Getting to the Truth

Uncovering the truth, or the “third side,” is the key to helping businesses make informed decisions and achieve sustainable growth

Win-Loss & Customer Retention Experts 1

What if you Could Just Ask?

Have you ever wished you could just ask your prospective customers what it would take to get them to buy? Or maybe you want to reach decision-makers in a closed-lost opportunity to find out why they chose a competitor over your solution. Or perhaps you want to reach a former customer to find out what went wrong.

You Can't

For a long list of reasons, you can’t ask your customers directly. Even if you could, they probably aren’t going to be as candid with you as you need them to be.

But We Can

As a neutral third party, we can approach your current, past, and potential future customers and can ask them literally anything – pricing, competitive intel, product features, sales tactics and more. And we get more candid answers than you can get on your own

Trust and Rapport

At Thirdside, we pride ourselves on our ability to build trust and rapport with your customers, creating an environment where they feel comfortable sharing their honest opinions and experiences. This approach allows us to uncover the truth behind their decision-making process and provide you with the information you need to make data-driven decisions.

Our Super Power

Our superpower lies in our ability to get people on the phone and have lengthy conversations with them. On behalf of our clients, we get their current, former, and potential customers to find out why they buy, why they don’t buy, and why they stopped buying.

Customers Want to Be Heard

By removing any hint of sales pressure or bias from the vendor perspective, we get much more candid responses – both positive and negative – than our clients can get on their own. Why do people talk to us? Because we want to know about their business, their needs, their motivations, and people like to be heard.

Our Team

Unlike career researchers who tend to be academic in their approach, our team members are all experienced sales & marketing professionals. We’ve carried sales quotas, run marketing departments, and managed product lines. We take our in-the-trenches experience into every project, interview, report, and campaign for our clients. Our ability to pull and probe on the right experiential threads as they reveal themselves allows us to uncover blindspots that may have been beyond the initial line of thinking.
