Top-line revenue can look great, but if inconsistent delivery, dropped balls, or communication gaps are present, your profit margins are quietly eroding. That is customer churn by a thousand cuts.
It is easy to dismiss these as one-off misses. A late handoff here. A make-good there. A customer who stopped calling and never said why. Stack them up and they are a pattern. The company is paying for work it already sold, twice.
Count the rework, the apologies, and the accounts that went quiet. That is the margin the top line is hiding. Fix the handoff before you celebrate the next closed deal.
If the numbers look fine and the week still feels leaky, book a 15-minute Peace Talk. We will look for the pattern, not the latest fire.
