Print it before the first invitation goes out

A nine-point checklist for deal teams running customer calls after the LOI is signed. It covers how to cap management-nominated customers, draw an independent list, add customers who left, size the sample and report results by list. It comes from the Three-List Method in Koji's confirmatory customer calls playbook, and Koji can run the interviews and keep each answer tied to its list.

Where this appears

What's in this checklist

  • Cap management-nominated customers at one third of calls
  • Draw a second list yourself by segment, tenure and size
  • Add customers who churned or downgraded in 24 months
  • Cover at least 60% of ARR across the three lists
  • Frame it as independent research and keep the deal out
  • Ask about events, not satisfaction scores
  • Send personal links with a 3 to 5 day window
  • Tag every finding with the list it came from
  • Report List A next to Lists B and C, never blended
