Advertise on podcast: What Would They Do? The Customer Experience Podcast For Online Business

The closer you are to your business, the harder it becomes to experience it like your customers do. You know why every offer exists. You know what someone is ‘supposed’ to do after they buy. You understand how your emails, funnels and customer journey fit together. But your customers don't have any of that context. In part one of my 3-part Outside Perspective mini series, we're looking at the blind spots that appear when you're simply too close to your own business to see what your customers are actually experiencing.

What we cover: Why your intentions aren't the same as your customers' experienceThe 3 versions of your business you need to pay attention toHow assumptions can send your strategy in the wrong directionHow fixing the wrong problem can create even more frictionWhat to look at before deciding your customer journey needs another strategy View the episode transcript here.

If you've ever found yourself posting on Instagram, hearing crickets, questioning your entire social media strategy and then disappearing for the next few weeks, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Xanthe Appelyard, the creative mind behind Oh Sierra and a leisure-first online leadership strategist who's built a thriving online community while intentionally making room for life beyond her business. We're exploring something I've personally struggled with for years: how do you create content that genuinely connects with people without social media becoming another exhausting obligation? Xanthe shares her refreshingly intentional approach to social media, including why every piece of content should have one clear engagement goal, how she uses audience reactions to guide what she creates next, and why chasing trends isn't necessarily the best way to build a recognisable online presence. We also go behind the scenes of her surprisingly simple content creation routines, how she captures everyday moments without documenting every second of her life, and why real community is about so much more than the number of followers on your Instagram account.

If you have a growing list of offers in your business and a nagging feeling that half of them simply aren't pulling their weight anymore, this episode is going to hit close to home. In this honest, behind-the-scenes episode, I'm walking you through the reflection process I've just been through in my own business, what's changing and why, and the bigger shift I'm seeing across the online business space in 2026 that I think more of us need to talk about. Because adding more to your offer lineup isn't always the answer. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take stock of what's still earning its place. Shop the Simplification Sale and get 75% off the bulk of my courses and toolkits until 15 October 2026. Prices start at AUD$2.25! What we cover: Why growing a business by constantly adding new offers is a trap a lot of us fall intoHow AI has shifted what people want from online courses and self-paced resourcesWhy tweaking your evergreen funnels won't fix the real problemThe honest questions to ask each offer in your lineup right nowWhy retiring something you've built doesn't mean you're failingWhat I'm focusing on instead, and why done-with-you and done-for-you are where I'm doubling downHow simplifying your offer suite can make it easier for your people to say yes View the episode transcript here.

SEO isn't just about keywords and Google rankings anymore. Your potential customers are searching everywhere, from Google and YouTube to ChatGPT and other AI tools. And increasingly, those platforms are trying to understand who you are, what you're known for and whether you're a credible source worth recommending. So what does that mean for the way you approach SEO in 2026? In this episode, I'm joined by SEO strategist Laura Jawad to explore why it's time to think beyond rankings and start looking at your entire online footprint. We're talking about the connection between SEO, discoverability, reputation and customer experience, plus what actually helps Google and AI search tools understand what you should be known for. If you've ever worried that AI search means everything you've learned about SEO is suddenly obsolete, this conversation will put you at ease. What we cover: Why SEO is no longer just about keywords and rankingsThe difference between rankings and true discoverabilityHow AI is changing the way potential customers search for businessesThe importance of consistently talking about what you want to be known forWhat Google and AI look for when deciding whether you're a credible expertWhere SEO fits into the customer experience and customer journeyThe three things Laura would prioritise to become more discoverable over the next year Connect with Laura Jawad: Website: https://www.laurajawadmarketing.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heylaurajawad/ FREE SEO Scorecard: www.laurajawadmarketing.com/what-would-they-do/ View the episode transcript here.

