Be Prepared.
Before taking on new clients, make sure you have the tools and forms you need. The Health and Medical Questionnaire and Fitness Assessment are a great place to start. You'll also need a signed Informed Consent and Cancellations Policy prior to the first session.
Q&A
Be ready to answer questions about cost, availability, areas of expertise and the types of clients you assist. Have references and certification documents ready. Offer a free assessment or trial period to new clients. Be clear about your services and what you can deliver.
Be Informed.
