I Had A Virtual Slap To The Face Today šŸ˜°

March 05, 2025ā€¢1 min read

Itā€™s never fun losing a client

Then finding out a few months later theyā€™ve now signed up with a competitor

What stings even moreā€¦

Finding out the reasons they left in the first place

Simple fixes that are now in place, but at that time, we didnā€™t know

But thatā€™s the thingā€¦ you have to learn these lessons

No matter how hard they are to take

Your clients, like ours, trust us to help change their lives

& in this case, this client didnā€™t feel we had his back after being passed between team members

We lost his trust

& the real kickerā€¦ we didnā€™t even reach out to ask why he was leaving

Some of your greatest & closest clients will jump ship the minute things donā€™t look great

Your clients will always do whatā€™s best for THEM, no matter how much youā€™ve done for them in the past

But you canā€™t just burn bridges

So to any former clients who left & felt like they were just another number to us

I do apologise ā¤ļø

But know thisā€¦ I/we do remember you

Running a business is a numbers game

Yet, at the same time, itā€™s also very much a relationship game šŸ¤

To the ex-client that gave me that virtual slap todayā€¦ I appreciate the honesty & insight šŸ’Ŗ

Some big business lessons

You got this šŸ’Ŗ

David :)
