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!

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!