Just because you can automate something in your business does that mean you should? As your business grows, automation can feel like the obvious answer to buying back much-needed time and capacity. But there are two extremes I see all the time: Those who automate everything because they've been told that's what scaling looks like. And those who automate absolutely nothing because the tech feels so overwhelming that running everything manually somehow seems easier. Neither approach is particularly helpful. So in this episode, I'm sharing the three questions I ask myself before I automate anything in my own business or my clients' businesses. Because good automation is about knowing where your personal touch makes a real difference, what you need to keep visibility of, and whether removing yourself from one interaction gives you more capacity to show up somewhere more valuable. What we cover: Why automating everything isn't necessarily the answer to scaling your businessThe risk of removing yourself from customer touchpoints that need youWhy visibility matters when you're automating a course, membership or programHow customer data can help you make better long-term decisions about your offerWhy every automation should buy back capacity for something more valuableHow to audit automations you've already built using these three questions View the episode transcript here.

What if you could automate almost your entire customer onboarding experience... without making it feel automated? In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a recent Done For You client project where I mapped out a 12-month onboarding experience for an evergreen group program. My client had transitioned from cohort-based launches, where everyone started together, to an evergreen model where students could enrol whenever they were ready. The problem? She was still offering plenty of live support, community access and opportunities to get help, but engagement tended to drop a few months after someone joined. And she couldn't spend her days manually keeping track of where every student was, what they'd completed and who might quietly be falling behind. So we designed a system that could. I'm walking you through the three layers we used to create an onboarding experience that tracks the signals students are sending, delivers timely automated nudges, and deliberately brings my client back into the experience when a human touch actually matters. The result is an onboarding journey that's 95% automated, with the remaining 5% intentionally unscalable. Because scaling your customer experience doesn't have to mean removing yourself from it. What we cover: Why evergreen programs require a different approach to onboardingHow I mapped a 12-month customer onboarding journeyWhy we started with customer research rather than automationsHow to identify the milestones that predict customer successWhat you can track to understand whether customers are engagingWhy automation should support your live customer experience rather than replace itHow to identify the moments where a personal check-in matters most3 questions to help you start mapping your own automated onboarding experience View the episode transcript here.

What if your customer experience didn't begin after someone bought from you, but with the way you designed your offers? In this episode, I'm joined by offer strategist Ceels Lockley to explore a topic I don't think gets enough attention in the online business world: the experience your offers create. We dive into why many offers don't actually have an offer problem at all. They have a messaging problem. We also explore why constantly creating new offers isn't the answer, how to design an offer ecosystem that naturally guides customers from one stage to the next, and why AI still falls short when it comes to building meaningful, differentiated customer experiences. Along the way, Ceels shares the thinking behind her festival-themed business, her unique approach to offer ecosystems, and the intentional customer experiences she's built into every part of her brand. If you've ever wondered whether your offers are working together or simply sitting next to each other, you'll love this conversation. What we cover: Why poor messaging often gets mistaken for a bad offerThe biggest mistake business owners make when an offer isn't sellingWhy your offers need time to evolve instead of being replacedThe difference between an offer ladder and an offer ecosystemHow to create a customer journey that feels natural instead of forcedWhy themed customer experiences create more memorable brandsThe thinking behind Ceels' festival-inspired business modelHow exclusive experiences can strengthen customer engagementWhy AI still struggles with nuanced offer strategy and positioningHow to build offers people genuinely want to buy Connect with Ceels Lockley: Website: https://ceelslockley.co/ Podcast: https://ceelslockley.co/podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ceels.lockley/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@its.ceels View the episode transcript here.

Most online business owners believe they're creating a great customer experience. But are they measuring it? In this episode, I'm giving you an exclusive sneak peek inside the brand-new State of the Customer Report 2026 sharing three of the biggest gaps emerging across the online business industry. From confidence without evidence, to loyalty programmes that never get off the ground, to the growing importance of transparency in an AI-powered world, these findings reveal where businesses think they're succeeding... and where customers are experiencing something very different. If you've ever wondered whether your customer experience has blind spots, this episode is for you. What we cover: Why confidence doesn't always equal customer successThe surprising percentage of businesses tracking absolutely nothingWhy loyalty programmes remain more idea than realityThe buying factor customers ranked above bonuses and urgencyHow AI is widening the gap between polished marketing and genuine trustWhy measuring customer experience matters more than ever View the episode transcript here.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a recent client project that completely changed the direction of an established membership. Like many business owners, my client thought she had a pretty good understanding of what her members wanted. But instead of relying on assumptions, we went straight to the source. The results uncovered messaging gaps, feature requests and blind spots that simply wouldn't have surfaced if we'd only listened to the loudest voices inside the community. In this episode, I explain why customer research is one of the most underused growth strategies, and how you can start gathering better insights for your own business. What we cover: Why assumptions are holding many businesses backThe three audiences you should include in your customer researchThe gap between the metrics businesses track and what customers experienceHow better audience research improves both retention and conversionsThe biggest mistakes people make when designing customer surveysWhy hearing uncomfortable feedback can become your biggest competitive advantage View the episode transcript here.

