Podcasts about clients

If 2026 is the year you want to go from fully in-person to either a hybrid model or fully online, you can't miss this episode. I want to share with you some advice I recently gave inside of IFCA to a trainer looking to go online but hesitant and some valid concerns. This episode will help you break your limiting beliefs and show you why going online is far more valuable for your clients and you.   Time Stamps:   (0:49) Recent Webinar Example (2:18) Your Clients Ultimately Want The Result (5:07) The Position of Power (7:38) Hybrid Next Step Pitch (9:25) Breaking Limiting Beliefs ---------- "The Three Steps To Transition From In-Person to Online Training WITHOUT Sacrificing Results & Quality" ----------

neuroscientist, former CMO, and author of Make Me Great, for an engaging conversation that redefines productivity from the inside out. Thomas shares his unconventional journey from artificial intelligence and neuroscience into marketing, leadership, and ethical persuasion, revealing how his early work in neuromarketing delivered results but ultimately felt incomplete without a human-centered approach. At the heart of the conversation is one powerful insight: when someone is making a decision, their brain is silently asking, "Make me great." Thomas explains how primal, subconscious forces drive our choices long before logic kicks in, and why people rationalize decisions only after they've already been made. He breaks down concepts like silent listening, subconscious frustration, and why talking about features, products, or credentials too early actually pushes people away. You'll also hear memorable real-world examples showing how simply paying attention, asking better questions, and listening without interruption can instantly change outcomes in business and in everyday life. The discussion expands into purpose, personal "why," and how building tribes around shared values accelerates productivity while reducing wasted effort. This episode is a powerful reminder that productivity isn't just about systems and structure. It's about empathy, intention, and making others feel seen, heard, and valued.

Try to use 'you, you, you.' It's a super powerful tool. It's the first step to get them to say, 'He cares about me"– Thomas Trautmann   Resources   Dr. Thomas Trautmann Website: make-me-great.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thomastrautmann Book – Make Me Great   Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com   Gerald J.

What does "professional" pet care actually mean—and why does it matter so much right now? Collin sits down with Niki Tudge, founder of the Pet Professional Guild, to talk about the gap between what pet owners assume they're buying and what many providers actually deliver. Niki shares the eye-opening real-life process she used to hire a pet sitter for her own dogs—and why it convinced her the industry needs higher minimum standards. Together, they discuss practical ways to educate clients, set non-negotiables, and document care like it truly matters. The conversation ends with a challenge: raise your standards, raise your confidence, and build a business that protects pets, clients, and your team. Main topics: Minimum standards in pet care Client education and expectations Intake assessments and documentation Pet first aid readiness Collaboration and referral networks Main takeaway: "My minimum level of care for every dog or cat… is the same as if it was my own animal" That idea challenges a lot of the shortcuts our industry has quietly accepted over the years. If it wouldn't be acceptable for your dog or cat, it shouldn't be acceptable for a client's—no matter the schedule, price point, or pressure to say yes. This mindset forces clarity. It defines non-negotiables around safety, supervision, documentation, enrichment, and medical awareness. It also gives you the confidence to say no when a service request would compromise an animal's wellbeing. When pet care professionals operate from this standard, trust becomes automatic. Clients may not understand every protocol, but they feel the difference—and that's what builds sustainable, ethical businesses in the long run. About our guest: Niki Tudge is the founder of the Pet Professional Guild and a long-time leader in pet care education and professional standards. After a career in business and operations, she transitioned into the pet industry through training, pet care services, and building scalable systems. She has owned and operated multiple pet-focused businesses, including an animal hospital and boarding facility, and is passionate about improving welfare, ethics, and competency across the entire pet care community. Her work focuses on education, collaboration, and raising minimum standards for anyone handling pets professionally.

Tune in for an engaging discussion about art, creativity, and the tattooing process that includes a cozy atmosphere that Jen ensures for her clients. Listeners are encouraged to check out Jen's captivating work on Instagram (@jentonic) while enjoying this insightful discussion about art, creativity, and the tattooing experience. Chat Highlights: [00:03:01] Early influences in art. [00:04:44] Finding a tattoo apprenticeship. [00:09:04] Being a woman in tattooing. [00:18:27] Pain management during tattoo sessions. [00:19:20] Client comfort during tattooing. [00:30:10] Finding balance in tattooing. [00:32:46] Expressing art through looseness. [00:39:37] Tattoo trends in modern culture.

