Get Clients to Trust Your Team, Not Just You | EP 18424 ago11 min

Your clients only ever wanting to deal with you is quietly capping your growth.

In this episode I break down why the thing that feels like your greatest strength - being the person every client trusts - is actually the reason you can never step back

And the exact step-by-step plan to move a client relationship onto your team without them ever feeling dropped.

I spent 10 years as a director and shareholder of a $3M engineering consultancy that we grew to a $30M engineering, town planning, surveying and architecture consultancy - so I've had to do this transition myself, more than once.

I also share the story of Nathan, a Boardroom member who took an entire week off with zero contact with his team - and came back to find several key deliverables shipped, and every one of his clients still happy.

Inside this episode we cover:

- Why clients only wanting you is a growth ceiling, not a compliment

- Why you can't rip the band-aid off a client relationship

- The exact sequence to transition a client onto your team properly

- Why a real handover takes six to twelve months, not six days

- What Nathan did to take a week off without his clients even noticing

If you're the only person your clients will deal with, this episode will show you exactly how to change that - without ever dropping the ball.
