Spinach in Your Teeth: Feedback That Protects Your Business - Ep 204

Spinach in Your Teeth: How to Give (and Receive) Helpful Feedback That Protects Your BusinessWhile 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saying that a good friend points out “spinach in your teeth,” and how this can apply to things like broken email links, outdated web info, confusing checkout pages, voice-to-text typos, and LinkedIn post mistakes.I share why I prefer giving feedback privately and asking permission if I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.00:00 Brunch Spinach Moment00:50 Good Friends Speak Up01:27 When to Ask Permission02:06 Digital Spinach Examples03:10 This "Font" Was Not a Typo04:18 Private Feedback Etiquette05:08 Coupon Code Costly Error09:17 Reward the Spotters10:02 Wrap Up and Crepe TipSupport the show**************************************My name is Brenda Meller.
