    How One Conversation Turned a Client Relationship From a 6 to a 10 | Stacie DeJesus from RKL LLP

    Ever wondered how one conversation can turn a client relationship from a 6 to a 10? Here’s the real story behind that transformation. In this episode of The CX Catalyst, Stephen Banbury sits down with Stacie DeJesus from RKL LLP to break down how one client conversation completely changed a relationship and what it reveals about client experience, client feedback, and client retention in professional services. Four years ago, Stacie’s role didn’t even exist. As RKL grew through expansion and acquisitions, it became clear that informal check-ins and partner-level feedback weren’t enough. Clients were leaving quietly, and the firm didn’t always know why. Everything shifted when RKL moved from individual feedback to a firm-wide client experience strategy. That’s when the team started uncovering the insights that actually mattered. But the real impact came from what they did next. Instead of ignoring negative feedback, they leaned into it. They reached out, listened closely, and made meaningful changes. One client relationship went from a score of 6 to a 10 through intentional follow-up, accountability, and a more structured approach to customer experience. This episode explores how turning client feedback into action can strengthen client relationships, improve retention, and drive measurable business growth.
