can damage your brand, leading customers to exit.

Recap, Establishing a LaunchPad for Growth

We'll introduce our facilitation methodology: Position Identification, Message Development, and Process Implementation, which crafts how are we going to IMPLEMENT the changes identified that are necessary for growth.
