Confusion is one of the fastest ways to lose trust — often without realizing it’s happening. In this episode of Trust Leaks™, Sandra Martini breaks down how a lack of clarity slows clients down, increases hesitation, and quietly leads to disengagement or ghosting.

Clarity isn’t about giving more information. It’s about reducing how much your client has to guess.

In this episode, you’ll learn the four most common clarity gaps that weaken trust in otherwise strong businesses:

• Why unclear next steps make even paying clients feel uncertain

• How too many options increase decision fatigue instead of freedom

• The hidden danger of internal language, acronyms, and assumed knowledge

• How inconsistent messaging across emails, websites, and conversations creates instability

Sandra shares real‑world examples — from client onboarding to sales conversations — and explains how small clarity fixes create a noticeably stronger client experience.

If clients are slowing down, disengaging, or going quiet, this episode will help you identify where confusion may be showing up and how to correct it.

Most trust doesn’t break at the surface — it erodes quietly after someone becomes a client. In this episode, Sandra Martini reveals the hidden experience gaps that cause clients to disengage and churn without ever complaining, even when delivery is strong.

Key Takeaways:

• Trust leaks most often occur after the sale, not before.
• Clients leave due to small, compounding experience gaps, not one big failure.
• Four hidden gaps quietly erode trust: Now What?, Energy Drop, Assumption, and Inconsistency.
• Clients experience transitions, while businesses focus on task delivery.
• Experience is a design problem, not a people problem — trust scales through clarity, not effort.
