Advanced Case Acceptance: The Patient Decision Process

Understand the sales process and the phases every patient moves through before saying “yes” to treatment

Master the Process of Case Acceptance

Every patient follows a predictable path when deciding whether to move forward with treatment. There are five distinct phases in that decision-making process. Sometimes they move through them in a single visit. Sometimes it takes multiple contacts. But if you don’t know where they are on that scale, you’re guessing instead of guiding.

You’ve likely had patients who were right on the brink of accepting treatment—interested, nodding, “thinking about it”—and then walked out without scheduling. That doesn’t happen because the treatment isn’t needed. It happens because no one recognized where they were in the buying process or what they needed next to move forward.

This course shows you how to:

Understand the five phases of a patient’s buying decision
Spot exactly where a patient is on that scale
Confidently lead them from uncertainty to a clear, informed “yes”

By learning to read and respond to each phase properly, you’ll dramatically increase your ability to get patients to accept the treatment that’s in their best interest.

Course Objectives

Understand the Five Phases of a Patient’s Buying Decision
Learn the natural progression people go through when deciding whether to accept treatment or purchase any service—and how this applies directly to your case presentations.

Identify Where Each Patient Stands in the Decision Process
Develop the skill to see hesitation, confusion, or partial agreement for what it is—and recognize exactly which phase the patient is in so you know what to do next.

Guide Patients Through the Process Effectively
Use practical, proven strategies to help patients move past doubt, fear, or uncertainty and make a confident decision in favor of their health.

Avoid Common Mistakes That Undermine Case Acceptance
Identify where treatment presentations often break down—rushing the process, skipping steps, or missing cues—and learn how to stop losing interest, trust, and acceptance unnecessarily.

By mastering The Scale of Selling, you’ll upgrade the way you present treatment plans so patients better understand them, trust your recommendations, and are far more likely to accept and complete the care they need.
