295: The Real Reason Your Patients Keep Disappearing

If you’ve ever had a patient disappear after two or three visits and wondered what you did wrong – this episode is going to change your perspective. Spoiler: it might not be you – it’s the fee-for-service model you’re operating with. 

But the good news is this: the fix is simple. Create an outcome-based offer or program that gives your patient a clear vision about their future – and a reason to stay and invest in their health for the long-term.

We’ll get into the nitty gritty of what this looks like – the five components of a great offer, deciding on the price, and giving you the permission to launch something before it’s perfect.

Key Takeaways:

• Transactions feel like expenses. Transformations feel like investments. That reframe changes how patients receive your pricing – and how long they stay.
• A good offer solves ONE specific problem for ONE specific person. The more specific you are, the faster the right patient says, ‘That’s me.’
• The container matters almost as much as the outcome. Without one, patients do the math themselves – and they always come out wrong.
• Price for the value of the outcome, not what you think your patient can afford. You don’t know their wallet. It’s none of your business.
• Fake scarcity is out. Real cohorts, real start dates, real limited spots – that’s how you earn a yes with your integrity intact.
• B-minus work that exists beats perfect work sitting in your head. Start somewhere. Adjust. That’s how you learn.
