You have a new client whose horses are well-mannered, pays promptly and seems satisfied with your work, but then suddenly becomes non-responsive. Or maybe you have a long-time client who starts talking to another farrier – despite showing no signs of dissatisfaction with your work. The reasons clients come and go vary – and some turnover is inevitable. But what is the secret to keeping quality clients on your books? Teri Wilber

During the online 2020 Farrier Business Success Academy, Teri Wilber of Florida Farrier Services in St. Cloud, Fla. shares some of the client retention strategies she and her horseshoeing husband, Clayton, have found helpful in their business.

During the early years of the business, Teri worked as a school teacher and used her lunch breaks and evenings to schedule clients, as well as juggling other business obligations. Florida Farrier Service soon outgrew her ability to only work their business part time and she began taking over the administrative duties full time. After many years in the industry, Teri and Clayton have worked to create a company that emphasizes what they believe matters most: family.
