The $2000 Night Room

Noah Kagan
About this episode

My book Million Dollar Weekend is for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own business. I break down the process of starting into simple steps that you can do in just one weekend.  

So this summer was a wild sweaty mess. After a pretty uncomfortable RV trip with my wife and one-year-old across France, I booked one night at a $2,000 luxury resort in Bordeaux, and it blew my mind! 

I’m not usually a baller-hotel guy (Bonjour Best Western, merci beaucoup), but this place nailed every little detail.

In this episode, I break down the customer experience lessons and how you can apply them to your own business. No matter what you sell, there’s always a way to go that extra mile for your customers.

 

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

 

  • How small, low cost touches can leave a big impact and wow your customers.

  • Why consistency builds trust and long-term loyalty.

  • How to turn around those unexpected complications should they arise in your business.

 

Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

 

I have also been sharing emails on my brutally honest advice on a variety of topics. People have been loving it. Sign up at noahkagan.com and join 350k other people who get juicy insights every month.
