Do you track your client retention?
If not then it’s time to start.

If more than 20% of you new clients don’t return you have a problem. Most practitioners take this as a sign that what they did in their treatment didn’t work and the result is self-esteem plummets. Then comes price reductions, free treatments, and general devaluing leading to further self esteem damage.
In most cases it doesn’t have much to do with this at all.
