PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS

Got hit with a surprise charge and thought, no biggie—I’ll just ask for a refund. What followed? Five emails, a survey, and a whole lot of no thanks. In this episode, I’m breaking down the hoops Rise Guide made me jump through and why that kind of customer service is a brand reputation killer. If you sell anything online, you need to hear this.
