| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

She's Got Moxie ShowLast week, my family and I had to evacuate our home in southern California. My kids wanted to take a lot of stuff with us but I just took a few things.

I ended up going back into the house and grabbed something that I had purchased after I started my first business 28 years ago.

This gift to myself was a symbol for me that I was going to make it as an entrepreneur.

In the spirit of that, I'm sharing 7 Questions You Need to Answer to Get Your Audiences Attention in order to help you as an entrepreneur.

| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Nora Plesent on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

When my guest today, Nora Plesent, was getting ready to take her maternity leave with her first child, a co-worker in the law firm commented, “Wouldn’t it be great if there was just a temporary lawyer we could hire?” Nora saw a problem and went out to create a SOLUTION.

Nora, along with her co-founders went on to create Lexolution – a company that provides contract legal services to Law Firms. What started out in a basement in Scarsdale, New York, has turned into offices across the country including Lexolution New York, Washington D.C., Richmond, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Today, Nora gives a very authentic interview about the process of growing her business while maintaining quality service, the hardest years when she first moved to LA and what she did to get through it, and the KEY ingredient to guaranteed growth if you want to expand into new cities.

“Mom it’s me. I’m calling from the ambulance. I’m fine. But it’s really bad.”

After Gail Schenbaum took a frightening phone call in the middle of the night from her daughter who was in college several thousand miles away, she knew she had to use her entrepreneurial spirit to do something.

Previously an award-winning producer for companies like Warner Brothers, Columbia, Universal, Walt Disney, and Paramount, Gail has always been an incredible creator who sees problems as opportunities.

With that, Gail took her frightening situation and committed to founding the Umergency app- the all-in-one emergency health and safety solution for millions of college students and their families.

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.
