IWCI Institut für Wachstumschancen und Innovation
Product · Klartext-Tour

We talk to your customers, employees and partners. And tell you honestly what we hear.

Klartext is German for straight talk. Customers rarely tell sales why they do not buy. Employees rarely tell management what goes wrong. They tell a neutral institute. We collect that feedback, condense it and turn it into measures that work within three to six months.

Who we talk to

Everyone with an honest view of your company

Customers

Why they buy. What annoys them. Whether they understand your offer at all.

Prospects

Why they decided against you. The most expensive information almost no company has.

Employees

What everyone inside knows and nobody says. From leadership to the shop floor.

Partners

Suppliers, dealers and service providers. They see your company up close, unfiltered.

What we ask

Six simple questions. Uncomfortable answers.

A neutral person runs the conversations, one to one and confidential. No questionnaires, no survey tools. That is exactly why people say what they think.

  1. What does the company do well?
  2. What does it do badly?
  3. Where does it need to improve?
  4. What would you do differently?
  5. How do you perceive the company?
  6. What does the company stand for?

Process

Three steps from opinion picture to growth

  1. Neutral opinion picture

    Confidential conversations with customers, prospects, employees and partners. After around 30 days: where you really stand.

  2. Straight talk and measures

    We condense the feedback, put self image and external image side by side and show what delivers results in three to six months.

  3. Deliver growth

    On request we support implementation. First measures live after around 120 days, with a target versus actual review.
