Spinach in Your Teeth: How to Give (and Receive) Helpful Feedback That Protects Your Business
While at brunch with my Aunt Linda and sister Lisa, where my aunt tells me I have spinach in my teeth. I cannot make this up.
This reminds me of my saying that a good friend points out “spinach in your teeth,” and how this can apply to things like broken email links, outdated web info, confusing checkout pages, voice-to-text typos, and LinkedIn post mistakes.
I share why I prefer giving feedback privately and asking permission if I don’t know someone well.
I also describe messaging my friend and client Wendy Schoen about a possible typo that turned out to be correct. I also recount a Kajabi coupon-code setup mistake that accidentally gave 100% off (which would have been a $2,500 error!) instead of $67 off, how someone alerted me, and how I rewarded him with an autographed book.
I invite listeners to DM or email me with any errors they spot and recommend the spinach and Monterey crepes.
