It’s Usually A Sales Issue, Not a Refund Issue
I don’t think anybody likes to talk about refunds, and what they really don’t want to do is to GIVE refunds.
After all, a service is not like a piece of merchandise that the client can return and that you can resell. When you provide a service that involves expenses, your time, and your intellectual property, once it’s been delivered to the client, it’s not something you can EVER get back.
That’s why in today’s episode of Living Forward TV (the first in a two part series), we’re diving deep and looking at all things refunds, and how to avoid them.
Most of the time, a potential client will reveal during the sales process if they’ll be wanting a refund. And that’s why avoiding potential refunds always starts before the sale!
And sometimes though, after the sale, the inevitable request for a refund will show up, and that’s when it’s important to stick to your policies (and in next weeks episode we’ll dive into what those policies could look like). However, with a little bit of strategy and finesse you’ll learn how to even turn these requests for refunds into raving fans!

Avoiding refunds before the sale! Thats a fantastic point and no so difficult to navigate actually. I nearly always have an accurate sense in any given conversation that would, as you note, reveal the liklihood of this action down the road! I like this! :-)
