I break down what I've learned from some seriously smart finance people (not from watching the news), and explain how this stuff could affect your clients and your business.But most importantly—I'm sharing exactly what we did at Gabriele Fitness to drop our attrition rate to 1.5%. That's the lowest it's ever been. I'm talking real strategies, real results—no fluff. If you're trying to keep your members happy, showing up, and not canceling, you'll want to hear this one. Top 5 Key PointsFocus on What You Can Actually ControlYou can't control the economy, politics, or what China does. But you can control your fitness, your food, your time, your team—and how hard you work. Do that.Fear is in the Air—That Affects SpendingTariffs are creating uncertainty, and uncertainty makes people think twice before spending money. If your clients feel unsure, your gym could end up on the chopping block—unless you show them you're worth every penny.Keep What You've GotWhen it gets harder to bring in new leads, your best bet is to double down on the clients you already have. Our motto: Operation: Don't Lose Anybody. That's how we cut attrition to 1.5%.Add Real Value (Not More Sessions)Personalization, connection, and community win. Automated birthday emails don't cut it. We did stuff like personalized holiday videos and ran an epic March Madness event just for members. That's what people actually care about.Don't Be Afraid to Lead HardWhen someone tries to cancel or go on hold, challenge them. Remind them why they started. People are secretly begging to be led—especially in times like these. Be the leader they're looking for. Want a fresh set of eyes on your business?

This is a story that will cost a cleaning supplier a lot of money. First of all, I hope you all know me by now. I am not vindictive. I did not have a bad experience with the company I'm going to mention. However, I chose to do my 3-stars out of 5 review to the world because it will illustrate a vital lesson on the lifetime value of a client. I purchased my Mosquito Carbon Lite vacuum cleaner from my friend Joshua Burnstein, owner of Sawgrass Cleaning Solutions, Boynton Beach, FL. Joshua is a authorized distributor for Mosquito, which he does as a side hustle. I now use him exclusively to take care of my vacuum needs. But I almost didn't and here's what happened.My Mosquito has a uniquely designed tapered hose to maximize power and flow for my 160 cfm motor! That's nerd talk, but it means my vacuum really sucks! All of my hoses start to wear down after 2 years. They tear between the ribs and I have to cut a piece off to keep it working. This particular hose has been cut a dozen times to the point where it's barely long enough to vacuum with. I put off ordering a new part from Josh as he told me the replacement part is $100 with shipping! When I could wait no longer, I did a Google search to see if I could get the part cheaper anywhere else. There were a few at $100 and one at $45, which ranked high on Google SEO. It seemed like a reputable supplier, Salamone Supplies out of Menomonee Falls, WI. I researched the company and found the part I needed on the website for a great price. I told Josh and he was highly suspicious as he knew the part wholesaled for $80 on the low side. He wished me good luck. I apologized for jumping ship as I had to try. I ordered the part. To the credit of the company, they contacted me via email and was kind and cordial in their replies. They received the order, but soon realized that they had the two parts mixed up on their website. The part I ordered for $45 had the part number and picture correct for the part I needed, but they had the wrong price listed. They emailed me to let me know of the mistake and asked if I'd like to receive the $45 incorrect part or the part I needed for their price of $90 + shipping. Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School podcast

Send us a textIn part two, the gloves come off. Kevin and Roman dive into the chaos of defining impact across diverse teams with Matt LeMay. From freemium metrics to ROI confusion, Matt exposes why so many organizations fail to align on what "impact" actually means. This episode is your backstage pass to better collaboration and smarter goal setting.Detailed Analysis: Episode 38 tackles the messy business of misaligned metrics. Matt shares how product teams often assume they understand impact—only to find marketing, customer success, and sales have completely different definitions. The result? Disjointed strategies and missed opportunities.Matt calls for radical alignment: teams should set goals no more than one step removed from company-level objectives. This not only surfaces tension between teams (think lifetime value vs. new users) but creates a dialogue for harmonizing objectives. Collaboration isn't optional; it's the secret weapon.The episode also zooms out, showing that Matt's framework applies far beyond product. Marketing, customer success, even sales can use the same approach to rethink how they measure success. This isn't just a methodology. It's a mindset shift. If your goals live in the middle zone of vagueness, it's time to bridge the gap between strategy and execution.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookCheck out https://funnelstory.ai/ for more details about Funnelstory.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Marissa Seeley, co-founder of By Design Physio, a physiotherapy business based in Hobart, Australia, providing high-quality physiotherapy services with an emphasis on personalised care, injury rehabilitation, and ongoing physical wellness built around consistency in team culture and service delivery, ensuring that every client receives a top-tier experience.   Other Resources: Marketing Funding Flywheel eBook Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here.   Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: 1. What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business?   One of the hardest things in growing a small business is scaling without losing quality or company culture. Finding and retaining the right people is a major challenge, as is managing cash flow during rapid growth. Additionally, the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship can be difficult to navigate.   2. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most?   One of Marissa's favorite business book is The Code of the Extraordinary Mind by Vishen Lakhiani. It talks about the 12 elements of life. And if you can fill all of the buckets, then you'll feel whole, which is really nice.   3. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business?   Marissa says “Build with Leila Hormozi”is always in her ears all the time. She says it is very helpful to anyone that has staff because she simplifies all concepts into manageable, bite sized pieces that you can apply literally that day, so that you're not just listening, you're actually applying.   4. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business?   One of the most effective tools for growing a small business is leveraging Google Reviews and SEO to improve online visibility. Customer relationship management (CRM) software like HubSpot or ActiveCampaign can help manage customer interactions and automate marketing. Automation tools like Zapier can streamline operations and save time by connecting different apps and services.   5. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business?   If I could give myself advice on day one, I would emphasize the importance of focusing on building systems rather than just working hard. Patience is key—success doesn't happen overnight, and consistent effort pays off in the long run. Networking and building relationships early on can open doors to new opportunities. Lastly, keeping a close eye on finances from the beginning can prevent many future challenges. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

