About this listen

 Recorded live at Scaling New Heights, Nayo Carter-Gray shares her hard-won wisdom on setting client boundaries, and her frustration in receiving a scathing one-star review that turned into a teaching moment. From effective communication skills, to tools such as using answering services and shared email inboxes, to crafting the perfect out-of-office message and managing client expectations through education… she reveals how clear strategies and proactive systems create better client relationships, not damaged ones. You'll learn why "no" is a complete sentence and discover practical tools to protect your time without the guilt.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsIgnition - https://www.ignitionapp.com Keeper - https://keeper.app/shecounts/(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome (01:34) - First In-Person Podcast and Guest Introduction (02:03) - Episode Topic: The Beauty of Boundaries (03:29) - Nayo's One Star Review Story (07:02) - Setting Boundaries in Client Relationships (13:42) - Automation and Client Communication (25:16) - Effective Communication Strategies (28:19) - Team Communication and Client Management (29:12) - Shared Email Inboxes and Tools (30:10) - Setting Realistic Expectations (31:29) - Time Management Techniques (33:52) - Importance of Personal Time (35:58) - Proactive Communication and Boundaries (38:22) - Email Management Strategies (49:16) - Acknowledgements and Closing RemarksLinks mentioned in this episode:Nayo Carter-Gray - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayocartergray/First Step Accounting - https://1ststepaccounting.com/about/Accounting Cornerstone Foundation - https://accountingcornerstone.org/Bridging the Gap conference - https://www.btgconference.com/The Net Gains - https://www.thenetgains.co/Scaling New Heights - https://www.woodard.com/scaling-new-heights-2026Hope Brown on LI - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hope-brown-msa-afsp-463a44239/Insightful Accountant - https://insightfulaccountant.com/The Proposal & Beyond: Designing an Effortless Client Onboarding Experience - Insightful Accountant w/ Questian Telka - https://hubs.li/Q03wDSSD0Out-of-Office Message Template:Dear [Client's Name], From [start date] to [end date], I’ll be taking some much-needed time off.
