Uncover Hidden Concerns

Before Check-In Call

You ask customer mind:

$ > "How satisfied are you with our service currently?
> What concerns do you have?"

Customer mind reveals:

SATISFACTION LEVEL: LOW (at risk)
Hidden concerns I have (that I haven't voiced):
1. Response Time Issues
   What's happening: Support tickets taking 48+ hours
   Why I haven't said anything: Don't want to be demanding
   Impact: Losing trust in our reliability
   Risk level: HIGH - actively looking at alternatives
2. Feature Gap
   What's happening: Missing reporting features I need
   Why I haven't said anything: Assumed it was coming
   Impact: Using manual workarounds = wasting time
   Risk level: MEDIUM - frustration building
3. Price-Value Misalignment
   What's happening: Not getting value for what we pay
   Why I haven't said anything: Evaluating alternatives first
   Impact: CFO asking questions about ROI
   Risk level: HIGH - renewal at risk
What would make me leave:
- Another slow support response
- Competitor with the reporting I need
- Better pricing elsewhere
What would make me stay:
- Proactive conversation about support quality
- Roadmap showing reporting features coming
- Acknowledgment and action plan

In Actual Check-In

What happens:

You: “I wanted to check in. How’s support response time been for you?”
Customer: “Actually, that’s been a concern…”
You: [addresses the issue proactively with action plan]

Result: Prevented churn by addressing concerns before customer started evaluating competitors.

Common Scenarios

Price Increase Communication

Predict:

How they’ll respond to the increase
Budget constraints and approval process
What justification they need internally
Risk of triggering churn evaluation

Test communication approaches before sending. Know which messaging prevents defensive reactions.

Outcome: Retain customers through price changes by communicating effectively

Renewal Risk Assessment

Predict:

Current satisfaction level
Likelihood to renew vs. evaluate alternatives
Hidden concerns not being voiced
What would secure the renewal

Act 90 days before renewal to address concerns proactively.

Outcome: Higher renewal rates by preventing churn before it starts

Support Quality Check

Predict:

How they perceive support quality
Unresolved frustrations
Response time concerns
Communication effectiveness

Identify support issues before they damage the relationship.

Outcome: Improve support quality proactively based on customer perspective

Product Change Impact

Predict:

How they’ll respond to product changes
Features they rely on
Workflow disruption concerns
Training and change management needs

Test changes before launching. Know which customers need extra support.

Outcome: Smooth product transitions without damaging satisfaction

Quick Start

1. Create Customer Mind

Upload past interactions from at-risk or high-value customers:

Support conversations
Email exchanges
Call transcripts
Meeting notes

Training: 5-15 minutes per customer

2. Assess Risk Regularly

Monthly or quarterly, ask customer minds:

What concerns do you have?
How satisfied are you?
What would trigger you to leave?

Identify at-risk customers early.

3. Test Before Communicating

Before major announcements, test on customer minds:

Price changes
Policy updates
Product changes

Result: Communications that strengthen (not damage) relationships

You:

$ > Create a customer mind for Sarah Williams, VP Product at FinanceApp,
> using /Documents/customer-calls/financeapp-vp-product.vtt

Mind Reasoner:

✓ Training customer mind... (~10 min)

You:

$ > We're implementing a 20% price increase in Q2.
> How will Sarah respond? What concerns will she raise?

Mind Reasoner:

Based on Sarah's communication patterns:
RISK LEVEL: HIGH (could trigger churn evaluation)
Her likely response:
1. Budget Shock: "This wasn't budgeted"
   Context: She's already fighting for budget internally
   Risk: CFO will question the spend
   What she needs: Advance notice + value justification
2. Competitive Evaluation: "We'll need to evaluate alternatives"
   Context: Not a bluff - she's under pressure
   Risk: Once she starts looking, hard to recover
   What she needs: Understanding and flexibility
3. Value Justification: "What's changed to warrant this?"
   Context: Needs ammunition for internal approval
   Risk: Can't defend spend without clear ROI
   What she needs: Specific value delivered since last year
Predicted outcome if announced without preparation:
- Will start competitor evaluation
- Renewal at serious risk
Recommendation:
- Proactive 1:1 call before announcement
- 90-day advance notice minimum
- Clear ROI deck for her CFO
- Offer flexible timing options

You:

$ > If I schedule a call and present it this way: [approach],
> will that prevent the defensive reaction?

Mind Reasoner:

YES. This approach will work better.
Why:
- Proactive call shows respect
- Advance notice = time to navigate internally
- ROI deck = tools she needs
- Flexibility = partnership, not edict
Her likely response:
"I appreciate the heads up. Let me take this ROI
analysis to our CFO. Can we discuss timing options?"
You've converted a churn risk into a partnership conversation.
