Episode notes

Guest Name built a business around one client, and for six years it worked. Then the client left, with a week’s notice.

John starts where he always does, with the person behind the business, then asks what happened in the days after the call. They talk about the first fix, what it cost, and the conversation Guest Name still dreads.

Pull up a chair.

Three things I know now.

Ring the client who left. Not to win them back, just to learn.

Thing 1, Guest Name

Cash in the bank is a decision you made months ago.

Thing 2, Guest Name

Tell the team first, then tell the bank.

Thing 3, Guest Name
