If you have already read the book or attended a workshop, this is your next step. If the Method is new to you, the complete ebook is included.

Submit your completed workbook and receive structured written feedback on your plan’s strengths, gaps and priorities within seven days.

What happens after I submit my workbook?

Within seven days, you will receive structured written feedback covering the strengths, gaps and priorities in your plan.

Can I get a consultation after receiving my assessment?

Yes. After receiving your written assessment, you can book an optional implementation consultation.

The assessment becomes our starting point, so the conversation can focus on your most important decisions, unresolved questions and practical implementation priorities. Booking details will be included with your assessment.

Turn retention theory into an operational process

Winning a customer is only the beginning. What happens afterwards determines whether the relationship develops or disappears.

Through Gratitude, Reinforcement, Engagement, Anchoring and Transformation, you will design how your organisation:

  • recognises customers after commitment

  • reinforces confidence in their decision

  • turns passive customers into active participants

  • becomes the standard against which alternatives are compared

  • earns voluntary advocacy

The result is a retention and advocacy strategy translated into specific actions your organisation can implement.

Designed for people responsible for what happens after the sale

This programme is suited to business owners, leaders, marketers, customer-success professionals and membership teams responsible for:

  • customer retention and renewals

  • repeat revenue

  • post-purchase or post-join engagement

  • customer participation

  • referrals and advocacy

It is most valuable when you are ready to make decisions and apply them—not simply collect more information.

What you will achieve

By the end of the programme, you will have:

  • examined what currently happens after customers commit

  • identified where preventable churn may begin

  • designed practical retention actions for your organisation

  • established priorities your team can implement

  • created a coherent retention and advocacy plan

  • tested and strengthened that plan through structured assessment

What practitioners say about the G.R.E.A.T. Method

“Your insights on retention, after-sales, and the G.R.E.A.T. relationship-building framework are highly relevant to maintaining and growing our membership base. We’re putting them into action immediately with our membership team.”
Susan McKay
Commercial Director
Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
"Vladislav led a thoughtful and highly relevant session in a very practical and engaging way, clearly demonstrating how stronger customer relationships are built deliberately rather than by chance.”

“The way you wove together purpose, process and psychology to explore the route to belonging was compelling. I also liked the way you framed AI as a tool that can help, without letting it dominate the narrative—which happens too often, in my view. ”
Mal Minhas
Charity Trustee and former Head of Software, Vertu
