Just how easy (or hard) do you make it for you customers to work with you?
On this week's TBOA, Rochelle and I talk about just how easy you should make it for clients to work with you.
Talking Points
- Putting up hurdles for clients can be a good idea, but only if they're intentional
- The types of product sales that should be frictionless, and the ones that shouldn't
- When to require that clients jump through hoops
- How to know when your marketing and sales processes are attracting the wrong kind of people
- What to do when money and trust are not enough to get a client to make a change
- What if your clients have a problem that they're embarrassed to ask for help with?
