Here’s one thing that is so critical to keep in mind: your clients, partners, or team members will NEVER complain about this one thing:
If you made doing business with you simple and easy. In fact, anything you do in business—if you make it simple for the receiver—you’ll win.
What does that mean, practically? It means that you…
- Communicate clearly. No confusing jargon, no endless back-and-forths. Just straightforward messaging that helps people understand exactly what they need to do, what they’ll get, and what to expect.
- Remove friction. From your website to your checkout process, booking a call, or even reading an email—every touchpoint should be seamless. If people have to work to do business with you, they’ll move on.
- Guide them to the next logical step. Never leave people wondering what to do next. Whether it’s a call-to-action on your website, a follow-up email, or an onboarding process—make sure there’s always a clear, easy path forward.
- Have systems in place. Whether it’s onboarding, customer support, or fulfillment, clear systems make working with you effortless. Your clients will feel the difference when they don’t have to chase you for updates or wonder what’s next.
- Respect people’s time. No one likes unnecessary meetings, long-winded explanations, or complicated processes. Efficiency wins.
- Deliver with ease. The best businesses are the ones where clients feel like everything just flows. They don’t need to stress, follow up, or guess—because you’ve already made sure it’s easy for them.
Making things simple is an art. It’s also a competitive advantage. And the best part? Your clients will never, ever complain that you made their lives easier.
