Our Process

Process matters. We know what successful businesses know: that thoughtful process design and disciplined process execution are keys to effective d2c management, scalability and repeatability.

At KPI we have a process orientation. Our people think about systematizing the activities that lead to discovery, insight and continuous improvement. Our processes help small companies act bigger without the heft, and help big companies move more nimbly without sacrificing their brand standards.

1

We start by
listening.

Where other firms start by telling you what’s broken, we start by listening about your goals, customers, and challenges.

2

We develop a plan.

We think that process organizes and guides the “right” work activity, by the right people, in the right order, at the right time.

3

We drive top line growth.

We focus on key functional areas that drive performance, customer acquisition, and top line sales growth.

4

We boost bottom line efficiency.

We create alignment of functional areas that ensure smooth operations, reduce variable costs, and boost contribution margins.

5

We make data-backed decisions.

Together, we review what processes, deliverables, and analytics we can revise to further your brand’s success.
