I Had A Virtual Slap To The Face Today š°
Itās never fun losing a client
Then finding out a few months later theyāve 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 didnāt know
But thatās 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 didnāt feel we had his back after being passed between team members
We lost his trust
& the real kickerā¦ we didnāt even reach out to ask why he was leaving
Some of your greatest & closest clients will jump ship the minute things donāt look great
Your clients will always do whatās best for THEM, no matter how much youāve done for them in the past
But you canāt 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, itās also very much a relationship game š¤
To the ex-client that gave me that virtual slap todayā¦ I appreciate the honesty & insight šŖ
Some big business lessons
You got this šŖ
