2. Discovery Conversation

We'll schedule a call to understand your situation, challenges, and goals. This is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We ask questions to understand if we're the right fit and what approach makes sense for your needs.

3. Clear Next Steps

If we're a good fit, we'll outline potential next steps - whether a mini-assessment, Kaizen audit, or scoped project. If not, we'll tell you honestly. We don't have salespeople, just customer success consultants focused on the right solution.
