Are you meeting your customers where they are, or are you frustrating them with rigid communication methods? In this episode, I share a recent personal experience from my son’s wedding planning drama, and we explore the importance of adapting to your clients' preferred communication channels. How can refusing to get on the phone with eager customers impact your business? What steps can you take to ensure you're not missing out on potential sales because you're not accommodating?

Listen to this new 9-minute episode for key insights on adapting your communication strategies to better meet your customers’ needs and grow your business.

Episode Summary:

In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I share a personal story about my son and future daughter-in-law's frustrating experience while planning their wedding. They tried to rent items from a local company but were denied the chance to speak with a representative over the phone. This led me to highlight the importance of meeting customers where they are, whether that means talking over the phone or communicating digitally. I discuss the challenges and missed opportunities businesses face when they fail to adapt to customer preferences. This episode serves as a crucial lesson for wedding professionals on improving customer interactions and sales strategies by accommodating different communication preferences.
