Who This Client Acquisition Playbook Is For (and Not For)
This playbook is a strong fit if:
- You want to grow your PSA but feel scattered about where to focus each week.
- You have some basic outreach or marketing pieces, but not a real system.
- You like checklists, structure, and step-by-step guidance.
- You are willing to take consistent action — even if you are starting from zero.
This playbook may not be ideal if:
- You already have a mature, measured client acquisition engine with KPIs in place.
- You are not ready to commit at least a few hours per week to growth activities.
- You are only looking for one-time marketing ideas instead of a repeatable system.
What’s Inside the Client Acquisition Playbook
The playbook is structured into clear sections you can follow like a recipe: from foundation and message, to weekly rhythm, to review and refinement.
Section 1 – Foundations & Positioning
Clarify what you offer, who you serve, and why someone should choose your PSA.
- Questions to sharpen your service focus and ideal client profile.
- Prompts to articulate your main value drivers (speed, communication, reliability, etc.).
- Short message formulas you can reuse in conversations and emails.
Section 2 – Lead Sources & Opportunity Map
Identify where your clients are most likely to come from in your market.
- List of potential lead sources (hospitals, rehabs, AAAs, word-of-mouth, online, etc.).
- Simple way to rank them by importance and accessibility.
- Worksheet to choose your top priorities for the next 90 days.
Section 3 – Weekly Client Acquisition Routine
A practical weekly schedule that shows you what to do and how often.
- Suggested number of outreach actions per week (calls, emails, visits).
- Structure for batching tasks so you do not feel overwhelmed.
- Space to adapt the routine to your staffing and capacity.
Section 4 – Simple Pipeline & Stages
A basic pipeline structure for tracking prospects and opportunities.
- Suggested stages (New Lead, Contacted, Evaluation, Ready, Active, Lost).
- Notes on what belongs in each stage and what moves a lead forward.
- Ideas for using a spreadsheet or basic CRM to keep everything visible.
Section 5 – Conversion & First Call Handling
Guidance for handling inquiries when they come in — so you stay calm and organized.
- Question prompts for intake calls (phone inquiries or online leads).
- Basic structure for explaining your services without overcomplicating.
- Next-step options (assessment, follow-up, additional information) to offer.
Section 6 – Metrics, Review & Refinement
Simple numbers to watch so you see what is working and where to adjust.
- Key metrics: outreach actions, conversations, referrals, intakes, starts of care.
- Weekly and monthly review questions to guide your decisions.
- Space to record lessons and new ideas without losing focus.
How to Put the Playbook Into Action
