18. How Customer Retention Strategies Can Help Your Business During A Recession

Welcome back to episode 18! There are so many scare tactics going on right now in the media. This past weekend I watched a couple of segments of the news and instantly went into FEAR mode. Then I caught myself and said girl, why did you even watch that?? This is what I decided…#1 stop watching the news, #2 continue forward thinking and what can I do to lean into serving and giving hope and be the example of what’s possible during these times

I’m excited that my guest, Andrea Ames agreed to come on the show because she is all about helping businesses keep their clients and grow retention revenue through a focus on the “forgotten funnel” of customer onboarding, product adoption and customer success, retention and advocacy.
