Verifiable client feedback for IT consultants and freelancers

Feedback Journey is a client-feedback platform for IT consultants, freelancers and consultancies. You collect honest client scores, set improvement goals from what they show, and prove your results with a QR-verifiable Journey Card.

Run a short survey after each project, sprint or workshop. Put the Journey Card it produces on your CV, your proposal, or your Upwork profile.

Free to start — no credit card.

How does Feedback Journey work?

Feedback Journey runs one short loop after every piece of work you deliver. First you survey the people you worked with. Then you set an improvement goal from what their scores show. Finally you publish a Journey Card that proves the result. The loop repeats, so your evidence gets stronger with every project.

Who is Feedback Journey for?

Feedback Journey is built for knowledge workers who are hired into someone else's organization and have to prove the value they deliver. Three groups get the most out of it.

  • Consultants and freelancers on long-term contracts, working inside a client's team.
  • Service delivery professionals who work with clients over time, but not side by side.
  • Course and workshop facilitators who need feedback the moment a session ends.

What does the feedback loop look like?

Each round has four steps, and each one takes minutes rather than hours.

  1. Create a survey and invite clients to respond.
  2. Evaluate the results and set an improvement goal.
  3. Start over.

Why do honest scores beat high scores?

Feedback only improves performance when it points at the work rather than at the person. The largest review of the evidence, a meta-analysis of 607 effect sizes across 23,663 observations, found that feedback raised performance on average but that more than a third of feedback interventions actually made performance worse (Kluger & DeNisi, Psychological Bulletin, 1996). Feedback Journey is designed around that finding. Questions are fixed and task-focused, and responders are told to save a 10 for genuinely world-class work, so the scores you collect mean something.

Feedback is the breakfast of champions.

Ken Blanchard, American Author

What does Feedback Journey look like for long-term contracts?

Feedback Journey has three survey types, one for each way knowledge work is delivered. Every type asks four fixed questions scored from 0 to 10, so results stay comparable over time. Pick the kind of work you do to see what it covers.

For long-term assignments

A long-term survey asks the team around you how the collaboration is actually going. Run it a few times a year and you can see your scores move.

  • Survey your client 2–4 times a year.
  • Get recognition for your work — and spot where to improve.
  • Show progress as you go.
  • Build a reputation for caring about the value you create for clients.

What do clients say about documented feedback?

Clients and hiring managers tell us the same three things. Documented feedback makes a consultant easier to trust, easier to compare, and easier to talk about.

  • A consultant who asks for feedback regularly is telling me something. They care about the quality of the service, and they care about whether we are happy with it.
  • A CV with an endless list of technologies has limited value. A Journey Card documents customer satisfaction instead. It shows me both the professional skills and how the consultant works with other people.
  • We are a large organization with a lot of consultants. As a leader I cannot follow up on every one of them day to day. I still meet the key account managers, but the ones using Feedback Journey no longer ask me how their consultant is doing. They show me the latest survey instead and say: “Look at this. This is what your peoplethink of my guy.” Those meetings are far more useful.

What does Feedback Journey cost?

Feedback Journey costs nothing to start and €67 per year for one person. A whole organization is €1,500 per year, with no charge per seat. Every plan includes all three survey types, so pick the one that fits you today and upgrade whenever you need to.
