This practice might not be the right fit for you—and that’s a good thing
This practice might not be the right fit for you—and that’s a good thing

In a recent blog post, Seth Godin shared a powerful phrase:


"This might not be for you."


We invest so much time and energy into marketing and recruitment, that when a lead does emerge, the temptation is to think that you have to convert the lead - at all costs.


But not every lead is a suitable fit for your business and/or your life.


Whether it's a potential new patient, a new salaried team member, or a self-employed clinician.....


It's a perfectly good tactic, having reviewed the evidence, to respond with:


"This practice might not be the right fit for you."


More of that would avoid a lot of problems down the line.
