If there’s one truth in business, it’s that customers don’t want to contact you. Yet most companies keep giving customers every wrong reason to: faulty products, late deliveries, murky instructions, and self-service that’s impossible to use.
What would happen if this hair-pulling, stressful “friction” was removed? Customers would flock to you.
Megabrands like Amazon, Apple, Dyson, and USAA understand that the easier they are to deal with, the less customers notice them—and, counterintuitively, the more customers eagerly come back to buy more. This creates a virtuous cycle competitors struggle to match: by designing products, sales, and support to be “frictionless,” these savvy companies slash customer service costs, supercharge revenue, and create loyal fans for life.
“It sounds too good to be true, but removing friction for customers really is a miracle cure,” say veteran customer service experts and industry insiders BILL PRICE and DAVID JAFFE, authors of The Frictionless Organization: Deliver Great Customer Experiences with Less Effort (Berrett-Koehler Publishers; June 21, 2022).

You started your business for the freedom that comes with running your own company. The freedom to earn what you deserve, and to work for whomever you want, when you want, and from wherever you want.
The challenge for many business owners is that the dream remains elusive.
For you to cash out, someone must want to buy the company. An owner who is prepared with an attractive business greatly increases the odds that the business will survive a transition of hands.
How ready is your business to be sold? How ready are you for this transition?
Millions of businesses are hitting today’s market with shifting demographics, impacts of the COVID-19 recession, and changing tax regulations. Some estimates show that only 25% of businesses that go to market actually sell.
Your company needs a way to stand out.
That’s where Laurie Barkman comes in. As a “business transition sherpa” Laurie advises owners on having more valuable, sellable businesses.
