Therapy For Your Money

Episode 128: Why your intake coordinator should be a sales person - Part 2 (with Niki Ramirez)


Listen Later

During this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the shifting mindset from viewing intake coordinators strictly as administrative support to seeing them as essential salespeople in mental health practices. By redefining the role, conversion rates can increase, benefiting the practice and the clients.  When it comes to putting the right person in the role, it's important to hire someone with a sales mindset capable of tackling tasks like efficient follow-ups and exploring all possible patient options while still being likable and relational.  

Three questions this episode will answer are:

  • What are some past jobs to look for when hiring an intake coordinator
  • What are some jobs that might not be a good fit for experience (it's not what you think)
  • What are some of the skills to look for when hiring an intake coordinator
