But what happens after that?A customer can understand your offer, trust your business and love the result, yet still not buy often enough to support sustainable growth.That is a customer journey problem.In this Business Builders episode, I look at a growing service business that has already done the difficult work of creating demand and earning customer trust. Its next growth opportunity is different. It needs to make the second, third and fourth purchase easier than the first.The principle applies far beyond this particular business. When every repeat purchase feels like a new decision, you have created demand, but you have not yet created a habit.We explore how to reduce friction between purchases through better digital booking, collection, reminders and eventually scheduled services.You’ll gain insight into how to:• Increase repeat purchases and customer retention • Identify friction in the customer journey • Turn satisfied customers into regular customers • Use digital systems to make repeat buying easier • Create more predictable recurring demand • Build customer habits without relying on constant marketing The practical test is simple.Choose one offer your customers already value but still buy irregularly. Map every step between one purchase and the next, then remove the step demanding the most effort, memory or uncertainty.Make buying again easier than buying the first time.Chapters: 00:00 Why great services still struggle to grow00:36 From educating customers to driving repeat use01:17 When customer trust is not enough02:03 The real constraint in the customer journey02:43 Why repeat purchases need to become easier03:24 Transactions or repeatable demand?04:04 Three actions to build customer habit04:43 Remove the friction between purchasesSubscribe for weekly operator-level insights on business growth, customer retention, business systems and building an Asset of Value™.</p><p>#BusinessGrowth #CustomerRetention #CustomerExperience #CustomerJourney #BusinessStrategy #BusinessBuilders #PavloPhitidis</p>
