If you’ve been frustrated with rising CRM costs, overwhelmed by complicated platforms, or tempted to replace your CRM with Airtable or Notion, this episode is for you.

I’m walking through all the thoughts running through your mind right now — the overwhelm, the fear of starting over, and the struggle of trying to DIY your systems. As a client experience systems strategist and HoneyBook educator, I’ll help you understand why a CRM is still one of the most important tools for service providers in 2025 and 2026, what it should actually do for your business, and how to decide if switching tools is the right move.

• Why rising CRM costs aren’t the only reason to cancel
• How much time and effort it takes to switch tools
• What a CRM should be doing for your business in 2025
• Why “duct-taping” multiple tools creates stress and errors
• When Airtable or Notion works — and when it doesn’t
• How to simplify your systems without losing functionality

• Clarity on whether a CRM is essential for your business today
• Confidence to make a smart choice about keeping, switching, or restructuring your system
• An understanding of the true value a CRM can bring to your clients and business
• Tips for streamlining your tech stack without sacrificing service

If you’ve updated your services, changed your pricing, or switched tools this year, it’s time for a systems audit.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to do a full client experience systems audit, the exact process I use every quarter to make sure every touchpoint, workflow, and automation still aligns with how I want my business to run.

I’m breaking down the seven key categories to review inside your business:

• Inquiry & Lead Management
• Onboarding Experience
• Project Management & Delivery
• Client Communication & Relationship Management
• Offboarding Experience
• Client Nurture & Retention
• Tech & Tools Audit

You’ll learn how to walk through each one strategically and spot what’s outdated, what’s working, and what needs to be refreshed before the new year. I’ll also share the updates I’ve been making over the past 45 days to strengthen my own systems and elevate the client experience in my business.

This episode is your guide to starting the new year with systems that actually support your goals, so you can spend less time catching up and more time confidently serving dream clients.
