The £50k Lesson You Shouldn’t Ignore

Here’s how understanding client wants keeps them loyal

Hi,

Here’s a story that stung but taught us volumes…

We ran an exceptionally successful campaign for a big client, helping them generate millions in property sales. Everything seemed perfect - until they left us. Why? It wasn’t due to lack of results but because we overlooked a simple want: being visited in-person and feeling valued locally.

This was our wake-up call: if you only focus on delivering what clients need, you can miss the human touch they want. Here’s how to bridge that gap:

  1. Ask Directly: “What needs to happen for this to be the best decision you’ve ever made?” Simple questions reveal invaluable insights.

  2. Personal Touch Matters: Great numbers don’t build relationships; personal interactions do. Adapt your strategy to include personal calls or visits that show genuine interest.

  3. Integrate Wants and Needs: Blend what you know they need with the experiences they desire, like VIP events or regular check-ins.

It’s about more than results; it’s about making clients feel seen and special. Learn from our story so you don’t have to write your own version of this expensive lesson.

Catch you again,
Joel
