Your Leads Didn't Ghost You. They Went to Nantucket.
The Labor Day Reactivation Window: How to Recover Lost Summer Leads Every summer, physical therapy leads disappear.
They fill out a form, book a discovery call, come in for an evaluation, or finish a plan of care… and then summer gets in the way.
Jeremy's point in this episode is simple:
They didn't reject you. They deferred you.
And the weeks around Labor Day are one of the best opportunities of the entire year to bring those people back.
📌 Episode Topics Why summer creates so many lost and deferred leads The 4 groups you should reactivate after Labor Day Why one follow-up message isn't enough How to turn your existing CRM into new revenue How AI can automate the entire reactivation process 🧠 Summer Leads Aren't Dead Leads Summer makes committing to physical therapy harder.
Vacations, kids being out of school, travel, and inconsistent schedules cause people to delay care even when their problem hasn't gone away.
After Labor Day, routines return.
That makes late August through September a perfect time to reconnect.
🎯 The 4 Lost Lead Groups Form, No Call: They filled out a form but never booked. Call, No Eval: They completed a discovery call but never scheduled an evaluation. Eval, No Follow-Up: They came in once but never continued care. Finished Plan, No Continuity: They completed treatment but never moved into an ongoing plan. All four groups already know your clinic.
That makes them much easier to convert than brand-new leads.
📲 Follow Up More Than Once Jeremy recommends reaching out 3 to 4 times over several weeks.
