Aligning on the "Why"—The Key to Engagement and Customer Satisfaction

The #1 predictor of customer satisfaction in a service organization isn’t just meeting SLAs, adopting customer centricity, or hitting KPI benefit targets. While these are essential, they aren't what truly drives engagement or creates lasting impact. What really matters? Connecting to the deeper purpose—the “Why” of the organization or even the “Why” of your customer’s customers.

This alignment is especially critical when driving change, such as getting sales teams to adopt new technologies. If they see how a new tool or process connects to the mission that inspires them, adoption becomes a natural step rather than a forced initiative. Engagement flourishes when people see their contributions as meaningful.

So, the next time you're deciding where to focus your efforts, ask yourself: Are you working on the mechanics, or are you aligning with the mission? The best way to create real value is to attach yourself to the purpose that fuels passion—because that’s what drives true joy and impact.
