The Importance of Developing Regular Referrals for your Therapy Practice
Referrals for Your Mental Health Practice
Regular referrals are the key to the long term success of your business. They reflect client’s good opinion of you as a person, and the great work your practice does. If clients are satisfied enough to tell their friends and families about you then you are doing something right.
When doing business with clients or other businesses, the number of good referrals you get will depend upon the relationship you have developed with each individual.
When someone likes you, as a person, and you have developed a good rapport with them, they will tell others about your practice. This happens regardless of how good you are at being a therapist.
Who can develop regular referrals for your practice?
All other people you deal with in respect to running your practice also have the power to generate referrals. Don’t underestimate anyone. Your office cleaner, the photocopier mechanic, through to your bank manager all have the power to refer business to you.
