Should you don’t inform your potential purchasers your story – that’s, why you’re employed in your particular area of interest and why you need to assist them remedy their drawback, you’re lacking one key ingredient that’s important to the shopping for course of for private-pay purchasers.
Potential purchasers have to Know, Like, and Belief you with the intention to say sure to working with you. To unravel this problem, and to foster the Know, Like, and Belief components at tremendous velocity, you should, to begin with – know your story – after which share it together with your potential purchasers.
- Your story might be private – perhaps you or an in depth pal or member of the family handled the issue you now assist your purchasers with.

As you create your story to share together with your viewers, there are a few issues to remember:

Bear in mind, it’s not about you – it’s about serving to potential purchasers to decide on you in case you’re the precise therapist for them.

You’ll see right here, that this objection buster is tailor-made to the area of interest.
