    • Phase 1 – Assess
      • The business must assess if someone wants to do business with them.
    • Phase 2 – Admit
      • This is Day 1. The prospect thinks that you can help them with their problem.
    • Phase 3 – Affirm
      • The customer’s brain tells them to regret the decision they made. You have to affirm that they made the right decision.
    • Phase 4 – Activate
      • The first major reaction. Where the rubber meets the road.
    • Phase 5 – Acclimate
      • Help the customer get familiar with your way of doing business. Hold their hand.
    • Phase 6 – Accomplish
      • The customer achieves the goal that they had when they originally did business with you.
      • You will never have long-term raving fan customers if you can’t help them with this.
    • Phase 7 – Adopt
      • The customer becomes loyal to you and only you.
    • Phase 8 – Advocate
      • The customer becomes a raving fan.
  • If you can keep just 5% of customers that would increase profits 25-100%.
  • Joey wrote his book as a guidebook. It’s a blueprint for what to do.
    • His website has a free starter kit that walks you through all 8 phases.
  • Start writing a thank you note everyday.
