Scenariusze komunikacji

a) QBR — prezentacja wartości — 8 zwrotów

• "In Q2 you processed 14,000 transactions through the platform — that's a 40% increase on Q1."
• "The three goals we set at the beginning of the quarter: two are complete, one is in progress and on track."
• "I'd like to spend 10 minutes on the roadmap — there are two features coming in Q3 that are directly relevant to your use case."
• "Product adoption is at 62% — the gap is in the reporting module. I'd like to propose a short enablement session for your team."
• "Based on the value delivered this quarter, I believe there's a strong case for expanding to the enterprise tier."
• "Is there anything from your side that we haven't covered that you'd like to raise before we move to Q3 goals?"

b) Rozmowa z klientem zagrożonym rezygnacją — 6 zwrotów

• "I noticed usage has dropped 40% in the last three weeks — I wanted to reach out proactively to understand if there's anything we can do."
• "Your health score has moved to amber — can we schedule a call this week to talk through what's changed?"
• "I want to be direct: I'm concerned about this account. Help me understand what's getting in the way of adoption."
• "Is the challenge on the product side, or is it an internal resource issue? Both are things we can work on together."
• "Let me propose a 30-day success plan with three specific goals — if we hit those, we'll have a much stronger foundation for renewal."

c) Rozmowa o odnowieniu — 6 zwrotów

• "Your renewal is coming up in 60 days. Based on the value you've achieved, I'd like to discuss expanding to the enterprise tier."
• "Before we talk numbers, I'd like to review what you've accomplished this year — I think the ROI story is strong."
• "I know budget conversations are happening now — can you let me know what the constraints look like so I can build the right proposal?"
• "We're offering early renewal incentives this quarter — locking in now would save you 15% on the annual fee."
• "What would make this renewal a straightforward decision for you? Let's identify what's standing in the way."
• "I'd like to get your executive sponsor on a call — I want to make sure the decision is made with the full value picture in front of them."

Słownictwo QBR — jak prowadzić przegląd po angielsku

• "I want to flag one area of concern and propose how we address it — I'd rather surface it here than wait."
• "Let's agree on three goals for next quarter and assign an owner to each — that way we have clear accountability."
• "I'll follow up with a written summary and the action log — can you confirm who should receive it on your side?"

Najczęstsze błędy Polaków

1. „CSM" — wymowa: litery C-S-M, nie słowo. CSM wymawiamy jako /ˌsiː ˌes ˈem/. W pełnej formie: Customer Success Manager — wszystkie trzy słowa z osobnym akcentem.

2. „churn" — wymowa /tʃɜːrn/, nie przez polskie „ch". Angielskie „ch" w churn to /tʃ/ — jak w chair lub church. ✅ Powiedz na głos: "church", "check", "churn" — to ten sam dźwięk.

3. „make an onboarding" → „run / deliver onboarding" lub „onboard the customer". ❌ "We made an onboarding for the client." → ✅ "We onboarded the client last week." / "We delivered the onboarding programme on schedule."

4. „QBR" — litery Q-B-R, pełna forma: quarterly business review. QBR wymawiamy jako /ˌkjuː ˌbiː ˈɑːr/. Pełna forma to quarterly business review — nie quarterly business rapport (rapport to relacja/porozumienie, zupełnie inne słowo).

5. „at-risk" — łącznik jako przymiotnik, bez łącznika jako orzecznik. ✅ "an at-risk customer" (przed rzeczownikiem — z łącznikiem). ✅ "the customer is at risk" (po czasowniku — bez łącznika). ❌ "The customer is at-risk."
