How sticky are your strategic client relationships?
Your existing clients may be your biggest untapped growth opportunity.
Sticky Strategy™ helps organizations measure relationship strength, identify revenue risk, uncover hidden growth opportunities, and build the capabilities to make those relationships stronger.
Measured across seven dimensions
- Relationship health
- Client stickiness
- Executive connectivity
- Perception gap
- Growth readiness
- Portfolio risk
- Growth opportunity
Hiding in Plain Sight.
You don't always need more customers. Sometimes you need to get more value from the customers you've already earned.
Organizations invest enormous resources acquiring new clients while their largest, most winnable growth sits inside relationships they already own — unmeasured, and therefore unmanaged.
Because the next growth opportunity may not be another customer. It may be hiding inside the relationships you already have.
We Measure Both Sides of the Relationship.
Your team tells us how they think the relationship is performing.
Your clients tell us how they actually experience it.
The gapThe gap reveals what you can't see from the inside.
How sticky are your relationships?
The Sticky Strategy™ Assessment reports across seven measures. Together they show leadership where revenue is protected, where it is exposed, and where growth is available inside the existing portfolio.
- 01
Relationship Health
How strong are your client relationships today?
A current read on the trust, engagement, and responsiveness inside each strategic relationship.
- 02
Client Stickiness
How embedded are you — and how difficult would you be to replace?
Where you are woven into how the client operates, and where you could be swapped out without much friction.
- 03
Executive Connectivity
Are you connected to the people who actually influence decisions?
Whether your relationships reach the decision influencers, or stop at the people who manage the work.
- 04
Relationship Perception Gap
Do you see the relationship the same way your client does?
The distance between what your team believes and what the client reports — usually the most revealing signal in the portfolio.
- 05
Growth Readiness
Are your strongest relationships positioned for growth?
Which relationships can carry an expansion conversation now, and which need strengthening first.
- 06
Portfolio Risk
Where is your existing revenue most vulnerable?
Concentration, single-threaded relationships, and quiet erosion that revenue reporting will not show you.
- 07
Growth Opportunity
Where is untapped growth hiding inside the clients you already have?
The expansion available inside the portfolio you have already earned the right to grow.

Sticky Strategy™ Assessment
The entry point. A measured read on relationship strength, revenue risk, and where growth is hiding inside the clients you already have.
Strategic Relationship Development
Building the capabilities the assessment says are missing — coaching as an intervention, not a product.
Strategic Advisory
Ongoing senior-level guidance for leaders carrying complex, high-value client relationships.
Workshops and Facilitation
Customized, working sessions that leave teams with decisions and plans — not slideware.
Sticky Strategy™ Executive Intensive
A two-day onsite experience for leadership teams — our most concentrated route through the framework.
Revenue tells you what you have. Relationships tell you how defensible it is.
We help organizations see the true strength of their client relationships — and turn that intelligence into protected revenue, stronger executive connections, and repeatable growth. Lasting success isn't built solely by acquiring new customers; it's achieved by maximizing the value of the relationships organizations have already earned.
