Whether in advertising, marketing or any other service, agencies depend on great relationships with their clients. But nearly every agency has dealt with client friction and misunderstandings, often without knowing what went wrong or how to fix it. Before a bad relationship derails a campaign or mars a firm's reputation, agencies and all professional service companies need effective tools to repair the damage.
There are two kind of problems: Task oriented and underlying. Before an agency fixes an issue with a deliverable or a task, it needs to trace the issue to its root – the relationship with the client.
