Creating the World's Best Client Experience

So what does ‘embodied spirituality’ mean to you? For some it may mean becoming more in tune with what our bodies are telling us. For others it may mean a deeper connection. In order for us to live in our true essence, it means we must ‘balance’ our different energies. Emma Burton calls herself a ‘Shakti Igniter’ and in this episode, we have a deep discussion about what that looks like in her work...

As coaches or business owners, the TOP priority should always be to deliver VALUE first, regardless of the outcome. In a free or paid capacity. But what REALLY is value, and how do we ensure we actually deliver it? Value is an experience–it’s leaving someone with a feeling and something so amazing, their life is impacted even if they don’t choose to buy from you. In this episode, the 2nd of a 3 pa...

What is ‘Next Level Living’? On one level, one might think you’d need a secret formula, or a new itinerary. But living a life that is all-encompassing should be one that allows you to incorporate all aspects of a holistic approach. We are human beings that are multifaceted–and we really need a varied approach. Lesley Martin is a trained therapist and trauma expert and for years has had her own cou...

So in any client experience–the value doesn’t begin when a client says YES to join. The focus is often on what a client gets inside a program or experience. What if the value started at the point of connection? As business owners in the business of creating transformative client experiences value should be seeded from the outset. In this episode, the first of a 3 part mini series, I outline m...

So when you work with a coach, or are looking for a coach, what are you looking for really? Many people focus on looking for an outcome, or to have their problem solved. But along the way thinking about the best means of support you need is EVERYTHING.  Its’ why coaches are not only needed, but why they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. When making changes in a routine, it’s important to re...

How you execute your client experience should be a reflection of you and your business. Things like your leadership style, your mission and values, company promise, and the unique skill set you bring to the table are all important so you help your clients get the results they desire. But when you break all of that down–underneath–it’s really about your BRAND. In this episode, I offer some insights...

Many of the issues that keep people stuck, and companies from reaching their goals stem from a lack of communication. We focus on the tasks involved and what we want to take away rather than the actual process itself. The biggest difference in getting your message and point across is HOW you are being in the process of communicating. When you zone in on the ‘communication super powers’ you increas...

The most important part of any Client Experience centers around the value delivered. Value delivered usually brings results and ultimately transformation. But there is a tricky thought and idea around ‘value’ in that it is misunderstood and associated with offering MORE stuff. More isn’t always better and bringing value means you approach it differently. Listen to this episode and I offer 3 key th...

When working with clients, even before the work begins–you must understand where they are, and how they communicate. People perceive their challenges differently and we must understand that and be able to speak to them in way that resonates, not just talk at them with talking points. Carly Pepin is a behavioral specialist, coach and speaker and in this episode, we break down her philosophy and app...

People buy programs but what they really want is an outcome, or desired result. In business, focus is placed on the variables that help people make informed decisions and that move them to buy. But in a client experience the focus needs to shift to delivering the outcome they desire. What is the best way to do this? Over my years in business, I have observed both sides of this question and share s...

In a client experience, how do you know you have ‘enough’? Better yet, how much to offer is too much? More often than not, coaches and business owners put more in an experience thinking that that is needed in order to get the best value. We should always want to provide the best value, but offering more isn’t always the best idea. Striking the right balance of activities, space and processing...

What’s the best strategy for living a thriving life? It’s a subject which could potentially have many different answers depending on who you talk to. But for one coach, it took a ‘quarter life crisis’ to figure this out for herself. Now she teaches other women to live by their purpose and best performance. Trang Nguyen is a speaker and mentor for other women and decided to pivot careers...

In person can be magical for a client experience. There just is no substitute for it–not on a computer screen, the phone, or any other means. For the first time this year, I did two destination retreats inside of a month with two different groups of people and each one was unique. Earlier this month I broke down how I made some changes to my signature experience I always lead in Key West. Thi...

Retreats are an amazing way to deliver a client experience. In fact, I would argue that it’s one of the most complete and unique methods to wrap deep work, challenges, fun and community and transformation. We always run retreats in May in Key West and this year, I’m leading two. I decided to do this for a couple of reasons, and it affected my planning and changes I made in my program. Having a ski...

We talk all about the EXPERIENCE of our work with clients on our second show. We position our retreats like experiences.  Because they are. But in order to really do them in a way that works as a REAL experience for your business–you need to think about it from a much larger viewpoint. Retreats can give you endless opportunities to create real change and transformation for clients–but they ca...

In last week’s episode, I shared a little about my philosophy of follow up. So many businesses treat follow up like it’s transactional. Follow up though, can be and should be laid down from the START of an experience not at the end. In this episode, I share more about the 3 kinds of follow up and examples from my work and where they fall.  PODCAST WEBSITE & LINKS: Check out the ULTIMATE PODCA...

So what do you consider to be follow up? Is it staying in touch? Is it an offer of continued support? Or is it just accountability? Follow up on the surface just seems like a message or 2, or keeping a client on our radar. In sales we are taught that the fruit is in the follow up.  Do you agree? Follow up can take on many forms and the KEY is to seed it from the start of a client experience,...

As a coach or business owner, more than anything, you want your clients to succeed. Our WHY is ground in helping show our clients what’s possible. In last week’s episode, I shared what I believe are 3 big challenges in the transformative process. This week’s episode I’ll look at some of the wins. Clients come to us because they believe in what we do, and that we hold the solution for them within o...

Safety.  What does it mean? For one, it means different things to different people.  And in business that is also true. The definition of safety reads ‘protection from failure’. But in business and in working with customers and clients you MUST create an environment of belonging, trust and safety. Our new show focus is centering around CREATING amazing client experiences–and one of the K...

Client experiences should be more than just a transaction and ‘onboarding’. In fact, what goes IN a client experience IS what will help create REAL transformation.
