Why Lowering Your Fees Isn't Always the Answer [Ep 39]


Listen Later

Are you considering lowering your fees to attract more clients to your private practice? If so, this episode is a must-listen for you! Today, I delve deep into a common yet critical mistake therapists often make - lowering their fees to increase revenue when they actually have a marketing problem. Join me as I explain how this seemingly beneficial strategy can result in long-term issues such as an overbooked schedule, reduced income, and ultimately, burnout.

But don't worry, it's not all negative! I will share with you how to determine if what you're experiencing is truly a fee issue or a hidden marketing problem and help you craft an effective marketing strategy that will not only attract more clients but also enhance your credibility and generate more sustainable income! By the end of this episode, you will know how to identify and resolve your marketing problem and see why prioritizing quality over quantity leads to a more sustainable and fulfilling private practice. So, are you ready? Let’s tune in!

  1. Are you making the common mistake of lowering your fees to attract more clients?
  2. How to identify if your financial problem lies in marketing or your fee structure.