In this episode, I'm unpacking a cancellation survey response from a former Retention Lab member that perfectly captures one of the biggest misconceptions I see in online business: "I'm focused on getting members right now, so there's no need to focus on retention." The problem? Retention and acquisition aren't two separate strategies. Every interaction someone has with your business, from the moment they discover you, is shaping whether they'll trust you, buy from you, and eventually come back again. In this episode, I explain why I believe retention starts long before a purchase, how I build that philosophy into my own business, and the small changes you can make to create more personalised customer journeys without rebuilding your entire funnel. If you've ever thought retention was something you could "worry about later", this episode might completely change how you think about your customer experience. What we cover: Why customer retention starts before the saleThe surprising insight from a member cancellation surveyWhat I mean by "Love at First Click"Why treating every subscriber the same hurts conversionsHow personalised customer journeys increase trustThe connection between relevance, customer experience and retentionThree stages every retention ecosystem should coverOne simple way to make your email marketing more human without rebuilding your entire funnel View the episode transcript here.

You've launched before, your audience knows you, and your offers have sold successfully. So surely launching your next offer should be easier... Right? Not always. In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes story of working with Krista Miller from Summit in a Box on the launch of a brand-new offer. While Krista had years of experience and a loyal audience, one thing still stood in the way: Founder bias. Let’s unpack why being an expert in your own business can make it harder to see the messaging gaps, assumptions and blind spots that can derail launches before they even begin. If you've ever questioned whether your next offer will land, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from borrowing someone else's perspective. What we cover: Why successful launches can create dangerous assumptionsThe hidden impact of founder bias on your messagingWhy audience research is about much more than writing better copyHow customer insights shape offers before they're builtThe difference between assumptions and evidenceWhy experienced business owners still have blind spotsHow objective feedback transforms launchesThe role customer journey design plays before someone ever buys View the episode transcript here.

If your evergreen funnel isn't converting, your membership churn is creeping up, or you just have a nagging feeling something in your customer journey is off... this episode is going to help you start diagnosing the issue. The tricky thing about a broken customer experience is that it rarely shows up as a complaint. People simply go quiet, unsubscribe, or cancel. And when you've built everything yourself, you're often too close to it to see where it's falling apart. Today I'm walking you through a practical starting point for diagnosing your customer journey and finding what I call the moment that matters. What we cover: What a customer journey is and why it's so hard to diagnose from the insideThe moment that matters and what it means for whether someone stays or disengagesWhy dissatisfaction almost never shows up as a complaint (and what to look for instead)How to map your customer journey by phase and spot the blind spotsThe two questions to ask yourself when you're looking for where things go wrongWhy talking to your people is still the most underrated research tool you have View the episode transcript here.

If you've ever caught yourself adding yet another idea to your list and calling it progress, this episode is for you. So many small business owners are sitting on genuinely brilliant ideas that never make it out of the planning phase, and it's not because the ideas are bad. But deciding what to act on, and actually committing to it, is one of the hardest parts of running an online business. In this solo episode I'm digging into why the idea-to-execution gap exists, what keeps us stuck in the loop, and what it looks like to finally get out of it. What we cover: Why saving ideas feels productive but isn't moving the needleThe decision-making loop that keeps brilliant ideas stuck on the listWhy trying to execute everything at once is one of the biggest trapsThe difference between planning and progress (and how to tell which one you're doing)The questions to ask yourself to work out which idea is worth acting on right nowWhy an outside perspective changes everything when you're stuck inside your own businessA real client story: how a membership owner went from months of overthinking to a full restructure that reduced member churn and reignited her motivation View the episode transcript here.
