Is LIFT for me?

  • LIFT is built for MarCom agencies and professional services companies that want to take a proactive, data-driven approach to managing client relationships and strategic decision-making. It’s used by client leaders, business leaders, project leads and insight teams. If you believe in combining human connection with operational excellence, LIFT is built for you.

  • LIFT can be used by companies of all sizes but is best suited for mid-sized to enterprise-level agencies—especially those managing multiple client relationships and looking to drive retention, repeat business, and long-term growth. Whether you operate in one market or across many, LIFT helps you bring structure, insight, and consistency to how you manage and scale client relationships - and your business.

  • Homegrown surveys can offer basic insights, but they often rely on manual effort and can lack consistency, depth, and scalability. LIFT offers so much more: automated data collection, real-time analysis, predictive relationship health metrics, and access to the largest benchmark database in the MarCom industry. It’s a complete system that delivers both high-level and client-specific insights, surfaces risks early, and gives your team the clarity to act—with far less effort.

  • Yes. LIFT integrates seamlessly with popular CRM systems and other business tools, ensuring smooth implementation, seamless workflows and immediate impact.

How to use LIFT?

  • LIFT measures the strength of your client relationships—across both the client and team side. It tracks key relationship drivers using structured survey data. In addition to individual driver scores, LIFT provides overall health scores, predictive LIFT Scores, sentiment trends, response rates, and benchmark comparisons—giving you a complete, real-time view of your portfolio and every individual client relationship

  • Not at all. LIFT is designed to be intuitive and easy to use—no technical background required. Our onboarding process is simple, and our support team is here to guide you every step of the way. Plus, you’ll have access to a library of how-to content, so you and your team can get the most out of the platform from day one.

  • You’re in control. With LIFT, you can choose fixed survey intervals or use our adaptive scheduling feature, which suggests timing based on client health signals. We generally recommend surveying 2–4 times a year to be on top of your relationships

  • Yes, you can absolutely use LIFT to gather valuable feedback from just your clients. However, we strongly recommend capturing feedback from both clients and internal teams. Our methodology is built on the belief that every relationship has two sides—and the richest insights come from understanding both perspectives. Collecting both gives you a more complete picture of the relationship dynamics and helps uncover misalignments, risks, and opportunities you might otherwise miss.

    You can also easily start with collecting client feedback and add team feedback later. 

  • More than half of LIFT customers enjoy a client response rate above 50% and a team response rate of 70%

  • Yes. While LIFT comes with 11 proven relationship signals (six for clients and five for teams) backed by a decade of industry data, you can fully customize your survey. Add your own drivers and include specific questions that align with your agency’s structure, services, or client setup. Whether you stick with the tested signals or create your own, LIFT gives you the flexibility to gather the insights that matter most to your business.

  • LIFT analyzes your survey feedback to deliver a full set of relationship health metrics. This includes overall health scores, predictive LIFT Scores, sentiment trends, driver-level performance, and response rates—both at the portfolio level and for individual clients. 

  • The LIFT Score is a predictive metric that gives you a forward-looking view of your client relationships. It analyzes a range of key indicators—including client and team scores, their interdependencies, response rates, non-responders, and how scores progress over time.

    The result is a clear signal of how likely you are to retain a client—so you can take proactive action before small issues turn into lost revenue. It’s not just a score—it’s your early warning system.

  • Yes—easily. LIFT lets you track trends across client and team health, LIFT Score, and individual relationship drivers over any time period. You can also segment your data by client, industry, market or any custom tags to get a precise view of how performance is evolving.

  • Yes. In LIFT’s reporting tool, you can easily see score trends and and comments per driver.

  • You can benchmark LIFT’s proven drivers (6 client drivers and 5 team drivers) and see how your agency compares on each signal based on either market location or client industry level. If you choose to customize drivers and questions these cannot be benchmarks as they are your unique data points.

  • Absolutely. LIFT makes it easy to move from top-level metrics to specific surveys results and comments - this is key advantage of operating with non-anonymized feedback. 

  • Yes. LIFT integrates seamlessly with popular CRM systems and other business tools, ensuring smooth implementation, seamless workflows and immediate impact.

This gives you deep, actionable insight into relationship health, emerging risks, and where your agency is performing strongest—or needs improvement.

  • LIFT gives you a full view of your client relationships—both across your entire portfolio and at the individual client level.

  • Of course! LIFT fully supports multilingual participation. Each client or team member can select their preferred language the first time they respond to a survey, and the platform will remember their choice for all future participation. This ensures a smooth, accessible experience for every respondent, no matter where they’re based.

  • LIFT is designed to make your job easier—not busier. Once your survey setup is complete, your role is simple but impactful: you approve who should be surveyed (on both the client and team side), and give participants a quick heads-up on why their feedback matters.

    After that, LIFT does the heavy lifting—automating feedback collection, analyzing the data, and surfacing insights in real time.