[00:57:45] Tattoo career dedication.   Quotes:   "I really want him to lay down be like oh this is actually kind of nice and comfy so okay like maybe I can sit through this."   "I always wanted to have my own style... I want it to be recognizable."   "I almost didn't get the apprenticeship because there was one guy in the shop who didn't want a woman in the shop."   "I think the big thing there is with Instagram, and just the internet in general, it's kind of like evens the playing field."   "These little creature comforts send a message and the message is I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to make beautiful art with you."   "I've realized that it's okay to also have other things going on that basically give me more energy so I don't burn out on my job as a tattooer."   "Tattooing does not only exist within perfect lines, I think."   "I suspect this, and Scott Campbell, really smart tattooer from Los Angeles, brought this up to me, and I think he's right: people can express themselves now through their social content."   "I don't think anyone's going to end up with a thriving tattoo career that doesn't give it everything they've got in those early years."

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)Trust accelerates the work. That simple idea sits at the heart of our conversation with betrayal trauma specialist and DCA-certified ADR divorce coach, Christina Riley, as we explore why representation isn't a tagline—it's a performance driver in divorce coaching and mediation. Clients don't arrive as blank slates; they bring history, stress responses, and a relationship to systems that can either inflame or calm conflict. When cultural understanding is present from the start, the nervous system settles and the coaching room turns from explanation into strategy.We talk candidly about the access gap at the entry point: why many people in underrepresented communities delay support not because they don't need it, but because they're unsure the space will be safe or relevant. That delay has costs—escalated conflict, higher expenses, and harder-to-repair ruptures. Christina shares how Black clients intentionally seek coaches who share lived experience to reduce emotional labor, build early trust, and gain the clarity needed for mediation, parenting plans, and settlement conversations. The payoff is practical and immediate: clearer goals, stronger boundaries, and a sharper distinction between what genuinely matters and what's merely emotionally loud.We also examine the profession's responsibility. Neutrality doesn't demand sameness. Competence includes cultural literacy, rigorous standards, and ethical practice that adapts to reality without diluting quality. Training organizations like Divorce Coaches Academy can widen the pipeline while maintaining high bars through mentorship, community, and honest conversations about barriers. Lived experience is not a liability; paired with strong training, it's a lens that improves outcomes across ADR.If you care about early intervention, reduced conflict, and durable agreements, this conversation is an invitation to build inclusion thoughtfully and on purpose. Listen, share with someone who needs to hear it, and subscribe to stay part of a community shaping a more effective, accessible divorce coaching field.Connect with Christina at Christina Riley Coaching here: christinariley.comNot yet a DCA Certified Divorce Coach?

Monty L. Cain is the owner and managing attorney at Cain Law Injury Attorneys, based in Oklahoma City. With nearly 30 years of trial experience, he specializes in personal injury litigation, with a focus on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and trucking accidents, and has recovered over $100 million in verdicts and settlements for clients. Monty is widely recognized for his appellate win in Fox v. Mize, which expanded negligent-entrustment claims against unsafe commercial carriers—reshaping how trucking cases are tried in Oklahoma and beyond. In this episode, Monty shares how he treats law like customer service, retooling intake, and training his team to spot mild TBI patterns; he uncovered value hiding in plain sight. On trucking files, he goes past the driver to expose carrier‑level failures—and he helped cement the right to bring those claims in Oklahoma courts. The result: more signed cases, stronger case value, and referrals that snowball.

Clients often don't fully realize the depth of value their advisory team provides—unless that value is clearly articulated and demonstrated throughout the year. This episode explores how a thoughtfully designed client service calendar can both strengthen client retention and increase new client conversions by making financial planning and tax strategy more visible and tangible. Debra Taylor serves as Managing Partner of Carson Wealth Franklin Lakes, a practice within the RIA Carson Wealth that manages $500 million in AUM for 120 client households. Listen in as Debra shares how she built a seasonal client service calendar to clearly communicate her team's year-round value, from tax letters and Roth conversion planning to estate strategy and investment deep dives. You'll hear how placing tax and distribution planning at the center of the client experience has generated measurable savings for her clients, how video explanations and structured service delivery reduce pressure during meetings, and how the calendar itself strengthens retention by helping clients see exactly what they're paying for.

