Are you tired of spending your precious time on intake calls that go on for WAY TOO long and rarely result in new clients? You’re not alone. I'm sure we have all had consult calls that were meant to last only 15 minutes but ended up going for 40 minutes because the client shared some heavy material and you basically gave them a free therapy session. After the call, the client leaves without booking a session, and you feel like you've just wasted your time. But it doesn't have to be that way.

In today's podcast episode, I provide practical tips on how to turn those exhausting calls into 10-minute screening calls that convert into paying clients, share the reasons why the typical 30-minute intake calls don't work for therapists, explain how to conduct screening calls instead, share my secret formula to a high conversion rate on intake calls, give you advice on how to handle common client objections, and more!

In this episode, I chat about:

• Shifting your mindset around screening calls to maximize conversions
• How to take control of conversations during intake calls
• What your screening process should look like
• Determining if the client is a good fit by asking these specific questions
• My proven 3-step strategy to turn screening calls into new clients
• Overcoming common objections and concerns clients may have
