In this concise advisory monologue, the speaker emphasizes the importance of booking a full series of 12–13 therapy or coaching sessions during a client’s initial visit. The strategy aims to secure the client’s commitment, guarantee scheduling, and promote consistency, which the speaker identifies as essential for achieving results. The speaker also cautions against making assumptions about a client’s ability to pay based on superficial cues, such as being a college student, and instead advises booking based on the client’s needs and the desired outcomes. While acknowledging that clients may still cancel or reschedule, the primary goal is to have the sessions on the calendar to ensure the client has a dedicated spot and a clear plan of care.

And I'm. And remember this last thing, people pay for what they want. So don't judge a book by its cover. The college student comes in and they say they got no money, but they might have parents that can help them out. Don't judge them. Book them out for what you think that they need to get the actual result, period. We book them out for 12 sessions on the very first visit. So they come in, they. We get them over the phone. They come in the first visit. I explain the method. It's 12 to 13 sessions and they don't have to buy into a package then. But I am booking them all the way through their sessions immediately on the first day so that they are committed to their plan of care. Now, yes, they could call us and cancel and move things around, sure. But at least it's on the schedule, guaranteeing that they're going to get their spot, that they want the time that they want, and that they're going to get the results because they're consistent. Consistency is key. We know that. So just remember that.
