The customer alignment playbook

Four ways to stay grounded

Customer alignment isn't a one-time exercise. It's a system. Here's how Shorter Loop keeps you connected to reality.

The Old Way

The Telephone Game

Customer feedback passes through sales, support, and success before it reaches product. By the time you hear it, it's been filtered, summarized, and editorialized. The original voice is lost.
