The Service Industry Bubble: What Happens Next (And How to Survive It) | Social Proof Podcast #553

The service industry is entering a major correction — and most entrepreneurs have no idea what’s coming.

Across the country, service prices have skyrocketed while customer satisfaction and perceived value have stayed the same. Haircuts, cleaning services, videography, coaching, design, consulting — almost every service-based business is charging more but delivering the same thing.

And now the market is pushing back.

Customers are cutting expenses. Jobs are being eliminated. Household budgets are shrinking. Subscriptions are getting canceled. Loyalty no longer exists in this new economy.

🔥 If you’re a service provider or entrepreneur in the service industry, this episode is your warning before the bubble pops.

You’ll learn how to survive inflation, adapt to shifting customer behavior, and build a business that is actually recession-proof.
