About this Episode

What if the real reason your sales are flat has nothing to do with the economy and everything to do with how your team treats actual human beings?

This episode digs right into the stuff nobody wants to talk about — the uncomfortable, real-world truth hiding inside your customer experience. But instead of listing theories or waving around buzzwords, we bring in someone who’s lived this in the trenches. Across retail, small business, and even politics… the same patterns keep showing up. And if you miss them, you lose. Period.

In today’s conversation, I sit down with Bob Phibbs, The Retail Doctor, to unpack why stores lose sales they should have won, how customer experience is really created, why KPIs lie, and how pattern recognition is the secret weapon for neurodivergent entrepreneurs and sales pros. If you care about winning customers, keeping customers, and avoiding the trap of “we’re fine, it’s just the economy,” this is your episode. It’s punchy, practical, and absolutely loaded with takeaways you can use the second you finish listening.
