When we dropped below 95%, what we realized was we didn't have a great communication rhythm. We were just working on the clients, we were focused on making it rain, we were doing our work and only reacting to the client.

And once we recognized that, we said, "Hey, we need to actually proactively set meetings, we need to have an intentional meeting agenda, and we need to track the that that activity is happening every single month. And for some of us, hiding behind the technology or having some automatic reporting in place can be problematic, right?
