Why Nothing is Truly Free: The Hidden Costs of Free Offers in Business
In this episode, we delve into the concept that 'nothing is really free,' particularly in the context of offering free trials and services as a business strategy. While free sessions can be an effective way to attract new clients, there's always an opportunity cost involved—for both the customer and the business owner. We discuss the various costs, including time, emotional investment, and potential risks, as well as the long-term financial implications of how you choose to spend your available hours. From the customer's perspective to the business owner's side, the episode explores why free offers are indeed not free and urges thoughtful decision-making about the real costs behind seemingly free propositions.
