Lose the Point, Win the Client

from Influential Public Speaking for Leaders & Professionals · host Colin Ryan

We all mess up with clients. The difference between advisors who lose trust and those who deepen it often comes down to what happens in the moments after the mistake. In this episode, Colin shares a relatable, personal story about a family miscommunication — and how he almost responded with the exact wrong kind of apology. Colin breaks down three ways to respond when you get something wrong: the reaction that damages trust, the one that repairs it, and the one that actually strengthens trust and restores the relationship. If you've ever had to say "I'm sorry" to a client or customer (or loved one), and wondered if you said it right, this one's for you. ------------------ If this episode resonated, there are more ways Colin can help. When it comes to the people-side of work—with clients, colleagues, and teams—results depend on your ability to create trust. If you want to increase performance within your team, or you achieve more sales, more referrals, and stronger client relationships, Colin offers engaging keynotes, interactive trainings, and one-on-one coaching designed to help professionals communicate more clearly and connect more deeply.
