As you’re starting to grow your therapy practice, have you thought about whether you should have a client waitlist? 

Well in this first ‘Jane Explains’ episode, where I answer questions from listeners, I respond to Jo from Joanna Louise Therapy who asked about having a waiting list. 

There are certainly pros and cons for considering setting up a waiting list and how it will affect your practice.

But having a waiting list isn't quite as straightforward as it could first appear. So take a listen to this episode to talk you through if a client waitlist is the right thing for your practice. 

In this episode we explore:

  • The Pros of a waitlist and why this means your marketing is working  
  • And the Cons of a waitlist that will directly affect your potential clients   
  • How to set your boundaries to determine how many clients you actually want 
  • Actions you can take to keep a steady flow of clients 
  • 10 practical steps to take to manage a waiting list that focus on the needs of the client
