Ever driven 4.5 hours for answers? I did. In this episode, I share a personal story about driving all the way to Chicago to see a chiropractor from my past, Dr. Allan, because I knew he could help me. Within 10 minutes of our session, he confidently declared, “I know what this is, and it’s something we can fix pretty easily.” Instantly, I felt relief and hope.
Dr. Allan wasn’t just a healer—he was a guide in my customer journey. He exuded authority, showed confidence, and gave me a clear success path. It was a game-changer.
This story led me to reflect on your role as a guide in your customer journey. Are you showing up in the way they need? Are you acting like the trusted expert who confidently points the way forward?
Inspired by Donald Miller’s book Building a StoryBrand, I break down what it means to take on the role of the guide in your marketing and customer service. I share practical tips on:
- Showing authority and expertise in your niche
- Exuding confidence in your product or service
- Giving new customers a clear and simple “Start Here” path
- Offering the success path your customers are craving
Tune in to discover how you can build trust, nurture loyalty, and create a customer journey that leads straight to success—for both you and your audience.
