YOU'VE LOST THE ACCOUNT™
The Consulting Future Lab™
A 7-minute interactive experience for consultants

YOU'VE LOST
THE ACCOUNT.

Your client has changed. Your engagement is gone. You have one chance to win it back.

No sign-up. No scorecard. No generic “assessment”.

Fair warning

This experience is designed to challenge your current consulting model.

Nothing here predicts your future. It creates a plausible scenario using the choices you make, then forces you to respond to it.

Thanks for everything you've done for us.

We've decided not to proceed with the next engagement. Our needs have changed, and we're now able to handle significantly more of this work internally.

We'd still like to stay in touch.
Of course, that wasn't really your client.

Let's find out what happens when it is.

Give us just enough context to reconstruct a plausible future loss.

This is a simulated strategic exercise. It does not make factual predictions about your client, market, or future.

Outcome

ACCOUNT LOST

What the client thought about your moves
The real reveal

You just tried to save one account.

The deeper question is whether the business behind that account is still designed for the value clients will buy next.

Before you decide what to do next

Saving the account was a simulation. Your next decision is real.

Answer five short questions. The app will tell you whether the experience points to immediate reinvention, one unresolved barrier, or no reason to buy anything yet.

The email you don't want to receive

This email doesn't exist.

The question is whether your business is changing fast enough to keep it that way.

SIMULATED FUTURE SCENARIO

I LOST THE ACCOUNT.
I had one chance to win it back. Think you can?

PASS THE ACCOUNT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

Share the experience on LinkedIn and tag a consultant you think should be put in the hot seat. Don't tell them what happens.

LinkedIn does not reliably allow websites to pre-fill post text or tags. The app copies a suggested post for you, then opens LinkedIn's share screen. Add your tag before posting.
