Instead, they're usually drowning in a sea of options, and it's up to brands to find ways to go beyond simply removing friction and bring back the joy in shopping.

We're going to talk a little about all of it.We are recording here at eTail Palm Springs, and hearing from leading brands and the platforms and companies they rely on to innovate in retail.

PhotoBizX The Ultimate Portrait and Wedding Photography Business Podcast
Everyone says, “Deliver a great experience.” Almost no one explains what that actually means. In this episode, I sit down with Julie Comfort — a former destination wedding photographer turned experience designer — to unpack what it really looks like to intentionally design how your clients feel from first enquiry to long after delivery. We talk about why most weddings (and client journeys) start to feel the same… how overwhelming first emails quietly lose bookings… why follow-up often wins the job… and how small, thoughtful touches can create more impact than expensive gifts. If you want easier sales, stronger referrals, and clients who rave about you — not just your photos — this conversation will shift how you think about your business. The post 656: Julie Comfort – Design a Client Experience People Can't Stop Talking About appeared first on Photography Business Xposed - Photography Podcast - how to build and market your portrait and wedding photography business.
If your clients are quietly disappearing, not giving testimonials, or not buying again, there is a deeply rooted problem we need to address. In this episode, I sit down with Emily Mathis to talk about outsourcing, but not in the way you think. We didn't talk about hiring editors, VAs, or handing off social media. We talked about the outsourcing you're probably ignoring: your client experience.Emily hasn't outsourced much in her own business, and that's exactly what makes her perspective powerful. Instead of defaulting to hiring help, she focuses on tightening the backend, improving delivery, and fixing what most business owners ignore: the messy middle.If you're always chasing new leads but ignoring the people already inside your container, this conversation might change how you grow your business.Mentioned in this EpisodeBreanna Owen: owenyourmark.comEpisode 256 with Breanna Owen: coliejames.com/using-human-design-to-transform-your-business-strategy-with-breanna-owenEpisode 224 with Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober: coliejames.com/how-the-enneagram-can-supercharge-your-self-awareness-with-ashton-whitmoyer-oberSystems in Session: coliejames.com/systems-in-sessionConnect with EmilyWebsite: emilymathis.coInstagram: instagram.com/emilymathis.co

But most of the time, it describes how a salon looks, not how it operates.In this episode, we break down what boutique actually means and why changing your aesthetic isn't enough to create a boutique experience. We talk about intentional client matching, curated services, smaller teams, stronger leadership, and why boutique salons aren't built to serve everyone.We also share lessons from rebuilding our own salon after the flood, how focusing on what you can control changes everything, and why protecting your culture, your team, and your client experience matters more than chasing buzzwords.A boutique salon isn't defined by plants, crystals, or décor.It's defined by clarity, standards, and intentional leadership.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.KEY TAKEAWAYSBoutique is an operating philosophy, not an aesthetic.You don't have to serve everyone to build a successful salon.Intentional client matching creates better outcomes.Smaller, curated teams create stronger alignment.Leadership clarity creates stability for staff.Systems should be designed intentionally, not copied.Protecting experience builds long-term loyalty.Buzzwords don't build businesses — structure does.Focus on what you can control and ignore the rest.Culture and intentionality define real boutique salons.TIME STAMPS00:00 — Opening + episode overview 01:00 — Jen's opening take: learning to release control 04:00 — Focus on what you can control 05:30 — The Bean Soup lesson explained 08:30 — Business update: rebuild timeline and return date 12:00 — The problem with salon buzzwords 13:00 — What boutique usually means vs what it should mean 15:30 — Boutique client experience and intentional matching 17:30 — Curated services and product selection 19:30 — Boutique teams vs large staff structures 22:00 — Culture, hiring, and alignment 24:00 — Leadership clarity and communication 26:30 — Systems built intentionally for your environment 28:30 — Protecting client experience over filling chairs 30:30 — Why not every client should be yours 32:00 — Closing thoughtsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Most agencies are stuck in the trap of "placing insurance" - chasing quotes, competing on price, and hoping for a renewal. But the agencies that are actually scaling have stopped selling products and started selling strategy. If you want to escape commoditization, you must make the shift from insurance broker to true risk advisor.My guest, Andy Bassett, CEO of Ellerbrock-Norris, joins me to explain exactly how they successfully made this transition.

