Four things florists do that cost them bookings

Things are going fine. Then a silence stretches a beat too long, or the budget lands nowhere near what's needed for their inspo pics, and you feel something shift.

I've coached enough florists through their client conversations to know this: there are four common behaviours we slip into under pressure that take us from leading the consultation to trying to survive it.

Based on my Substack essay Why you suddenly stop being yourself in consultations over on The Tall Poppy, in this episode I walk you through all four and where they come from.

If the version of you that shows up in consultations sometimes surprises you, you'll want to hear this.