Quotable quotes from our special Grow A Small Business podcast guest:   “Growth isn't just about numbers—it's about building a team and culture that delivers consistently, every single day.” - Marissa Seeley   “Google Reviews became one of our biggest game-changers. We didn't just rely on word of mouth; we made sure potential clients could see real results before they even walked through the door.” - Marissa Seeley   “The best investment we made wasn't just in marketing or operations—it was in ourselves. Learning from mentors and refining our leadership changed everything.” - Marissa Seeley

Could your digital business benefit from more physical marketing? Mark Stern is reimagining direct mail with experiential boxes designed to set your customers up for success and extend lifetime value.  Mark is a serial entrepreneur and founder of the Custom Box Agency, a design agency that specializes in optimizing the customer journey through direct mail. His innovative work caught the attention of Forbes, which featured him as one of the Next 1,000 Entrepreneurs redefining the American Dream. He was also highlighted in Joey Coleman's Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Never Lose an Employee Again. Before embarking on his entrepreneurial path, Stern was a top-ranked strategy consultant at Deloitte Consulting, the world's largest consulting firm. He is an MBA graduate from Duke University. Stern is also a six-time Spartan Trifecta holder and serves as a mentor at South by Southwest (SXSW), guiding up-and-coming startups.  Connecting the Digital to the Physical The idea for the Custom Box Agency was born out of Mark's experience buying online courses. After spending $2,000+ on a course, he was left to print out the workbook or go to the store to track down what he needed to get started. Oftentimes, he didn't end up starting at all. He began to wonder how course creators could better set their students up for success–beyond simply sending swag with the company logo. When Mark started shipping out his boxes, the idea immediately caught on. People shared unboxing videos and became unofficial ambassadors and salespeople for the business. In the first year, Custom Box Agency grew from zero to a million dollars in revenue, all through organic word-of-mouth. The 3 Customer Journeys One key aspect of Mark's custom box business is tailoring the boxes to the customer journey. There are three different types of journeys throughout the customer lifecycle: acquisition, delivery, and retention. And within those journeys, there are multiple steps. On the acquisition journey, prospects might discover you through social media, SEO, or in-person events. After someone finds you, you don't necessarily want to pitch them right away–those are cold leads. So you might nurture them through case studies, demos, or free content to build more of a relationship with them. From there, you have to close them as a customer. What does the point of sale look like?  After someone buys your product, you need to take them from onboarding to delivering the value you promised. Retention involves recognizing your clients. How do you celebrate them when they hit a milestone or introduce the next way that you can serve them? If someone goes through one journey, the question is, what's next?  Enjoy this episode with Mark Stern… Soundbytes 5:57-6:22 “If you have something digital, you need something physical to complement it. And now, in this day and age, where it's becoming even more relevant, is the rise of AI. We have so much digital content being pumped into the system. When we think about experience, design experiences seen through the senses, everything digital is only what you see and hear. A podcast is what you hear, YouTube is what you see and hear, and Facebook scrolling is what you see. I can activate the kinesthetic, touch, taste, and smell.” 13:28-13:42 “Recognition is huge. How do I celebrate you and see you when you hit a milestone or introduce the next way that I can serve you? So when we think about journey stacking, if people get through one journey, the question is, what's next? And that becomes the retention play. How do I extend the relationship and extend lifetime value?”  25:32-25:57 “How are we thinking about the programs we're creating, and are we engineering a replayable story? And we should be. The example I tell course creators and coaches all the time is, have you ever played a song and then six months later, listened to the song again and it had a new meaning? Or have you ever watched a movie and then years later, watched it again and it was a completely different experience? That's because we evolve.”  Quotes “It started this idea of, if you have something digital, you need something physical to compliment it.” “We went from zero to a million in the first year via word of mouth, just because we had a unique perspective on how can we truly set people up for success.” “Swag means stuff without a goal. Stop sending people stuff. Truly engineer the things that they need to be set up for success.” “People love getting surprises in the mail.”  “As an entrepreneur, it's important that we hold a bigger vision for our people than they hold for themselves.”  Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://customboxagency.com/ Connect with Mark Stern on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marustern/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

