The Solo Grind
Welcome to the solo grind. Your weekly coffee break with a fellow solo entrepreneur who's right there in it with you. I am Teresa Schlup the original caffeine creative and this is where real business meets real life. No hype just honest conversations about building a business on your own terms. We talk mindset, strategy, burnout, breakthroughs, and everything in between because going solo doesn't mean doing it alone.
Grab a cup of coffee, find your favorite spot, and let's talk about what it really takes to do this thing solo.
The Solo Grind
Creating True Client Loyalty From First Click
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We spend a lot of time trying to keep clients happy and coming back. We tweak our services, refine our systems, and look for the next thing that will make us stand out. But real loyalty is often in the small moments that happen along the way. Today, we’re mapping those moments intentionally, so the client experience you're creating matches the kind of business you want to build.
What I hope you take away from today's episode...
- Customer loyalty is built through connection, not just great services or smooth systems
- Every interaction is a touchpoint, whether you’re aware of it or not
- Small, thoughtful moments often matter more than big gestures
- As a solo business owner, your flexibility is a powerful advantage
- Clear communication and consistency build trust faster than perfection
- A strong closing matters just as much as a strong first impression
- Staying connected after the work is done keeps relationships alive
- Loyalty grows when clients feel seen, supported, and valued
