Stay close to customers
1
Join 10 customer calls per quarter
2
Send 3 founder update emails directly to users

Surface 5 product ideas from direct user feedback


Founder distance from customers is one of the most common growth failure modes. This OKR creates a structural commitment to customer proximity — calls, direct emails, and idea capture — that keeps leadership connected to user reality.


Three steps to get started

🎯
10 customer calls in a quarter means roughly one per week. Block time in your calendar before the quarter starts.
🔧
Founder emails should feel personal, not marketing. One insight, one question, one reply option.
📊
The 5 product ideas should be logged in a structured way — not just Slack messages — so they can influence the roadmap.
