Following a negative satisfaction survey and a client complaint about lack of responsiveness from Mark, Asymmetric initiated a structured relationship repair plan for Bluepoint. The plan centers on Mark joining the February 4 weekly call to demonstrate renewed executive attention, paired with a proactive deliverable — a reverse ATM ROI calculator — to showcase tangible value. A data enrichment project on a hospital contact list is also in motion as a new service opportunity.
"He did mention when he was talking about it, he's like, we didn't really get a response from Mark on what was happening." — Karly
Mark will join the next weekly Bluepoint call on Wednesday, February 4 to:
- Demonstrate executive-level attention and accountability
- Address any lingering concerns directly
- Signal that the relationship is a priority
Mark and Karly will hold a prep call early the week of Feb 4 to align on talking points and review account status before the client call.
Rather than only responding to complaints, the team will bring a proactive deliverable to the Feb 4 call: a reverse ATM ROI calculator built as an interactive tool for Bluepoint's sales team.
Purpose:
- Demonstrate initiative and value beyond reactive task execution
- Give Bluepoint's sales reps a tangible tool they can use on prospect calls
- Reframe the relationship around forward-looking partnership
How it works:
- Inputs: number of machines, cost per machine, installation cost, transaction volume, average transaction value, operating days, transaction fee percentage
- Outputs: monthly revenue, payback period, annual ROI
- Optional extension: cash handling error savings as an additional ROI dimension
Build process:
- Karly will ask Bluepoint for their existing ROI or profit spreadsheet so Mark can mirror their actual assumptions
- Mark will build the calculator (likely as an interactive web app, similar to the Aviary calculator) before the Feb 4 call
- If no spreadsheet is available, Mark will build a draft version and invite their feedback to refine it
Bluepoint provided a sample list of hospital contacts (sourced from Integra) for data enrichment. This is a new service opportunity.
Current status:
- List contains columns with unclear abbreviations: NAE (National Account Executive), RAM (Regional Account Manager), SDH (unit name, exact meaning TBD), FAC (Facility)
- GPO code column references Group Purchasing Organizations (e.g., Vizient)
- Contact names are present but no email addresses
Constraint: Bluepoint cannot direct-market to these contacts per their Integra contract, so the enrichment strategy needs to account for indirect outreach approaches.
Next steps:
- Karly to email Bluepoint to confirm the meaning of all column abbreviations (NAE, RAM, SDH, FAC)
- Once confirmed, Mark will enrich the list in Clay — pulling emails, news mentions, job postings, and other signals
- Enriched list returned to Karly for review and client delivery