Nobody talks about their diversified asset allocation at a dinner party, but they do talk about the tax strategy their advisor helped them implement to save thousands. In this episode, host Wes Young and co-host Justin Lakin dive deep into why most advisors are missing the boat on one of the biggest opportunities in holistic planning: proactive tax intelligence. You'll hear why tax strategy often falls in the “too hard” pile, how to shift from avoidance to opportunity, and what tools and frameworks you can use to bring immediate value to clients, without crossing compliance lines or becoming a CPA. Wes also shares a powerful mindset shift: when you start seeing the tax code as a playbook instead of a problem, you unlock a new level of client transformation and professional referability. What to expect from their conversation: Why most advisors avoid tax planning (and how to stand out if you don't) Tools like Holistiplan, narratives checklists, and Q4 strategy sessions Tips for integrating CPAs and navigating pushback with confidence Practical tax concepts to build referability and efficiency Resources: Submit your podcast question here!

Running a financial advisory firm often looks appealing from the outside: freedom, flexibility, and income potential. But the reality of being a true business owner requires an entirely different skill set. In this episode, Libby sits down with Hannah Moore to have an honest, vulnerable conversation about what it really takes to move from advisor to CEO, including the emotional, operational, and leadership challenges that often go unspoken ✨In this episode, you'll learn:Why owning a firm is fundamentally different from being a great financial advisor, and why most advisors are unprepared for that shiftHow Hannah navigated massive business transitions, including reducing her client base, growing two companies, and building a leadership teamWhat it actually looks like to delegate meaningful responsibilities like sales calls and client relationshipsHow ego, identity, and grief can quietly hold advisors back from scaling their firmsWhy self-awareness is one of the most important traits of successful advisors and CEOsThis episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn't come from doing more, but from letting go, building trust in your team, and stepping fully into the CEO role. If you're feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or stuck in the day-to-day, this conversation will help you see what's possible on the other side of intentional leadership.Find Hannah on LinkedIn HERE!Learn more about Amplified Planning HERE!Learn more about the Group Coaching & Mastermind HERE!

If you've ever wondered why design school didn't quite prepare you for the real world of interior design, you're not imagining it. I hear this all the time—from designers who invested years (and money) into a degree, and from those who skipped school altogether and worry they're already behind.The truth is, many of the skills required to run a successful interior design business are not taught in the classroom.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what actually matters once you leave school and step into real client work. These are the foundational skills that determine whether your business thrives or struggles. And no, they're not about picking the perfect sofa or designing custom furniture—although those matter too.My promise is simple: I want to help you identify the other skills you need to develop—skills that design school often overlooks—so you can create a strong foundation, run a profitable interior design business, and enjoy a sustainable, fulfilling career doing what you love.What You'll Learn in This Episode✔️ Why business skills are non-negotiable for residential interior designers✔️ How understanding pricing, margins, and markup protects your profitability✔️ What it really means to create a luxury client experience✔️ How technology, AI, and systems can support (not replace) your creativity✔️ Why branding and storytelling matter more than graphic design alone✔️ How leadership and decision-making shape client trust and confidence✔️ The personal skills that help designers manage time, overwhelm, and growthRead the Blog >>> 6 Skills Interior Designers Need That Design School Doesn't TeachNEXT STEPS:

Wedding photographer Jazmin Andrade joins the IDOIQ Podcast for her first podcast ever—with her husband Miguel along for moral support—and shares how a simple point-and-shoot gift turned into a full photography business. Jazmin talks through her path from early low-budget bookings to confidently charging what she's worth, how styled shoots and workshops helped her level up, and why she prioritizes customer experience as much as the photos themselves.They nerd out on favorite engagement photo locations around Northwest Arkansas (hello, Crystal Bridges and Tanyard Creek) and Jasmine's favorite venue to shoot (Horsehead Lake Lodge). Plus, they fire through a fun rapid-fire “this or that” wedding game—first looks, adults-only receptions, sparkler exits (hard pass), photo booths, ceremony timing, and whether couples should spend more on food or entertainment. If you're planning a wedding or hiring a photographer, this episode is a practical, funny, and encouraging look at what makes wedding photos feel real—and what makes vendors unforgettable.For More Info: https://www.jazminandrade.com/

