Most business owners believe they have a marketing problem—but in reality, they have an experience problem.
An experience leak is a breakdown in how clients experience your business, causing confusion, inconsistency, or emotional disconnect. These issues reduce trust, lower retention, and decrease referrals over time, often without immediately appearing in business metrics.
The most common experience leaks in business include:
- Unclear onboarding or next steps
- Communication gaps after the sale
- Inconsistent client experiences
- Lack of emotional connection
- Too many choices causing decision friction
In this episode of Trust Leaks™, Sandra Martini breaks down Experience Leaks—the subtle breakdowns in how clients experience your business that quietly erode trust, reduce retention, and eliminate referrals long before revenue drops.
An experience leak occurs when the feeling of working with your business doesn’t match the level of trust you’re trying to build.
You’ll learn:
- The most common experience leaks
- Why clients stop referring before they leave
- Why you can’t out-market a broken experience
- A simple 3-step fix: clarity, consistency, and care
