Everyone can agree that customers are the lifeblood that keeps businesses running. As a business owner, you should pay attention to customer retention. If you can have regular customers, that’s a big win because they would prefer your brand over anything else since they know your products statistically. But when you lose customers, that is something you should look at. Perhaps it could be from a bad customer experience, lousy product experience, or inadequate communication from the seller to the customer itself. To cut it short, losing customers is terrible. However, Dan Pfister thinks that there is gold buried in the loss of customers and how to win them back with his winback mindset.

The recruiting world is changing. We are transitioning out of the old and into a free model, where people are hired to fill positions for a certain amount of time. And fractional executives are making their presence felt with their ability to work themselves out of a job after maximizing value, making sense of the chaos, and leading companies to the next step. Talking about this shift, Ben Baker sits down with the founder of The Free Agent, Beau Billington, about the rise and advantages of utilizing fractional executives. Beau discusses how companies can attract and hire talent and what qualities they need to look for to help them achieve their goals. Likewise, he also offers some pointers for consultants looking to get hired. In these unprecedented times, fractional executives are starting to become the solution companies need—independent agents who fix problems rather than play politics.

How do you innovate at scale? The answer lies outside of your comfort zone. Humans are creatures of habit. We like routines because they help us feel in control and safe.

Barry is an entrepreneur, business advisor and author who has pioneered the intersection of business model innovation, product development, organizational design, and culture transformation. Barry is the co-founder of Nobody Studios and the author of two international bestsellers, Unlearn and Lean Enterprise. In this episode, Barry speaks about how unlearning what made you successful in the past helps you achieve extraordinary results in the future.
