Recently, a friend DM’d me on Instagram because she received a bad review. She went on to ask how I deal with bad reviews, negative feedback, and unsatisfied clients. She then recommended I share my response on the podcast so here we are. In this episode, I talk about how I deal with them, what I’ve learned from them, and what growth I’ve experienced as a result of them. Hint: they are great opportunities if we deal with them appropriately! And shoutout to Jaclyn Florescio of Yellow and Lace (@yellowandlace) for the great topic!

A few weeks ago, I was thrown deep into an anxious pit. It wasn’t the first time, but it was definitely the worst time. I knew what got me there, and how to get out, but I was numb to taking action. That experience caused this episode to happen. I reached out to two dear friends, Jessica Gaye and Kody Fairfield, and asked them to join me in a very real conversation about dealing with anxiety. We talk about what’s helped each of us, what’s hurt us, and how people around us can help. Whether you struggle with anxiety yourself or know someone that does, I pray that this conversation will be an encouragement to you.

Amanda Kroeker is the founder of Valley Vintage Soap Co., a small business offering natural products for the skin and hair. With sensitive skin, she and her family tried an endless variety of products to make it resemble “normal”. Many products caused breakouts (even laundry soaps). They wanted all natural products, but most they found listed some ingredients that were baffling (even some of the “organic” ones), or they were ridiculously out of their price range. Being the lover of handmade items, they set out to make their own. They loved knowing & being able to pronounce all the ingredients. They loved how their skin felt & looked. They loved it so much, they wanted to share. Thus, Valley Vintage Soap Co. was born and remains a small owner-operated family business. I met Amanda after being blown away by their products (Delicious Beard balm for the win!) and reaching out to thank her for her great product and service. It didn’t take long for me to consider Amanda a great guest for the podcast. In this episode, Amanda and I talk about going the extra mile in serving customers, never compromising even when it costs you, and powerlifting! Check it out and let me know what you think! 5:42 – The extra mile to serve customers 8:00 – Why Amanda started Valley Vintage 12:11 – Having goals in business 14:30 – Who and what influenced Amanda’s pursuit of success 15:30 – Values define what money can’t 18:00 – The temptation to compromise 20:25 – Dealing with mistakes the right way 28:25 – Taking pride in customer praise 33:45 – Protecting personal time as an entrepreneur 39:45 – Beard balm protects CrossFit hands 42:45 – An unassuming love for powerlifting Connect with Amanda: Email: valleyvintageshop@gmail.com Instagram: @valleyvintagesoap Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro Instagram – @millerryan78 Twitter @rjmsalespro Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/The post Delivering a Superior Product and Experience Means Never Compromising with Amanda Kroeker first appeared on Ryan James Miller.
