Common Questions
Still wondering if this is right for you?
Not sure if this is right for you?
You're not alone. Here are some of the most common concerns we hear from smart, experienced business owners. There are a lot of misconceptions out there, and these answers are here to help you make the best, most informed decision for you and your business.
-
"I already know my clients"You likely know a lot about your business, but many find there’s so much more to uncover. We don’t focus on surface-level feedback or demographics. Instead, we dive deeper into unspoken frustrations, emotional triggers, and hidden value gaps—insights your clients might not share unless asked in the right way. It’s not about collecting more data. It’s about gaining deeper insights.
-
"I'm afraid to uncover something I don't want to hear"It's natural to worry about what others think, but silence can be more harmful than the truth. We approach interviews with an open mindset, seeking clarity, because clarity breeds confidence. What you avoid could end up costing you more than you realize.
-
“We’re already collecting feedback from clients.”That’s a great start. But most feedback is reactive—it tells you how they feel, not why. Client interviews uncover the deeper story: what they love, what they tolerate, and what they wish was better but won’t say to directly to you. Surveys give you dots. Interviews connect them.
-
“Can’t I just send a survey?”You definitely can, Surveys are useful, but limited. Surveys scratch the surface. Interviews go deeper and reveal what you didn’t think to ask. Most of the game-changing insights happen when people say things they didn’t plan to say. That doesn’t happen on a form—it happens in a real conversation. Insight happens in conversation—not checkboxes.
-
“We’re focused on growth right now, not retention.”Retention is growth. It’s easier (and cheaper) to keep great clients than to constantly chase new ones. If your bucket it full of holes adding more water (new clients) won’t fix the leaks. The businesses that grow the fastest aren’t chasing more—they’re doubling down on what’s already working. Retention isn’t maintenance. It’s momentum.
-
“I’m not sure this will lead to ROI.”That’s fair, but here’s the math: increasing client retention by just 5% can boost profits by up to 95% (Bain & Company) Our process is designed to identify high-leverage opportunities that directly impact your bottom line. You’re probably sitting on growth—you just can’t see it yet.
-
“Our churn rate is fine.”Fine isn't future-proof. A healthy churn rate doesn’t mean you’re maximizing your potential. Often, businesses plateau not because of churn—but because they aren’t growing wallet share or getting referrals. Retention isn’t just about keeping clients—it's about deepening value.
-
“I already have a team handling customer experience.”Perfect—we’ll make their work even more powerful. We partner with internal teams to uncover blind spots, surface new patterns, and provide outside perspective. Think of us as an insight engine that fuels smarter decisions. We don’t replace your team—we equip them.
-
“We’ve already hired a marketing agency.”That’s great—and this will actually make their job easier. Marketing agencies typically do tactics. We help you hand them a strategy based on real client truths, not assumptions. It’s not either/or—it’s a smarter, more aligned partnership. Your agency executes. We give them what to execute with confidence.
-
“We just need more leads—not insight.”I hear you—more leads feels like the obvious solution when growth slows down. But, lead gen without insight is like pouring water into a leaky bucket. If you don’t deeply understand what your best clients really care about—what made them choose you, why they stay, or why they refer—it’s nearly impossible to attract more people like them. You end up wasting time and money on leads that don’t convert or don’t stick. The most successful businesses don’t chase more—they optimize what’s already working. Insight shows you exactly how to do that, so every lead you bring in is more qualified, easier to convert, and more likely to stay.” Client insight amplifies your lead gen strategy.
-
"Is this really necessary? I’m already running ads."Ads are great—but only if they’re built on the right message. Most ads fail because they’re built on assumptions. When you understand exactly what your best clients want, need, and value, every marketing dollar becomes more effective. Insight makes your ads smarter. It’s not either/or—it’s the foundation that makes all your marketing work better.
-
“We’re not ready for this yet.”If things feel messy, unclear, or chaotic—this is exactly when to do this work. That’s the perfect time to step back. Because running faster in the wrong direction won’t help. We help you stop the chaos by identifying what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next. Our process brings clarity, so you know where to focus next. It stops the guesswork and helps you make strategic decisions with confidence. Don’t wait for things to break. Optimize while you’re still in motion.
-
“This feels a bit ‘fluffy’—we’re more numbers/data driven.”Client interviews are strategic data collection. You’ll get structured insights—patterns, language, behaviours—that inform everything from messaging to operations. We turn qualitative data into actionable strategy. Insight is still data. It’s just data with soul.
-
“How do I know clients will even talk to you?”You’d be surprised how many clients are eager to share when it’s positioned as: “Help us serve you better.” And because we’re a third party, they’re often more candid. People love being asked for their opinion—when it’s done right.
-
“My clients love me. They’ll never leave.”That’s great—and exactly when to do this work. Because loyalty isn’t just a feeling, it’s an experience. And even the most loyal clients have silent deal-breakers. Even loyal clients have silent deal-breakers. One small friction point—one gap in communication—is all it takes for them to quietly slip away. Loyal clients can still leave. Not because they don’t love you—but because they feel forgotten.
-
“We’re already successful.”Exactly— You’re successful because you care and insights helps you stay that way. This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about protecting what works, identifying new opportunities, and setting you up to grow with intention. Success is the best time to double down on what’s working.
-
“This sounds like a lot of work.”It’s surprisingly lightweight on your end and that’s exactly why you need it. Insight helps you stop doing things that aren’t working and focus on what matters. It’s a short-term investment that saves months (or years) of wasted effort. We handle the interviews, the analysis, and the strategy. You just need to show up ready to hear the truth—and take action on what matters.
Fatima helped me see the path forward, making it feel doable.
Fatima is caring, flexible, intuitive, and responsive! From our first coaching session together, Fatima helped me clarify my thoughts on what I wanted to achieve for my business and identify what I needed to do to move forward. She helped me see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ by breaking down the steps I needed to take into bite-sized actions.
I would highly recommend Fatima to anyone who is starting a new business and even those with existing businesses who desire growth. Her follow-through is remarkable, as is her positive attitude. I would definitely work with her again!”
