Networking can be an INCREDIBLE way to bring private-pay clients into your practice. But if you're relying on referrals as your entire marketing strategy? It’s time to change that! Referrals often convert really well because they come from someone your potential client already trusts. The downside? You have very little control over when those referrals actually come in. That's why I recommend networking as one piece of a larger marketing strategy (NOT the whole thing). In today's episode, I'm talking about how to network for private pay clients + the pros and cons of doing so. In this episode, I cover: The pros & cons of networking for private-pay referralsDefining your niche + identifying potential referral partnersBuilding genuine connections w/other professionalsNurturing long-term, reciprocal referral relationshipsComparing networking & Instagram as marketing strategiesCreating a balanced marketing strategy to consistently attract private-pay clients Connect with Kelly: Follow on Instagram @businessoftherapy and @sitwithkellyCheck out the Business of Therapy® website Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!
