Treat Your Business Podcast
with Katie Bell - Business Coach for UK Clinic Owners
Episode Notes
“Gappy diary” isn’t a marketing problem. It’s usually a sales, retention, and recall problem.
In this episode of Treat Your Business, Katie breaks down a practical plan to fill appropriate capacity before Christmas without throwing money at ads, discounts, or last-minute panic marketing. You’ll learn how to identify exactly where the gaps are (which clinician, which service, which day/time), run a respectful recall campaign to people who already know you, and commit to one clear “hero” campaign that your whole team can execute consistently.
If you’re a physio, osteopathy, podiatry, chiro, or healthcare clinic owner and you want a fuller diary with better margin (and less chaos), this is the episode to listen to.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why “we need more marketing” is usually the wrong diagnosisHow to define “gappy” properly (clinician, service, day, time)How to spot the real constraint: conversion + retention, not demandWho to include in a recall campaign (and who NOT to)The difference between helpful follow-up and salesy pressureWhy one hero campaign beats 12 half-arsed offersHow to make it easy for your team to execute (scripts, process, ownership)What to measure so you know it worked (revenue, not likes)Want results like this in your clinic?
