1. Initial Response

You'll hear from a real person within one business day. We operate across multiple time zones, so your inquiry is routed to the appropriate regional team for the fastest response.

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.
