What It's About

This refund request came late in the game.

Notes from Chris

Episode 2065
After completing two long sessions with a client, a new coach received a request for a refund. Should she revise her policy of “money back with no questions asked”?

This is one of those frustrating experiences that you sometimes deal with, especially in a new business where you’re trying to figure out who your ideal customer is, what’s the best way to market to them, and so on.
"I just had a frustrating experience and wanted to get your input. After completing three hours of coaching (split into two different sessions), a new client emailed me to ask for a refund.

Technically I do say on my website that satisfaction is guaranteed, but I've never had anyone actually go through the personalized training I provide and then ask for their money back. One time someone quit early in the first session, but that was different.

Since I have the guarantee I'm going to give them their money, but I'm annoyed by this experience. Should I change the language on my website to avoid this in the future, or just not worry about it and assume it won't happen often?"
