Dr. Anne Hancock – Scaling an “Unscalable” Bootstrapped Business

Anne Hancock on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

I’m delighted to share my guest, Dr. Anne Hancock, with you today. I’ve known Anne for over twenty years.

Anne is an outstanding marriage & family therapist and I would argue an even BETTER entrepreneur. Many therapists have their own private practice and work by themselves, but Anne knew that she wanted something different – something bigger that could affect more people in a positive way.

She rolled her sleeves up, surrounded herself with all the right people and scaled a typically “unscalable” bootstrapped business from one therapist to many. Anne created The Wellness Counseling Center, which is a thriving center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On today’s episode of ‘She’s Got Moxie,’ Anne talks about how she grew the business, her best action steps to scale, advice on this pandemic time, and more.

Critical Moment #3 – When Your Client Has a Complaint

| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

customer-serviceToday, I want to share a very important critical moment when your client really needs you. This is the one moment I find many entrepreneurs shying away from and it’s crucial to your long-term relationship and potential future referrals.

When they have a complaint/want a refund – It’s often said that how you respond to an unhappy client can make or break your reputation, especially online. This is why you will see big businesses on Yelp, or Facebook, making every effort to correct mistakes and make things right with their customers in a public way. You may also see some businesses getting a little indignant on these public forums, shaming the customer, or standing their ground. I see this as a very costly mistake. It simply doesn’t look good, no matter who is right.

It was a busy two days packed with rich content and learning. I met some of the most powerful women in Washington who are leading the charge on policy and change. These women shared many gold nuggets that were actually comforting and reassuring. What I mean by that last statement is their perspectives were easy to grasp and I could see clearly how to implement some of the leadership lessons into my life. Sometimes when we read about women in power, it can seem surreal or unattainable.
