"I see the CX gaps a business misses — and I show where the money is hiding inside them."
dthink is Ilya Chadin's bureau.
I work on the floor personally — mapping the customer journey, talking to teams, and checking what actually changes after we leave.
Common gaps
This is what we most often find in stores and in data. Sound familiar?
Clients don't come back — or come back too slowly
In many retail and HoReCa projects up to 80% of clients never return.
Clienteling →20% of clients drive most of your revenue — but you work with them like everyone else
Most businesses have no retention or development program for key clients: no tracking, no segmentation, no deliberate return path.
Clienteling →Research and reviews turn into documents, not actions
NPS gets calculated, reports get sent — and nothing changes on the shop floor.
CX Design →Automation serves the process, not the client or the employee
AI and CRM speed up operations but don't strengthen trust.

What we do
We answer for metrics, not for a slide deck. Every service is built around your business and your team.
Diagnostic & strategy
We meet, I dive into your numbers — revenue, conversion, churn, the cost of a lost client. Then I bring back a 90-day strategy: how to win back the people who already bought and earn more from them, without buying new traffic. You leave with a plan the team can run themselves.
Telegram: short field notes from live projects and reactions to the industry. Blog: long-form pieces on service, clienteling, and AI — no fluff.

Deep dives & playbooks
Long-form pieces on how we look at CX, clienteling, and AI — and what we actually do inside projects.
Brands we've worked with and taught
Companies Ilya or dthink have worked with — on projects, training, sessions, and advisory.
What we did for clients
Retail, e-com, HoReCa, Foodtech, healthcare, transport, public sector, B2B.
Two quick checks — pick where to start
A view of your service from the outside: where clients don't come back, where the team works by hand, where CRM doesn't help, and where a system is already in place.
Money is leaking — every day, in every shift.
Clients don't come back, repeat sales don't happen, NPS gets counted and nothing changes on the floor. We show you where your leaks are — and what to do about them in the next 90 days.
