Questions this episode answers

Frequently asked questions

Should I spend on marketing to get more clients?

Not first. The hosts say the first question is whether you are keeping the clients you already have, because paying to acquire clients you then lose is money into a black hole. Retention comes before acquisition.

Why do clients quietly stop coming back?

Often for reasons owners never track, from a team member upsetting them to simply not being greeted. The hosts stress monitoring your clients so you can find and fix the real reason.
