When it comes to customer engagement,
there’s good news and there’s bad news

First the bad news. Despite what many firms will tell you, there is no silver bullet to your customer engagement woes. You’ve heard the pitch: Simply plug in our software / hardware / black box solution and you’ll be fighting off loyal customers with a stick. But in reality, most of those “solutions” only address a specific piece of the problem rather than the broad set of roadblocks that span across your entire organization.

Now for the good news. There IS a proven approach to building more meaningful relationships with your customers and it’s called Geek Nerd Suit. It’s not a tool or a technology—it’s a designed approach to link your customer technology, data, and strategy that we’ve seen work time and time again. We are Customer Architects who can help design your method to building customer engagement with the Geek Nerd Suit approach. Let’s break it down.

AT YOUR SERVICE

How we can help

In short, getting an organization’s Geeks (technologists), Nerds (analysts), and Suits (strategists) in lockstep is the surefire path to pay dirt. We’re so confident in the approach, we even wrote a book on the subject. Here’s how our team of Geeks, Nerds, and Suits can help yours.

“Elicit is helping us change the game. In an industry with such intense competition, we are looking for every advantage we can possibly get to better connect with and understand our customers.

Ed Robben
Chief Information Officer

“It is an amazing feeling to be able to completely trust a consultant as if they are truly part of your organization. This is the second company I’ve brought Elicit in to help with and once again they continue to impress. Their guidance, experience and intelligence are what help our executive team work cross-functionally and connect customer-level behaviors to top-level corporate strategy. Plain and simple, we love Elicit.”

Eric Hunter

FEARLESS LEADERS

A great company’s leadership team is a lot like a superhero squad. While they all have unique backstories, skills, and experience, they’re always more powerful collectively than alone. Where our leaders lack x-ray vision and the power of flight, they make up for it with powerful prowess in data, technology, marketing, and creative.