Most wedding pros believe the client journey wraps up when the event is over, but in this episode, I'm breaking down why that mindset is leaving referrals, trust, and long-term growth on the table. I walk you through the entire client journey—from the very first website click and inquiry email, all the way to post-wedding follow-ups, reviews, and referrals that can fuel your business for years. We talk about why client experience is the marketing you don't have to pay for, and how intentional touchpoints can set you apart in an increasingly saturated market.I also share real, behind-the-scenes examples from my years as a planner—what actually worked, what I systemized, and how small but thoughtful moments created massive loyalty. From pre-booking communication and onboarding to gifting, check-ins, and offboarding, this episode is about designing a client experience that builds confidence, eases stress, and keeps you top of mind long after the wedding is over.

The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
In this episode, Libby sits down with Mando to unpack how financial advisors can intentionally use LinkedIn as a repeatable marketing and prospecting system. They dive into what actually works, what most advisors get wrong, and why consistency, clarity, and relevance matter far more than chasing the latest algorithm trend.

Most businesses don't stall before the sale, they stall after it. In today's episode, Lori continues the Client Journey Series with two stages that determine whether trust strengthens or disappears: Convert and Experience. Convert is not about convincing someone to buy. It's about stabilizing the decision, setting clear expectations, and helping a new client feel steady enough to move forward without second-guessing. Then Lori breaks down why Experience is not what you deliver, it's how your clients feel while working with you. When communication is clear and progress is acknowledged, clients feel safe, confident, and capable. When it's not, even strong results can feel disappointing. You'll also hear how these stages shift across the four business phases (Figure It Out, Work It Out, Rock It Out, Boss It Out) so you can design a process that creates momentum, referrals, and repeat business. What You'll Learn How to turn the post-sale moment into a trust-building orientation that prevents hesitation and drop-off How to design a client experience that reduces friction and increases retention and referrals How Convert and Experience should evolve based on your current stage of business growth Schedule your Profitable Path Blueprint call.

The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners

Client experience must be provided in the most convenient and fulfilling way, not only for clients themselves but also for the business owner.

She explains how she treats accountants and bookkeepers with utmost respect and closeness as she helps turn their goals into reality.

In this episode of Head, Heart, and Boots, Brandon and I dig into one of the most overlooked drivers of growth in service businesses: the client experience. Sparked by a frustrating real-world story, we unpack how even well-intentioned teams can slowly erode trust through poor communication, missed expectations, and a lack of follow-through - and why those failures compound over time. We talk candidly about how competition in restoration and home services is changing, why today's customers are more informed and more skeptical than ever, and how growth, PE-backed operators, and higher deductibles are raising the bar for professionalism across the industry. From engineering a client experience instead of relying on heroics, to setting expectations early, owning the hard parts of the process, and designing workflows that protect trust, this episode is a practical reminder that growth doesn't come from doing more work - it comes from doing the work better. If you're a business owner or leader trying to scale without sacrificing reputation, referrals, or sanity, this conversation is a must-listen. Hope you enjoy. Chris Why You Should Listen [00:02:45] How a single bad customer experience exposed the quiet ways service quality erodes - even inside well-run companies [00:06:09] Why growth, higher deductibles, and more sophisticated competitors are forcing service businesses to rethink how they win and retain clients [00:09:45] How poor communication and unmanaged expectations turn customers into project managers - and destroy trust in the process [00:18:08] Why engineering a client experience beats relying on individual heroics — and how workflows protect both customers and teams [00:29:27] How setting expectations early, telling clients the hard truths, and embracing friction can actually become your biggest competitive advantage Did you know... Only 30% of businesses listed for sale actually find a buyer? Even more striking, just 10% of those sell for the price their owners anticipated or higher, meaning only 3% of all business owners achieve their desired sale price. By focusing on understanding and enhancing your enterprise value, you can significantly boost your chances of joining that successful 3%.

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life.
