dollar framework, package it and use

13

Let's dive in.

14

Tara Bryan: Hey, hey everyone.

15

:

Welcome back to another episode of

the Course Building Secrets Podcast,

16

:

the podcast for entrepreneurs,

coaches, and consultants who are

17

:

ready to scale their business without

sacrificing customer experience.

18

:

I'm your host Tara Bryan.

19

:

And today we're diving into something

super important for anyone transitioning

20

:

from a one on one model to a scalable

online business, how to separate

21

:

yourself from the customer experience

and customer outcome while still keeping

22

:

that connection, high touch and personal.

23

:

This is one of the biggest mindset

shifts that you have to make when

24

:

you are offering personalized one

on one services to your clients.

25

:

and going to create

scalable online offers.

26

:

So often we're helping our customers

one on one, we're investing in their

27

:

success that we almost get too involved.

28

:

Then when we try and pivot into a

scalable model, we feel lost and

29

:

disconnected because we're guiding our

customer's success instead of leading it.

30

:

So today I've got five tips to help

you step out of the daily delivery

31

:

while maintaining the level of customer

experience that your clients rave about.

32

:

All right, let's get into it.

33

:

Tip number one, to shift from service

provider to solution designer.

34

:

The first big shift you need to

make is in how you think about

35

:

your role in your business.

36

:

When you're offering one on one

services, you're often hands on and

37

:

personally delivering everything.

38

:

But when you shift to an online business

model, you need to step into the

39

:

role of guide and solution designer.

40

:

Instead of focusing on how you can

deliver each service, think about how

41

:

you can create a repeatable system or

framework that delivers the same results.

42

:

Your goal is to build something

that can run without you

43

:

constantly being in the middle.

44

:

This doesn't mean stepping

away from quality.

45

:

It means focusing on designing a

process that allows your customers to

46

:

succeed without your direct involvement.

47

:

Alright, tip number two,

systematize the customer journey.

48

:

Once you've shifted your mindset to be

more about designing solutions, it's

49

:

time to systemize the customer journey.

50

:

Ask yourself, what are the exact

steps each client needs to take in

51

:

order to reach the transformation?

52

:

Take your one on one

process and map it out.

53

:

This will help guide you.

54

:

Become the foundation of

your scalable program.

55

:

The key here is creating consistency in

your customer journey so every customer

56

:

gets the same high quality experience

whether you're involved or not.

57

:

Consider automating certain parts

of the journey like onboarding

58

:

or check ins with tools to guide

the customers at every stage.

59

:

This frees you up and ensures

that each client has a seamless

60

:

experience from start to finish.

61

:

Tip number three, utilize tech to

elevate engagement, not replace it.

62

:

Now you may be thinking, but if I'm

stepping away from the day to day,

63

:

won't my clients feel less connected?

64

:

This is where tech can

become your best friend.

65

:

Tools like the Core Experience Platform,

Email Automation, and Chatbots can

66

:

help you maintain a personalized

feel without you having to show

67

:

up for every interaction because

you're pre-creating the experience.

68

:

For example, set up automated check ins

that make your clients feel supported.

69

:

Use video messages to welcome your clients

and guide them through key obstacles on

70

:

the path to reaching certain milestones.

71

:

The goal is to replicate your

personal touch points that make

72

:

your one on one services unique

without you having to be there live.

73

:

tip number four.

74

:

Foster community to maintain

personal connection.

75

:

A big concern for most coaches and

consultants is losing the personal

76

:

relationship they have with clients.

77

:

Here's the thing.

78

:

You don't have to be the sole connection

point for your clients to feel supported.

79

:

Building a community can become

a huge game changer for you.

80

:

Plus, once you have a customer journey

mapped out and start delivering

81

:

it consistently, you actually will

have tons of time to show up and

82

:

create those personal connections.

83

:

So create a space like a private

group or forum where clients can

84

:

connect with you and each other.

85

:

Not only does it allow them

to learn from each other's

86

:

experiences, but it also gives them

a sense of belonging and support.

87

:

This takes some of the pressure

off of you to be involved in every

88

:

interaction while still ensuring

your clients feel connected.

89

:

Tip number five, create scalable

ways to show up for your clients.

90

:

Finally, it's important to build

in touchpoints that allow you to be

91

:

visible to your clients in a way that

doesn't take up all of your time.

92

:

This could mean hosting Q& A calls,

offering live monthly trainings,

93

:

or even providing pre recorded

video content that answers the most

94

:

common questions your clients ask.

95

:

By creating these scalable opportunities,

you're still giving clients access to

96

:

your expertise, but in a way that doesn't

require you to have to be available 24 7.

97

:

You can batch create content, schedule

group calls, and show up for your

98

:

clients on your terms, not theirs.

99

:

So in closing, there you have it.

100

:

Five tips to help you separate

yourself from the customer experience

101

:

as you transition from one on

one to a scalable online business

102

:

without losing that personal touch.

103

:

Remember, scaling doesn't

mean stepping away from the

104

:

customer experience entirely.

105

:

It means designing systems that

deliver the same high level

106

:

results without you having to be

involved every step of the way.

107

:

It's about leveraging technology,

community, and smart processes so you

108

:

can scale your impact without sacrificing

the experience your customers love.

business and growing your impact.
