3 Major Problems with "Discovery Calls"

Considering discovery calls, doing them now or thinking you might be missing out on them?  Check out the full 'sode to better understand the conversion process!The first thing to recognize is where these 'discovery calls' - which are really sales calls - come from.  They come from the 'ortho bro' model and selling big packages.  Here's why we aren't a fan:1.  It's inconvenient for patientsYou're creating an extra barrier for patients.  Instead of just filling out a contact form, they have to find a time on your schedule that works.  They have to decide to spend a half hour of their time with you and wait days/weeks to even know if you can help!   What's actually happening is many patients are seeing this on your website, looking at the times and then disappearing instead of booking.2.  Gives the wrong impression of pelvic healthWhat other doctorate-level medical professional does a 'discovery call'?  Good luck getting your urologist on the phone to see 'if you're a good fit!'If we're trying to normalize pelvic rehab, it's the wrong impression to be sending.  3.  It's not sustainable for a growing businessThis might be feasible when you're small and growing slowly....but if you're doing this, you're costing yourself the leads that could help you grow faster!But once you're busy, these discovery calls take time away from patient care.  And if you're trying to outsource these to your clinicians, they are going to struggle and resent it.  Patients can still feel heard and taken care of.  You just need a good phone script, NOT a discovery call!
