You've changed the price. You've changed the follow-up. You still don't know which one was the problem.
You already know how each one ended. You've never seen them side by side.

Before you start
Think of your last five consultations. Real ones, in order. First names or initials are enough.
This is not a report card. Nobody sees it unless you choose to share it. You're looking for one thing: where the conversation stopped.
Ten minutes. Let's look.
Step One
How did each one end?
For each consultation, mark the ending that matches. One mark per row.
Don't overthink it. Trust your first memory. It's usually the accurate one.
Tap a square to mark it. Your marks stay on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
| Client | Started treatment |
"I'll think about it" |
"It's expensive" |
"I have to check with..." |
Promised to call back |
Asked for details, went quiet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mark all five rows. The column that keeps filling up is your consultation pattern, and it will show itself right here.
A pattern you can see is a pattern you can change.
Step Two
Sit with it for a second
Is your pattern
the one you expected?
The busiest column is almost never the one owners expect.
Every clinic has a pattern. Most owners have never seen theirs on paper.
Don't explain it. Just notice it.
Step Three
Look one layer deeper
1. When a consultation stalls, what do you do first? Explain more, offer a discount, give her time?
2. Which of the five conversations would you replay if you could?
3. Write the exact sentence you hear most often at the end of a consultation. Word for word.
Now the part most worksheets don't have
What I'll see in your five
Most owners stop after they spot the pattern. This is where yours starts to change.
Tell me your fullest column and the sentence from question 3. Don't write an essay. Two lines is enough. I've sat in more than 24,600 of these conversations, so yours will look familiar to me. I read every one that comes in, and I send back Your Pattern Note: one thing I noticed, and where your consultations quietly leave the path.
You show me where they stopped.
I'll show you what stopped them.
