There’s nothing better than seeing a client turn the corner — those little clinical wins that remind us why we do what we do.In this episode, I’m talking about how to take those wins and use them to market your practice in a way that feels genuine, not salesy.

Ever had a client who’s ticking all the boxes but just not budging? Drives you a bit nuts, doesn’t it?In today’s episode, I’m talking about follow-up systems—because the good old “see you in two weeks” doesn’t suit everyone.
