Have you ever heard the advice to "Charge what you're worth"? It sounds good in theory, but what happens when your client experience doesn't align with the price tag? It can lead to challenges in attracting and retaining clients. In this episode, the inspiration came from my own experience with a service provider who overpromised and underdelivered. Feeling undervalued and frustrated, I realized I could've invested my money more wisely – like a trip to Bali for a better experience at a similar price.
But rather than dwell on the disappointment, I turned it into a learning opportunity. Join me today as I reveal how I've upgraded my backend systems and processes to ensure my clients never endure the same frustration. Let's dive in!
