About Nicholas

Where customers go quiet

Customers go quiet, and nobody can say why.

The cause is usually small: a vague reply, a late update, a return form that asks too much.

Contacts are handled one at a time, so the pattern rarely reaches the people who can fix it.

Found, fixed and measured

Advice and the build come from one place, so the plan does not stop at a report.

The problem is found from your customers' side, in the moments where they give up.

The fix is built with your team, from clearer replies and simpler returns to automation that handles the routine questions.

What changes is measured, so you can see the difference in figures.

How it works

  1. A 30-minute call

    We agree what you want to fix and whether the fit is right.

  2. The Health Check

    About two weeks, at a fixed fee, to find where customers go quiet.

  3. A clear plan

    What to fix first, and how the results will be measured.

  4. Fix it together

    The fixes built and put in place with your team, automation included, scoped and priced after the Health Check.

Questions

Who do you work with?

Online and direct-to-consumer brands in Australia whose customers are going quiet after they order, and who want the small things fixed and the results measured.

Do you advise, or build the fix too?

Both. Sydney Standard finds what is going wrong for your customers, then builds the fix with your team, from support replies and returns to your helpdesk, AI agent and the automation around them.

How is pricing set?

Each engagement has a fixed scope, a set duration and a fixed fee agreed in writing before work starts. A quote follows a short call.

Is the work remote or on-site?

Remote by default, from Sydney. On-site in Sydney can be arranged.

How is my information handled?

With care. The work is done through the access your team provides, customer details stay in your systems, and how everything is handled is agreed in writing before work starts.

How do we start?

Email nick@sydneystandard.com. If it is a fit, we book a 30-minute call, and the next step is usually the CX Health Check.
