That's exactly what happened when I worked with Knapsack Creative for my website redesign—and I was so impressed, I had to get the inside scoop on how they engineered such a seamless client experience.In this revealing conversation with Savannah from Knapsack Creative, we pull back the curtain on the systems and processes that allow their team to build complete Squarespace websites in as little as one day while keeping clients delighted throughout the journey. What emerges is a masterclass in client experience design that any service business can learn from.Savannah walks us through their entire workflow—from the initial fit call to their unique project mapping system that gives clients total clarity on what to expect. We explore how they use Content Snare to make content collection painless, their strict time-blocking approach that makes projects predictable (Tuesdays and Thursdays are exclusively for client work!), and the meticulous documentation that ensures nothing falls through the cracks.The most valuable insights come from understanding how they create what Savannah calls "micro yeses" throughout their process—small alignment points that prevent the dreaded "this isn't what I wanted" moment at project completion. Their collaborative approach keeps clients engaged while maintaining incredible efficiency.Whether you're a solopreneur, agency owner, or in-house marketing leader, you'll find actionable strategies to transform your own client or stakeholder processes.

Ep 146: Stop Writing Proposals Nobody Reads and Start Selling Gateway Offers

Send us a textJoin the Gateway OfferAre your sales calls leading nowhere? Do potential clients constantly ghost you after you've spent hours crafting the perfect proposal? There's a better way to convert prospects into paying clients, and it starts with implementing a gateway offer.Gateway offers represent a paradigm shift in service-based business sales. Unlike traditional discovery calls that often result in ghosted proposals, a gateway offer provides immediate value while getting you paid for your expertise from the very first interaction. The concept is brilliantly simple: create a low-ticket, high-value offer that gives clients a taste of what working with you is like before they commit to your signature service.As Sarah explains in this episode, the structure of an effective gateway offer includes both a live element (like an interview or assessment) and a deliverable (like a documented strategy or report). This combination builds the crucial know-like-trust factor while demonstrating your expertise in a tangible way. The magic happens when you use this paid discovery process to uncover exactly what the client needs, allowing you to perfectly position your signature offer during the review session.The results speak for themselves. After implementing gateway offers in her business, Sarah was booked out six months in advance within just four months. Even more impressive, she maintains approximately a 75% conversion rate from gateway offers to her high-ticket services. This approach transforms your sales pipeline from unpredictable to reliable while eliminating the frustration of price-shopping clients who waste your time with no intention to buy.Ready to implement this game-changing approach in your business?
