721: Rebranding For the Clients You Want with Rebecca Thompson

What happens when your business changes faster than your brand does? Collin talks with Rebecca Thompson of Skyline Dog Walkers about rebranding, shifting toward dog walking, and learning how to communicate what makes a business different. Rebecca shares how she moved from teaching into pet care, built a team-based service model, and began using data alongside instinct to make stronger decisions. They also discuss visibility, social media, client acquisition, and the challenge of leading a team through change. This conversation is a reminder that growth requires clarity, consistency, and the courage to keep showing up. Main topics: Client acquisition through visibility Rebranding with business clarity Team-based dog walking systems Balancing data and instinct Creating emotional client connection Main takeaway: "We cannot live on vibes alone." That line from Rebecca Thompson is such a powerful reminder for pet care business owners. Our instincts matter, especially when we know our clients, our team, and our service deeply. But if we only make decisions based on how things feel, we can miss what the data is actually telling us. Growth often happens when we combine our gut with real information: revenue trends, client behavior, service demand, team capacity, and marketing results. That is where we start making decisions with both confidence and clarity. About our guest: Rebecca Thompson is the owner of Skyline Dog Walkers in Houston, Texas.
