    Episode 3: The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Deaf Customers | Starbucks Lesson | 5 in 5 Leadership

    What if I told you that your business is hemorrhaging money every single day through simple system gaps you don't even realize exist? As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), I've witnessed firsthand how businesses lose deaf customers through communication barriers they never track. At Starbucks with my mother, I saw a perfect example - they called her name for pickup, but she couldn't hear it. One simple gap that could cost thousands in lost customers and negative word-of-mouth. In this episode of 5 in 5, I'm revealing the exact hidden costs that are draining your profits: How to calculate lost transaction value from communication barriersWhy negative word-of-mouth in the deaf community costs exponentially moreThe replacement costs when deaf talent leaves due to accessibility barriersLegal and compliance risks that could devastate your bottom lineHow competitors gain market share while you lose deaf customersThis isn't just about serving the deaf community - it's about stopping profit leaks that most businesses never even measure.
