Funnels: What They Are, Where They Came From, and Why Most Are Built Backward

A funnel is not a website. It’s not a single email. It’s not an overpriced software platform someone tried to sell you in a webinar. It’s the journey someone takes from “Who are you?” → “This is interesting...” → “I need this in my life” → “Take my money.”

Why You Should Use Hello Audio to Create a Private Podcast Feed for Clients

There are 2 main things that every service provider strives to do:

Perform your services amazingly.
Give your clients an even more amazing experience working with you.

Unfortunately, number 2 falls short way too often for so many service-based business owners. Even though you’re the bomb at what you do, it isn’t just about your skill set when it comes to working with clients. You could be the #1 service provider in your industry, but if there’s someone else whose services are above par yet they always provide a phenomenal experience for their clients, they’re going to get the most business.

It all comes down to simple science-- humans like to feel good. They like to be happy and have positive experiences. It doesn’t always matter if the work is perfect, it’s how they felt during that process.

We love to go all-in when it comes to providing exceptional, VIP client experiences. And one of those ways is by harnessing the power of a private podcast using Hello Audio.

If that sounds totally wacky, keep reading to find out why it’s actually a great idea, plus some tips and ideas for how you can implement a private podcast in your business!

How to Use Testimonials to Attract Your Dream Clients

Client testimonials are the proof in the pudding to potential clients about how amazing you are. You need to be able to back up your claims of being able to achieve XYZ results for your clients and the wonderful experience you provide. Not only do they serve as a diverse marketing asset that you can repurpose in numerous ways, but they’re also like hanging those sticky fly traps.

The fact of the matter is that dreamy clients know other dreamy clients. As soon as you land who you consider a dream client, you have to use that person and their testimonial for every referral or potential client that you can because you’ll get even more like-minded clients from them.

So in what ways can you use testimonials to signal more dream clients that they should work with you?

3 Easy Ways to Make New Clients Feel Valued

There are essentially two sides to every service-based business: 1) The actual delivery of the services, and 2) The client experience. Even if you can perform your services exceptionally well and get your clients amazing results, making sure your clients feel valued is equally as crucial. There’s no better time to start than from the very beginning.

By making new clients feel valued, you’re ensuring that they actually enjoyed working with you. They can enjoy the results your work brought them, but you’re less likely to receive a great testimonial, repeat business, or referrals if they didn’t feel like their experience was a positive one.

So to avoid all of that, we’re here to show you three extremely easy and effective ways to make new clients feel valued!

How to Automate and Personalize Your Client Experience Using Dubsado

As a service provider whose calendar is quickly filling to the brim, it’s imperative to find ways to free up space so that you can feel less stressed and overwhelmed, plus have more time to take care of your clients. The key method of getting back as much time as possible is automation.

Automation, quite simply, is when you put certain tasks or processes on autopilot in your business. (Personally, any and everything that’s able to be automated, we automate it.) These tasks either completely run on their own, or they require extremely little effort from you to make it happen.
