How It Works

Two processes run side by side: the project close-out, once per project, and the NPS campaign, once per period. This page shows who does what, when, and where every answer ends up.

Where work is waiting right now

The map

Where the two meet

  • A client is not asked both surveys within 30 days — the project survey takes priority and the campaign audience skips them.
  • Both processes are keyed on the same client companies, so a project score and the quarterly relationship score can be read side by side.
  • Value drivers are named identically in both, so a driver can be traced from one project up to the yearly picture.
  • Comments and future needs from either process land in the same Customer Feedback and Opportunities lists.

Flow A step by step — project close-out

1. The project arrives
Starts when
A project is registered in the CRM and given a Project ID.
Done by
Project manager (with the CRM import or live connection) · Seconds — type the Project ID
Produces
  • The project, its client company and the people listed on it
  • A close-out that is now waiting to be filled in

If it is skipped: Nothing downstream can be linked to the client or reported by company.

Look up a Project IDStep 1
2. The project manager completes the close-out
Starts when
The project reaches practical completion.
Done by
Project manager · 10–15 minutes
Produces
  • Services delivered, scores, on time / on budget, value drivers
  • Successes, challenges and improvements

If it is skipped: No lessons learned, no internal score for the delivery, and the client survey cannot be sent.

Close-outs waitingStep 2
3. Completing it fans out automatically
Starts when
The close-out is marked complete.
Done by
Automatic · Instant
Produces
  • Lessons Learned entries from the three written answers
  • A summary note queued for the CRM project
  • A client survey link, ready to send

If it is skipped: Saved as a draft only — nothing is passed on until it is marked complete.

Lessons LearnedStep 3
4. The client answers the project survey
Starts when
The link is emailed to the client contact. No login, works on a phone.
Done by
Client contact (chased by the project manager) · 2–3 minutes for the client
Produces
  • Scores and comments, translated to English
  • Consent and a testimonial for References
  • A delivery statement for Tender Evidence
  • Stated future needs as Opportunities

If it is skipped: The delivery is scored internally only — no client voice, no references, no leads.

Customer FeedbackStep 4
5. Drafts are approved and used
Starts when
Anything the client said arrives as a draft.
Done by
Marketing and the bid team · A few minutes per item
Produces
  • Published reference statements and stories
  • Approved tender evidence for proposals
  • Lessons taken into the next project's kick-off

If it is skipped: The material sits unused and cannot be quoted in a tender.

Flow B step by step — NPS campaign

1. Open the period
Starts when
The start of a quarter, or the yearly roll-up.
Done by
Sales / marketing · 2 minutes
Produces
  • A campaign for that year and period, in draft

If it is skipped: No comparable measurement exists for the period.

Survey CampaignsStep 1
2. Confirm the questions
Starts when
The campaign is created.
Done by
Sales / marketing · 5 minutes
Produces
  • The 12 standard questions, kept word-for-word so years stay comparable
  • Optional strategic questions about future value

If it is skipped: Results cannot be compared with 2025 or with earlier quarters.

Step 2
3. Build the audience
Starts when
The questions are settled.
Done by
Sales, from CRM contacts · 10–20 minutes
Produces
  • A recipient list with language per person, trimmed and de-duplicated

If it is skipped: Either too few answers, or the wrong people are asked.

Step 3
4. Sales review and approval
Starts when
The list is ready.
Done by
Sales lead — named on the campaign · One pass
Produces
  • Approval, and the reason anyone was removed

If it is skipped: Clients in a sensitive situation may be contacted at the wrong moment.

Step 4
5. Launch and remind
Starts when
Approved, and the send date arrives.
Done by
Automatic once launched · Instant
Produces
  • A personal link per recipient
  • One reminder after the set number of days

If it is skipped: Response rate drops sharply — the reminder normally brings in a third of answers.

Step 5
6. Read the results
Starts when
Answers come in.
Done by
Sales, management · Continuous
Produces
  • NPS, agreement score and per-question results against the KPI targets
  • Comments in Customer Feedback
  • Future needs and purchase likelihood as Opportunities

If it is skipped: The measurement is collected but never acted on.

NPS DashboardStep 6
7. Close the period
Starts when
The response window ends.
Done by
Sales / marketing · 5 minutes
Produces
  • A locked baseline the next period is compared against

If it is skipped: Late answers keep moving a number that has already been reported.
