And in that respect, she may need a bit more time and more convincing.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a blueprint there of what PT looked like and you&#8217;re gonna have to change it for patients so they understand the value of this.<\/p>\n<p>And ultimately it all comes down to, what other options do they have?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s two different pockets of people with two different reasons for buying from you. And as always, it&#8217;s your knowledge of the person that helps you to market to them.<\/p>\n<p>Telehealth Expert, Juan Michelle Martin also weighed in on this topic&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>I think you&#8217;ve got to recognize your audience. The majority of my clients that I get for telehealth I get online. They&#8217;re not looking necessarily to for a call, they&#8217;re already online. They&#8217;re already searching online, so they want that option. They want to know they can schedule when they need to. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But then you have the people that don&#8217;t know. They&#8217;ve never had Telehealth. They&#8217;re people who don&#8217;t even know it exists. And they&#8217;re calling you like, Hey, I need therapy. Are you open? And they don&#8217;t know, and you&#8217;re gonna have to have that conversation with them. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So are you going to still have to have conversations? Yes. Can you still offer discovery visits? Yes, but should you have a way to automate this? Absolutely.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The bit that is in your favor is, the choice is gone.<\/p>\n<p>There is no choice right now.<\/p>\n<p>And that is why patients will accept telehealth.<\/p>\n<p>They will accept it because they physically, periodically have <strong>no other choice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, if you haven&#8217;t already, you can still enroll in my\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulgough.com\/telehealth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Telehealth Income Explosion<\/a>\u00a0program and get access to content like this and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Just click here:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptprofitacademy.com\/telehealth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Yes!
