Thoughts From Sancerre

Back from her Sancerre retreat, Alison shares behind the scenes of the retreat and how she and her team prepared, ran it, and what she learned from the experience. She talks about the setting, the schedule, the welcome activities, and the mix of downtime, local experiences, and closing exercises she built into the week.

She also discusses the business workshops, focusing on how retreats can generate profit beyond ticket sales through pricing, expenses, upsells, and mini offers and reflects on the challenges of selling retreats, the need for clear messaging, and the value of addressing what keeps people stuck.

Alison closes the episode with her main takeaways from the retreat, including the importance of unscripted conversations and in-person connection and more importantly, her vision for the future of Luxury in Business Retreats.

About the Podcast

Creating the World's Best Client Experience
What really goes into a Client Experience?
This show takes a closer look at client experiences and the different elements we use to help enhance and produce REAL transformation. Client Experiences are more than just a 'transaction', they can be a space and vehicle which allows people to make amazing quantum shifts in perspective, which ultimately leads to REAL change going forward. In shining a light on how client experiences look, we illustrate how self-care looks for our businesses. On this show we talk to industry leaders, business owners, entrepreneurs and thought leaders in the coaching and service industry spaces on how they are creating amazing client experiences in a post pandemic world. We talk about the challenges, as well as the wins and what lessons and takeaways can mean for us going forward. Whether your experiences are in person at retreats or events or are online or both, we want to talk to you!
