In this post, we’ll explore three practical strategies to help you nail your client conversations, overcome hesitation, and grow your myofunctional therapy business.
1. Know Your Stuff
Confidence starts with knowledge. Being prepared to answer common questions about myofunctional therapy is essential to building trust with potential clients. Some questions you should be ready to answer include:
- What is orofacial myofunctional therapy?
- Why is nasal breathing healthier than mouth breathing?
- What are tongue ties, and why do they matter?
- Why is early intervention crucial for craniofacial development?
If you’re unsure about these answers, take the time to study, practice, and refine your understanding. Remember, you don’t need to know everything—but you do need to provide accurate and honest information.
2. Practice Makes Perfect
The more you practice, the more confident you’ll feel. Rehearse your responses to frequently asked questions until they feel natural, not scripted. Use tools like note cards or write down answers to internalize them without memorizing. The goal is to sound authentic and approachable, not robotic.
Think back to your days in hygiene school—what study methods worked for you? Apply those techniques to your myofunctional therapy knowledge. Whether it’s practicing in front of a mirror or role-playing with a friend, consistent practice will transform your communication skills.
3. Change Your Mindset
Your mindset shapes how you present yourself. If you believe in the value of your services, potential clients will too. Start by affirming your worth, even if you’re new to the field. Trust the process and borrow confidence from mentors or peers if needed.
Remember, every expert was once a beginner. Just like a heart surgeon doesn’t perform their first procedure with absolute certainty, you don’t need years of experience to believe in the transformative power of myofunctional therapy. Confidence grows with time, practice, and experience.
Take the Next Step
Building confidence in client conversations takes practice, preparation, and a positive mindset. If you’re ready to transform your communication skills and grow your business, the Ditch Hygiene Academy™ offers the tools, resources, and weekly coaching to help you succeed.
