Exactly What I Say to Get Doula Clients to Hire Me Without Feeling Sales-y
You don't need to become "better at sales" to book more doula clients.
In fact, the harder you try to sell yourself during a doula interview, the more awkward it can feel for you and the potential client.
In this episode of The Doula Darcy Podcast, I'm sharing 6 simple phrases I use during doula interviews to help potential clients feel comfortable, confident, and ready to hire me, without ever feeling pushy or salesy.
These are phrases I've used again and again in my sixteen years of conducting doula interviews and they work because they reflect what great doulas already know how to do: listen, create safety, communicate clearly, and confidently guide someone through an unfamiliar experience.
Inside this episode, we'll talk about:
How to end an interview without awkwardly asking, "So…do you want to hire me?"
The simple question that helps clients decide whether you're the right fit
How to create urgency when your calendar is filling up without using sleazy sales tactics
Why explaining exactly "what happens next" makes clients more likely to move forward
How to communicate that you genuinely WANT to work with a potential client
Why confidently sending the contract can be more effective than waiting for permission
