Show Notes
As you’re starting to grow your therapy practice, have you thought about whether you should have a client waitlist?
Well in this first ‘Jane Explains’ episode, where I answer questions from listeners, I respond to Jo from Joanna Louise Therapy who asked about having a waiting list.
There are certainly pros and cons for considering setting up a waiting list and how it will affect your practice.
But having a waiting list isn't quite as straightforward as it could first appear. So take a listen to this episode to talk you through if a client waitlist is the right thing for your practice.
In this episode we explore:
- The Pros of a waitlist and why this means your marketing is working
- And the Cons of a waitlist that will directly affect your potential clients
- How to set your boundaries to determine how many clients you actually want
- Actions you can take to keep a steady flow of clients
- 10 practical steps to take to manage a waiting list that focus on the needs of the client
