What Happy Clients Won’t Tell You Until It’s Too Late

In this episode, Mark and Caroline reveal how to uncover what your clients are really experiencing before it costs you in silent churn. You'll discover why a service-first mindset beats a great product alone, how to map your client’s emotional journey in minutes, and how to turn lukewarm reviews into powerful retention tools.

You’ll walk away with a lean feedback system, a proactive comms cadence, and a simple division of roles if you’re building with a partner, so you protect revenue, build trust, and buy back your time.

This conversation gives you a plug-and-play way to protect revenue, reduce rework, and win back time by designing an experience clients want to repeat.
