OUR SOLUTION
Building a Client-First Culture through Structured CX Management at Pinion

Pinion recognized the need to shift from a sales-driven approach to a client-centric model to improve service consistency. CX Pilots partnered with Pinion to identify challenges, including the lack of a formal CX strategy and inconsistent client experiences. CX Pilots worked with Pinion’s leadership to align CX goals with business objectives, focusing on increasing relationship revenue, improving service quality, and reducing churn. 

Laying the Foundation

CX Pilots performed CX assessments to uncover gaps in communication and service consistency. They implemented the "CX Accord," establishing nine standards that clarified employee responsibilities in delivering client excellence. The “CXcellence Awards” motivated staff by rewarding those who embodied these standards.


Journey Mapping and Service Blueprinting

CX Pilots conducted journey mapping for Pinion’s most profitable clients, identifying communication gaps and clarifying roles. Service blueprints streamlined processes, ensuring a consistent client experience.


CX Training and Empowerment

CX Pilots developed six training modules on empathy, communication, and service recovery. This empowered employees to confidently manage client interactions, leading to stronger relationships and improved service quality.


Metrics and Governance

A governance framework was established to track key metrics like NPS, client retention, and employee engagement. The CX Governance Cohort monitored these metrics to ensure CX remained a strategic priority.