Apply to become an exclusive “Freedom…Me!” Client:https://coachingwithdrheidi.com/freedom-me-exclusive-private-coachingIn this episode, Dr. Heidi explores the concept of the 'glass house' as a metaphor for the toxic personality's fragile self-image. She discusses the role of the 'chief editor' who manages the narrative to protect this image, the unpredictability of toxic behaviors, and the intense need to be right that drives these individuals. The conversation emphasizes understanding these dynamics to regain personal power and clarity in relationships with toxic individuals.Here is the link to Dr Heidi's other podcast: Fak'n Tiredhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0IGMxKcGNPOPDQMrCmfs8a?si=pYah9QsXTduaaGOEUzsCTATake the Toxicity Profile Analysishttps://coachingwithdrheidi.com/toxicity-analysis

This episode walks coaches through one of the most important pieces of client education Active Life uses: load versus capacity. Larry teaches the concept exactly as he would to a real client, using simple language, analogies, and a whiteboard explanation that makes complex biomechanics easy to understand.  Listeners will hear how anatomical history, recovery, and functional ability stack together before life stress and training are even added. The conversation shows coaches how pain isn't mysterious or random—it's what happens when total load exceeds current capacity, often at the worst possible moment.  The episode finishes by reframing the coach's job: not just shrinking the “boxes,” but raising the capacity line itself through intelligent programming. If you've ever struggled to explain pain, setbacks, or inconsistent progress to clients, this episode gives you a repeatable framework you can use immediately.

If you're showing up consistently in your business but still not seeing the traction you deserve, this episode is for you. Today, Lori walks you through two critical stages of your client journey: Engage and Invite  -  the bridge between curiosity and commitment. You'll discover why engagement isn't about likes or views, but about readiness, connection, and trust. Lori shares how to shift from simply creating content to actually guiding your audience toward a next step  -  without feeling pushy or "salesy." She also breaks down the four business stages  -  Figure It Out, Work It Out, Rock It Out, and Boss It Out  -  and how engagement looks different at each level. You'll learn why clarity beats persuasion, and how a clear invitation can turn effort into real momentum. Lessons Learned Engagement is a filter, not a goal. Clarity beats persuasion every time.

Clients don't know what they need until you show them—and when you don't engage that conversation, you leave both value and profit behind. Designers often miss additional profit opportunities inside projects where they are already doing the work. From door hardware and window treatments to art and beyond, designers are already making the decisions, solving the problems, and guiding the outcome, yet stop short of selling those services.Additional profit centers aren't about trying to get more money out of a client. They are a natural extension of full-service design and a strategic way to stabilize revenue when the market shifts. These services create smoother projects, better collaboration with trades, and stronger outcomes for clients.Have a question--click here to ask us.RESOURCE LINKS:Damn Good Workshops - WebsiteIntroducing Damn Good Workshops - New 2026 schedule coming soon!These workshops are 2–3 hour deep dives (some more than one day) built for creative entrepreneurs who want to lead with confidence, price with authority, and grow with intention.

Welcome to another episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast with Pat Iyer, where today we dive headfirst into one of the most challenging aspects of the legal nurse consulting profession—dealing with difficult clients. Have you ever picked up the phone only to be met with immediate pushback from a potential attorney client about your fees or contract terms? You're not alone. In this episode, Pat Iyer unpacks the common types of challenging clients—dictators, negotiators, and tire kickers—and explores the subtle ways these interactions can erode your confidence and business if not handled with care. Through practical stories, such as Cassandra's negotiation misstep, Pat Iyer illustrates how easily the need to please can lead consultants into patterns of compromise that ultimately undermine their worth. She reveals the warning signs of toxic clients, the real costs—financial and emotional—of accommodating unreasonable demands, and most importantly, the mindset shift required to protect your business. Listeners will gain actionable steps for handling conflict, establishing firm boundaries, and knowing when it's time to walk away from an unhealthy professional relationship. With clear strategies for professional communication, documentation, and system improvements, Pat Iyer empowers legal nurse consultants to transition from a place of fear and guilt to one of confidence and control. If you're ready to cultivate a client base that respects your expertise and safeguards the health of your consulting practice, this episode delivers the tools and insights you need to transform client challenges into opportunities for lasting success. What you'll learn in this episode is how legal nurse consultants can handle challenging clients and protect their business Here are five intriguing questions that this podcast episode answers: How can legal nurse consultants spot red flags and identify toxic attorney clients early on? What steps should consultants take to effectively handle conflict with attorneys who challenge their fees or value? Why do legal nurse consultants sometimes give in to unreasonable client demands, and how can they change this pattern? What boundaries and systems can consultants implement to prevent problems with challenging clients? How does letting go of toxic clients open opportunities for better, more respectful professional relationships?