About a decade ago, we partnered with Drs. Adrian Sargeant and Jin Chang to sponsor their research on relationship fundraising. On this episode of the Go Beyond Fundraising podcast, Allegiance Group + Pursuant's Chief Strategy Officer, Trent Ricker, revisits that research to see what lessons still hold — and where there's room to grow. With donor acquisition and retention becoming more challenging, nonprofits must move beyond transactional fundraising and forge deeper connections with their supporters. By doing so, they can build long-term support and boost their donors' lifetime value. This conversation explores how relationship fundraising helps nonprofits increase donor loyalty and longevity, retain more supporters, and attract younger generations. We also share strategies fundraisers can use to turn one-time transactions into long-standing relationships with donors who care about your cause. Want a deeper dive?

What's driving the next wave of influence in Fashion & Beauty marketing?  Earned Media Value.  It's the metric brands can't stop talking about, for good reason.  Conor Begley (Chief Strategy Officer @ CreatorIQ) is here to break it all down.  This week on the podcast, Paul sits down with Conor to explore the exact science behind EMV (Earned Media Value) & the strategies brands need to scale meaningful impact.  By now, it's clear the brands dominating the conversation – and their markets – know how to build authentic, long-term partnerships. (Spoiler: if your influencer marketing strategy isn't prioritizing retention, you're leaving value on the table.)  They're blending creativity, data & connection to increase their share of voice, and turn conversations into conversion with creators who get it.  Tune it to learn how to:  Unlock the Power of Earned Media Value: Learn why EMV is more than a buzzword. Conor explains how it ties directly to market share shifts, helping brands like Gucci, Prime, and Rare Beauty capitalize on their share of the conversation. Retain Influencers, Not Just Recruit Them: Retention is everything. The brands crushing it are those nurturing relationships with their core creators. Conor shares tactical advice on building authentic, lasting partnerships that scale naturally over time. Use Gifting & Experiences to Create Buzz: Think aggressive gifting strategies, unforgettable events, and founder-driven relationship-building. These aren't just nice-to-haves; they're must-haves for establishing brand loyalty and long-term Advocacy. Avoid Common Mistakes That Kill Momentum: Conor highlights pitfalls like focusing solely on campaign ROI instead of Lifetime Value, and why neglecting your core audience can tank even the strongest of strategies.

Jim Packard is the poster child for a life of consistent action. Whether it was being the top-producing paper boy or turning a $500 investment into a $17 million-a-year business, he excelled every day, all day for years. Married for more than four decades, father of two highly successful sons, Jim's consistency extended to his personal life as well. Recognized for his work in the community, he was Jaycees' Man of the Year for both his city and his state. After selling his business to a Fortune 500 company and taking "early retirement", Jim just increased his entrepreneurial interests. He shepherded inventions through development and appeared on QVC over 25 times. Through that venue alone, he sold over a million dollars of a single product. In the area of network marketing, he was a distributor of the year in two different companies, led thousands of distributors and customers, and was always a top 10 money earner. ---------------------------------------- This show is sponsored by Leopard Solutions Legal Intelligence Suite of products, Firmscape, and Leopard BI.

Did you know that a big (BIG!) chunk of sales actually comes from existing customers?How big?

(It quite possibly may be my favorite math equation to date!)In this episode, you'll learn my four-step framework for calculating LTV and my five favorite strategies to boost it.Click play to hear all of this and…(00:00:01) How understanding your LTV can grow your business exponentially.(00:03:08) The importance of existing customers.(00:05:14) An equation and clear instructions for calculating customer lifetime value.(00:13:29) Five strategies for increasing your LTV.(00:18:56) The power of under-promising and over-delivering (and how to do it effectively.)(00:20:04) How gamifying your offers or programs (like a reward system) can help keep customers engaged and loyal.(00:22:49) Ways you can increase the average purchase value AND enhance their experience.(00:26:00) Your next step after listening to this episodeSources and resources discussed in this episode:Listen to my podcast episode, How to Create an Unforgettable Experience >>HERE
