Shocking Industry Stats Practitioners Need To Know
These are some shocking functional health industry statistics you should know as a Functional Health Practitioner…
- 75% of clients NEVER return after 1-2 appointments
- 67% of them report leaving due to bad experiences
A “bad experience” could be as simple as a client receiving a 30+ page report of lab tests and recommendations during an appointment, and being told to schedule another appointment in 30-90 days, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and without the guidance, accountability or support needed to implement changes.
In fact, the majority of clients who come through my virtual practice struggle to get results regardless of seeing multiple functional, integrative or holistic practitioners because of this exact scenario – but because of the way I work with clients, they often stay with me for 1-6 years (sometimes more!).
In 1990, Dr. Jeffrey Bland introduced the concept of functional medicine that revolutionized clinical applications to address the growing rates of chronic disease.
But advancements in clinical application are only ONE part of changing healthcare.
To truly create a shift and transform people’s lives, we also have to take a look at how we are being of service to people – and ask, are you truly BEING of SERVICE?
We know people don’t get better within a few appointments, after a handful of lab tests or list of lifestyle recommendations. Healing takes time, and what might seem simple to you is sometimes completely nuanced to them.
There’s a HUGE difference between providing information and education versus engaging people in the process of health transformation.
Most Practitioners don’t realize how low client retention affects not only the ability to have an impact in the world but also the financial stability and growth of their business because of statistics like this:
- It costs up to 7x more to acquire new clients vs retaining them
- $243 is the average cost of a lost client
You may not even realize you’re losing this revenue because you’re caught in the weeds of day-to-day business needs and so focused on marketing to acquire new clients.
Having the impact and income you desire depends on your ability to retain clients – a 5% retention increase can increase revenue by 25-95%!
Imagine what an increase like this would do for your business, your life and the people you so passionately want to help?
It’s time to complete the paradigm shift Dr. Bland started by providing services in a way that actually engage people in the process of health transformation.
