Mastering Patient Advocacy Sales: Your Clients Need Your Voice
Let's get real: If you're struggling with sales conversations, it's not because you're "bad at selling." It's because no one taught us that selling is actually an extension of advocacy itself.
Here's the truth: Every time you hold back from confidently sharing your services, someone who needs your help continues to struggle alone in the healthcare system.
The Truth About Healthcare Advocacy Sales
Why Sales Resistance Hurts Your Mission
Remember our core belief: Selling is serving. When you truly understand this, everything shifts. Your sales conversations transform from "convincing" to "connecting," from "pushing" to "providing clarity."
Understanding the Value of Your Advocacy Services
Remember, "Your knowledge is valuable, and your work changes lives. If people don't understand your value, they won't hire you – and they won't get the help they desperately need."
Transforming Patient Advocacy Objections Into Opportunities
Common Healthcare Advocacy Price Objections
When a potential client says:
- "It's too expensive" - They're really saying they don't yet understand the cost of not having an advocate
Addressing Decision Hesitation
When a potential client says:
- "I need to think about it" - They need more clarity about how you can help
Overcoming DIY Healthcare Navigation Mindset
When a potential client says
- "I can handle this myself" - They don't realize the complexity of what they're facing
These aren't rejections – they're invitations to serve more deeply.
The Feel-Felt-Found Framework for Patient Advocates
Building Authentic Sales Connections
Instead of shrinking when objections arise, try this proven approach:
- "I understand how you FEEL..."
- "Other clients have FELT the same way..."
- "What they FOUND was..."
Empathy-Based Sales Conversations
This isn't manipulation – it's empathy in action. It's showing up for your potential clients the same way you'll show up for them as their advocate.

Tracking Your Advocacy Sales Journey
