   #050: Your Clients Don’t Give a Sh*t About Your Tech Stack

   Okay, I’m getting on a soapbox for this one. Everybody wants to scale right now. More automations, a data person, new hires, a rebrand. But here’s what nobody’s asking: do you actually know what your client is going through? Like, how it feels to work with you? Because your client never sees your back end. They don’t care about your tech stack. All they know is how it feels to be in your world. In this episode, I’m talking about why client experience has to come first, before you automate, hire, upsell, or lock in your value ladder. I share the Pepsi story (you’ll get it), why a “meh” client is scarier than a cancel, and how listening to members in a 2,000+ person community I led kept people around for four years. Plus, your homework: three questions to ask your clients this week before you build or buy one more thing. Want help seeing what your clients are actually experiencing?