This conversation is for every freelance designer, brand and web designer, and design business owner who wants to attract better clients, price with confidence, and build a business that lasts.You will learn:Why AI will replace low level execution but not strategic designersHow to position yourself so clients see you as an expert, not a task takerWhat clients actually look for when hiring in 2026How simplicity in offers and systems leads to higher incomeWhy strategy is the skill clients pay for and how to start using itGrab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to rethink how you approach how to get graphic design clients, pricing design services, and stepping fully into the creative CEO role.Aventive Academy's Resources:From Crickets to Clients: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/crickets-to-clients/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠$12k Client Attraction Masterclass: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/attract-clients-workshop/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Client Portal for Designers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/client-portal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Wealthy Client Blueprint: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/wealthy-client/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mockup Magic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/mockup-magic/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Brand Guidelines Template: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/brand-guidelines/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 12-Week Business Program for Designers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/profit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join My Weekly Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventive-academy.ck.page/0fc86a336f⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Creative CEO Accelerator: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/accelerator⁠⁠⁠

I used to work 70 hours a week. Grinding to make 30-40K/ month. I used to wonder how I'd ever have a family AND the life that I wanted. In the 3-4 years before having my son… I figured it out. I was able to scale from 40K to 140K/month and I went from working 70 hours a week in that business to 4 hours a week in that business. Delegation and leadership played a part but the BIGGEST difference was learning how to increase LTV of every single client that came into my coaching (so I could work with LESS clients and make MORE money) and that's what I want to talk to you about today.  We'll talk about what LTV actually looks like, what you need before you start running ads, how to not make the same mistake I made that costs me 6 figures, and more!   Time Stamps:   (0:45) 70 Hours A Week When I First Started (2:07) Increasing LTV (5:25) Upcoming January 4th Workshop (5:50) The Mistake That Costed Me Multiple 6 Figures (10:57) The Backend Offer (12:05) LTV and Ads (12:50) Your Offer (13:59) My Maturity Leave ----------

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you thinking about expanding your agency through acquisitions? Buying another firm can be one of the fastest ways to scale, but only if you choose the right partners and nail the cultural fit. Otherwise, growth can quickly turn into chaos. Today's featured guest has been through five acquisitions, each one teaching her a different (and sometimes painful) lesson about what truly makes a merger succeed. In this episode, she opens up about her biggest acquisition missteps, the cultural mismatches that nearly derailed integrations, forecasting errors she didn't see coming, and the identity challenges that arise when two teams collide. Kimberly Eberl is the Founder and CEO of The Motion Agency, a full service marketing and communications shop with offices in Chicago, Cincinnati, and Nashville. While the agency offers everything from creative to content, it is unusually strong in public relations with roughly 20 PR pros on staff. Kimberly has completed five acquisitions, navigated the cultural and financial highs and lows of M&A, and grown Motion into one of the most respected independent agencies in the Chicago market. In this episode, we'll discuss: When acquisitions help agencies scale—and when they backfire. Lessons learned from five agency acquisitions. Why agency owners often misjudge valuation and earnouts.

