Methodology
Walker Loyalty Matrix™
Measure and monitor your B2B relationships to guide your CX strategy, pinpoint key improvements, and manage relationships account by account. Walker’s methodology has helped hundreds of B2B companies reduce customer churn and seize new opportunities to grow their business.
B2B is different. Your CX program should be too.
Long sales cycles, complicated purchasing committees, multi-layered supply chains – these characteristics and many others create difficult challenges for customer experience leaders in business-to-business companies.
You need more than overall satisfaction scores and indicators of problem areas. You need to be able to manage customer relationships at a granular level – account by account and contact by contact.
With Walker’s CX Solution you get a unique view into which accounts are at risk and need intervention. You identify the accounts that are loyal and ready to expand their business. And you can even determine which accounts may feel trapped in their relationship with you and may be considering other alternatives. What’s more, by combining this with financial data you can determine the extent of risk to your business.
At the heart of Walker’s proprietary approach is the Walker Loyalty Matrix™ – a practical framework that helps you monitor and improve customer experience at all levels: account, functional, and strategic.

Identify Who’s Loyal and Who’s Leaving
The Walker Loyalty Matrix is a practical and proven methodology for segmenting your customers that is particularly effective with B2B accounts. Using a short battery of questions, you’ll have a measure of the attitude and behavior of your customers, which tells you if they are at risk, trapped, or accessible. Account managers use this key information to salvage struggling relationships and grow your strongest accounts.
Assess your company’s risk and reward
By connecting account-level financial information, you get a clear picture of potential risks from lost accounts or declining business. What’s more, you can get a view into the accounts that are your strongest performers – ones that might be primed for upsell and cross-sell opportunities.
This level of customer intelligence greatly enhances your ability to make decisions on action planning, forecasting, account assignments, and much more.

Dashboards and Reports
Turn data into insights with dashboards and reports ready-built to help you share insights across the organization and start making CX improvements today.
Three dashboards are included:
- Overall snapshot of your company health – Provides composite scores to key performance areas as well as overall loyalty measures and segmentation. Results can be filtered by key segments. With this information you get a quick look at the health of your company with the ability to drill down into the data for further analysis and action.
- Account-level summary – You get a view of all of you accounts with a breakdown of their key scores and classifications. This includes a listing of top accounts by loyalty category, which allows you to quickly identify accounts at risk, those that are trapped, and those that are loyal accounts poised for growth. Tie in financial data and you can discover where action is most urgent.
- Individual account summary – This provides a view of single accounts providing a listing of each contact that has been invited to provide their insights. At this granular level you can determine levels of loyalty by individual and pinpoint the relationships which require immediate attention. The account summary also includes a distribution report (who from the account has been invited to take the summary and whether or not they have completed it) and the ability to issue surveys and reminders directly from the report.
At the heart of our reporting is the segmentation provided by the Walker Loyalty Matrix™, which segments customers as follows:
- Truly Loyal – Customers who have every intention of continuing business and have a positive attitude toward your company.
- Accessible – Customers who have a good attitude about working with you, but do not plan to continue their relationship. This typically means something has changed and they don’t need your product or service any longer.
- Trapped – Customers who show every indication of continuing business with you, but they’re not happy about it. They feel trapped in their relationship.
- High Risk – Customers who do not intend to return and do not have a healthy attitude about their relationship with your company.
The dashboards also incorporate:
- Net Promoter Score:
- Promoters
- Detractors
- Passives
- Summary of key questions
- Key driver analysis
- Trend data, as it builds over time
- The ability to filter by segments:
- Filter by geographic region so performance comparisons can be made
- Filter by branch, store, channel, product or other business units to create benchmarks for performance
You also get dashboards tailored to roles in your organization:
- Account manager
- Regional leader
- Executive
