Client Retention Strategies: Tips to keep your clients, longer (feat. Eric Lalonde, CEO of WriteUpp)

What if the secret to client retention had nothing to do with doing better work? And what it does have to do with is 100% in your control, and currently being totally ignored in the back-end of your business? Jenna opens this episode with a story that might make you uncomfortable — about a service provider whose backend was so polished, so organized, so *buttoned up*... that it bought them months of grace they didn't deserve. And it completely changed how she thinks about client retention strategies. Keeping clients coming back to your practice doesn't means working harder, undercharging, or saying yes to everything. In fact, that approach is a fast-track to burnout.