From Fired Account Director to Agency Founder Kimberly jokes that she is one of those founders who got fired into entrepreneurship. At her previous agency, the account director role was undefined and impossible to succeed in. The revolving door should have been a clue. She lasted a year before being let go and scrambling to figure out her next move. With no grand plan, she fell into freelancing in 2006. The economy was healthy. The demand came fast. And pretty quickly she reached that moment every accidental agency owner hits. Either say no to work or hire help. She chose to hire. That early decision set the tone for the next decade. Instead of trying to do it all herself, she leaned into building a team and letting the business grow past her personal capacity. Outgrowing a Single-Service Model: Moving Beyond One Specialty Kimberly started as a PR pro. That focus worked for a while, but eventually she noticed how much money she was leaving on the table. Clients wanted websites, creative, content, and she was constantly referring the work away. The big shift happened when she decided to expand beyond PR and bring more capabilities in-house. This meant hiring outside her comfort zone and learning how to oversee work she could not personally do. That decision opened the door to real growth. Many agency owners get stuck right there. They stay in their one specialty because it is safe. Kimberly pushed through that discomfort and built a service mix clients actually wanted. The Reality of Acquiring Another Agency: Lessons from 5 Acquisitions Kimberly opted to add these new services through acquisitions. So far, she has completed five and every one had a different lesson. Her first major acquisition was bold. She bought an agency twice the size of her own. Financially and emotionally, it was a lot. Looking back, she admits she may not do a deal that large again, especially in a specialty she did not personally understand. But she also learned that size does not determine complexity. A one-person agency with contractors had just as many integration headaches as a larger shop. What mattered most was agency culture. Some deals looked perfect on paper but fell apart because the values, expectations, and behaviors did not align. One deal in particular was financially great and culturally awful. She kept one client from that acquisition. Another deal was financially terrible but culturally perfect. Years later, most of those staff members are still with her. Her biggest warning: never ignore cultural red flags during the courting phase. Take time to hang out with the sellers, how they operate, and experience their company's culture. Go to dinner, Travel together. You'll notice small behaviors (snapping over minor problems, chronic lateness, lack of transparency) that won't disappear after the contract is signed. Valuation Mistakes That Kill Good Deals Kimberly also dove into how she approaches valuations and why so many sellers get this part wrong. She focuses on future performance, realistic forecasts, and removing costs that will not continue after the sale. She also pushes back on inflated projections. If an owner claims revenue will double, the earnout should reflect that. Big promises are fine, but they should come with big accountability. One agency she walked away from wanted a valuation equal to twice their gross revenue. They were using cash-based accounting and ignoring profitability. It was an immediate red flag. Kimberly's advice to owners is simple. Build a business that is sellable even if you never plan to sell. Get your financials clean. Use accrual accounting. And be realistic about your numbers. Leadership, Loyalty, and the Hardest Skill — Letting Go As the agency scaled, leadership challenges became just as complex as financial ones. Kimberly admits she is confused about why she is the largest woman-owned agency in Chicago at only seventy people. She is proud of the title, but she wonders why more women are not reaching similar scale. There are no differences in capability, but many female founders still hit a ceiling often tied to loyalty, delegation, or difficulty letting people go. Some owners, especially women, treat their team like family and struggle to make hard decisions around performance. She admitted she has been loyal to a fault at times and is working on finding a healthy balance. Agencies function more like all star sports teams. The roster changes every year. People get promoted, moved, or sometimes released. That does not mean you failed. It means you are adapting so the team as a whole can win. Kimberly is even working on building hobbies outside her agency because she noticed how much of her identity was tied to work. It is a relatable struggle for founders who have poured years into their companies. AI Changes the Work, Not the Need for Agencies Let's be clear, agencies are not going away because of AI. Kimberly certainly doesn't believe that. She treats AI like an intern. Helpful. Fast. But still needing quality control, creativity, and leadership. Clients still want real relationships. They want someone who understands context and nuance. Agencies serving tech-savvy individuals will feel churn from AI, but agencies serving plumbers, service-based businesses, and non marketers will be fine. These clients want to stay in their lane and hire experts for everything else. Marketing evolves, but agencies survive because the business model adapts.

299: Year-End Wrap Up: Creating Margin in Life and Business Joining me today on the podcast is Ceil DiGuglielmo, host of the Sew Much More podcast and owner of the Curtains and Soft Furnishings Resource Library. Every year, Ceil and I sit down for an end-of-year business catch-up to talk honestly about what worked, what didn't, and what we've learned. We ask each other thoughtful, leading questions to get a real glimpse into work, life, balance, and how all of those pieces fit together. Our hope is that as you listen, you'll reflect on your own year and maybe ask yourself some of the same questions. This year, we spent a lot of time discussing what it means to create space and margin in our lives—and the importance of checking in with ourselves rather than looking to a book, a podcast, AI, or anything else for the answers. It's about learning to hear ourselves think again. Topics Mentioned: Margin in our calendar and business Client Expectations Retirement and Work-Life Balance Embracing Wisdom Key Thoughts:  Family changes impact life and work. Client expectations are changing - wanting more for less. Clearing physical and digital clutter allows better focus. What are we building towards - what does retirement mean? Intentional time management is crucial to balance. Goal for 2026 is more time (margin) to think and process information. With the rise of AI we need to be careful not to outsource all of our thinking. Striving to be a cheerleader for everyone.   Contact Michele: Email: Team@ScarletThreadConsulting.com Facebook: Scarlet Thread Consulting Instagram: @ScarletThreadATL Website: ScarletThreadConsulting.com LinkedIn: Michele Williams   Contact Ceil: Email: ceilwdi@gmail.com The Curtains and Soft Furnishings Resource Library Podcast: Sew Much More Learn to Choose Window Coverings

THE PROSECUTION OF VERRES Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero takes on the corruption trial of Gaius Verres, the governor of Sicily who looted art and money from the province. Although Cicero usually defended clients to earn favors, he prosecuted Verres to align with political shifts demanding reform. Verres was backed by the Senateestablishment and Sulla's followers, making Cicero's move a bold attack by an outsider against a "crooked establishment" to cleanse the government.
