LUYC 093: Effective Client Management with Jennifer Bourn

LUYC 093: Effective Client Management with Jennifer Bourn

Author: Janelle Allen: Learning Designer, Online Course Coach, and Entrepreneur April 24, 2019 Duration: 42:37
What’s up, everyone? In this episode, I am joined by Jennifer Bourn, designer and owner of Bourn Creative Agency. Starting a business while pregnant was a challenge for Jennifer. Marketing automation was the key to the freedom and flexibility she wanted for her family, and it eventually paved the way for the client management system behind her business. While project management is important, Jennifer stresses that it can’t come at the expense of client management. Her course, Profitable Project Plan, is designed for developers and business owners to support the client-focused side of their business. It’s a 14-week program that explains Jennifer’s system in an easy-to-understand and interactive way. Listen as Jennifer and I talk about Profitable Project Plan, its development, and how it empowers business owners to create consistency and take control of their business. Building a successful business requires hard work, but it doesn't have to be difficult work. Episode Quotes "Stand on your ground when you take a stand on your business, and do not give in when other people push." "As I got older, I began thinking less about myself and more about the impact that I was having in the world." "Everything that I've done in my business has always been what is sustainable and enjoyable for me." "Success is not the same for every person." "You can never over-communicate.
