Client • Customer • Sponsor • Employee
No matter what you call your high-value relationship, Hallway Talk reveals the Truth of what's on their mind.
Hallway Talk helps companies optimize their most important marketing and sales relationships leading to better business stability and growth.
We do it by uncovering the perceptions of your business that are shared in the Hallways, but might not be shared with you. These 'Truths" that are spoken in the hallway reveal important and actionable business insights that allow for you to improve relationships, reputation and foster loyalty.
What We Do
We Ask.
We hold confidential one-on-one interviews to proactively get a true reading of your company's performance. It sounds simple. But the truth of the matter is it takes an experienced, professional listener asking the right questions to reveal the insights you need.
We Listen.
We focus on your client's words, their intonation and their tone. We ask probing follow-up questions so that we (and you) can truly understand what they are thinking.
You Hear.
As a result, you retain clients. You grow businesses. You take the issues off the table so that you can do the best work possible.

The reason I talk to myself is because I'm the only one whose answers I accept.
-
It takes two to speak truth -- one to speak, and another to hear.
-
We don't get to choose what is true. We only get to choose what we do about it.
-
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.
-
Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away.
