Episode Details

Are you tired of spending valuable time on lengthy intake calls that rarely result in new clients? You’re not alone. So many therapists have experienced consult calls that were supposed to last just 15 minutes but ended up stretching to 40 minutes (or more) as clients shared personal details - essentially turning the call into a free therapy session. And after all that, the client leaves without booking, leaving you feeling frustrated and drained. But it doesn't have to be that way.

In this replay episode, I share practical strategies to help you transform those time-consuming consult calls into efficient 10-minute screening calls that actually convert into paying clients. You'll learn why the typical 30-minute intake call isn’t effective for therapists, how to structure your calls for better results, and my proven formula for boosting your conversion rates. Plus, how to confidently handle common client objections and much more!

Topics covered in this episode:

• Shifting your mindset around screening calls to maximize conversions
• How to take control of conversations during intake calls
• What your screening process should look like
• Determining if the client is a good fit by asking these specific questions
• My proven 3-step strategy to turn screening calls into new clients
