E23 The Success Habit of Overdelivering – Creating Abundance & Lasting Impact


Listen Later

You want to stand out, be remembered, and keep your customers coming back. The secret isn’t about working harder—it’s about exceeding expectations and building the habit of overdelivering in everything you do.

Why does this matter? In a world where most businesses are cutting corners or just barely meeting the minimum, those who go the extra mile instantly set themselves apart. Customers remember who gave them more than they expected, who created that “wow” moment, and who truly cared about their experience.

As competition grows and buying habits shift, especially post-pandemic, adding unexpected value becomes your strongest strategy for growth.

What You Need to Know

Overdelivering doesn’t mean giving away everything for free or lowering your prices. It means finding ways to add perceived value to your existing offerings. This could be an extra resource, a personal touch, or handling issues with thoughtful care.

As discussed by Londina and Donna, examples range from a bonus book or downloadable tools, to handling returns in a surprising way that makes customers feel valued. The goal is to leave your clients and customers thinking, “Wow, I need to tell someone about this.”

What You Need to Do

First, reflect on what your clients truly value. Ask questions, listen carefully, and look for small ways to exceed their expectations. Review your current offerings and ask yourself: What small bonus, tool, or service can I add that they’ll find useful?

Repurpose old content, share helpful articles, or give unexpected extras. If you ever make a mistake, own it and ask, “What can I do to make this right?” That act alone can transform a disappointed customer into a loyal fan.

Your Next Step

Choose one area in your business where you can add extra value today. Maybe it's a thoughtful follow-up, a relevant resource, or an unexpected gesture. Take action and watch how your relationships and reputation start to change.

Overdelivering isn’t a one-time act—it’s a habit you build, and the new year is the perfect time to start.
