'Quick Syncs': The Silent Productivity Killer
That innocent calendar invite for a "quick sync" might be the biggest threat to your team's productivity.
Poor time management ranks as one of the biggest customer success challenges.
When status updates and check-ins fill in most of your calendar, customer work takes a back seat, similar to how reactive CS teams struggle with resource allocation.
That creates a cascade of delayed deliverables and missed customer touchpoints.
The Real Cost
Every 30-minute sync pulls your team away from customer-facing activities.
One manufacturing team discovered that switching to strict 15-minute daily syncs dramatically improved their resource allocation and task completion rates.
How did they do it?
When time's up, everyone leaves—finished or not. This forces everyone to focus on the outcome and be concise.
