111. Your Doula Consult Went Great... Until It Didn't
About this episode
She loved your energy.
She opened up about her birth. You connected instantly. The conversation felt easy. You hung up thinking, there's no way she's not booking.
Then comes:
"I need to think about it."
"I need to talk to my husband."
Or worse... silence.
And your first instinct might be to blame your price or the other doula she's interviewing.
But what if you're losing the sale somewhere completely different?
In this episode, I'm breaking down five mistakes I've repeatedly spotted while auditing real doula consultations- and most of them look like things you're supposed to be doing.
Building rapport. Educating. Explaining your value. Giving her options. Giving her space to decide.
You know that connection is one of your greatest strengths..
But connection without leadership creates hesitation. And hesitation doesn't convert.
We're getting into the tiny moments that can completely change the outcome of a consultation, what happens after you say your price, why giving a mother more options can actually make the decision harder, and the place I see doulas unknowingly abandon the sale altogether.
And if your immediate thought is, "But Lisa, I just need more inquiries..."
Listen to this episode before you spend another minute trying to create them.
Because more leads won't fix a conversion problem.
And you may be much closer to consistent $10K months than you think.
Struggling to grow your doula business? Tired of chasing prospects online? Imagine effortlessly attracting your dream clients and consistently generating a steady income month after month.
