Client Offboarding Survey

When a client leaves: the real reasons, the win-back door, and the referral despite exit.

5 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

A departing client's exit interview is the cheapest consulting you will ever receive. This offboarding survey asks the real reasons behind the polite ones, what the successor offers that you did not, whether the door stays open, and – often surprisingly – whether they would still refer you for cases unlike their own.

Handled graciously, offboarding creates future pipeline: clients leave for stage-fit reasons, remember the exit's professionalism, and return or refer when stages change.
