7 | Delivery: How to Improve Your Client Experience | What Is It Actually Like to Work With You?

What if your client process is working exactly the way you designed it to—and still creating a frustrating client experience?

Most of us didn't intentionally design our entire client experience before we started serving clients. We built it as we went.

We needed a contract, so we added one. A questionnaire. A booking link. Eventually a CRM, templates, and automations.

Piece by piece, we built the road.

And that's not a bad thing.

But eventually, we have to come back and ask:

What is it actually like to travel that road as our client?

In this episode of Sustainable Foundations, we're continuing through the foundations of a sustainable business with Delivery—and looking beyond whether your process technically works to what it's actually like to experience it.

We're talking about how your ideal client perceives value, where seemingly functional processes can create hidden frustration and mental load, and why improving your client experience doesn't necessarily mean adding more gifts, bonuses, resources, or touchpoints.

Because sometimes adding value isn't about giving your client more.

It's about requiring less from her.
