Phone Call Secret: The 2025 Customer Service Hack

Businesses in 2025 are flooded with digital noise—but what if standing out was as simple as picking up the phone or posting a handwritten note? In this solo episode, I’m going to take you behind the scenes of my recent speaking tour across Far North Queensland (FNQ), where I connected with 97 passionate small business owners. From Atherton to Port Douglas, I will share with you what’s really resonating with customers today—and spoiler alert, it’s not another email funnel.

Whether you’re just starting out or leading a large team, this episode is your reminder that connection still counts—and it’s often the simple, human touches that make the biggest difference.
