Intro

What if the key to explosive growth isn't finding new clients, but delighting the ones you've already got? This week, Michael is joined by Vance Morris, President and Chief Experience Officer at Deliver Service Now institute, who has reverse-engineered the magic of Disney to create what he calls a "Loyalty Profit Engine." Vance shares his unconventional journey from working at Disney to building a portfolio of highly profitable (and seemingly "boring") home service businesses. He reveals how the success of these companies, built on a foundation of unforgettable customer experience, led him to his true calling: teaching other business owners how to master the art of client retention.

Vance gets into the nuts and bolts of his retention system, revealing why he believes a tangible, print newsletter is far more powerful than any email campaign. He details the specific, intentional touchpoints he uses to create deep emotional connections - from sending curated articles via FedEx to giving meaningful gifts that keep him top-of-mind long after a project is complete. He argues that the key is to be systematic and personal, creating "tellable" moments that not only retain clients but also turn them into a powerful source of word-of-mouth referrals. Vance also shares a powerful case study of a dentist who transformed her practice by niching down and creating a "pirate" persona, proving that a remarkable client experience is the ultimate competitive advantage.
