  • How can cash-based physical therapy practices overcome patient objections and build trust that leads to long-term relationships and conversions?


    What strategies can practice owners implement to pre-qualify patients and increase sales without the pressure of traditional evaluation models?


    Join me on today’s podcast episode of the Dave Kittle Show with Jordan Mather, the CEO of Clinical Marketer, a company that educates physical therapy practices on building better marketing strategies and creating a world-class patient experience. His mission is to help everyday clinicians start and grow their own wildly profitable healthcare businesses while making a larger impact. Jordan’s work also aims to reshape the narrative of how the general public perceives physical therapy, aligning it with the lifestyle goals that clinicians and practice owners had in mind when they started their businesses.
