    A Fool-Proof Way to Weed Out the Tire-Kickers and Find Your Ideal Patients

    As a dedicated wellness practitioner, you pour your heart and soul into caring for your patients but sometimes, retaining them for the long term can feel like an uphill battle. Without effective strategies in place, you might find yourself struggling to fill your schedule and keep your patients coming back.
     
    Lucky for you, in this podcast episode, we’re tackling a topic that will change the way you attract patients, helping them to say YES to working with you before you even offer!
     
    It’s time to say goodbye to those drive-by wellness hookups and hello to long-term, committed patients who genuinely want to get better! 💫
     
    The way to do this is through a "Get Acquainted Call." This simple yet powerful strategy is your ticket to filtering out the ‘tire kickers’ who aren’t really interested in long-term health, and instead, building lasting relationships with the ones who do. By offering a brief Get Acquainted Call, you not only get to know more about their priorities but can set the stage for a successful partnership. 🤝
     
    So, if you’re looking to grow a practice that is FULL of your ideal patients, consider shifting your “free consult” to a Get Acquainted Call!
     
    In this episode you’ll hear:
    👉 The power of the "Get Acquainted Call" in attracting the best patients.
    👉 How to engage and qualify potential clients within minutes.
    👉 Crafting irresistible offers that keep your patients committed for the long haul.
