Your brief

Wellness & performanceVoice · ~5 minScored: Percentage

You are speaking with Alicia, a prospective client who is comparing wellness and performance clinics and wants pricing upfront. She is deciding whether your clinic is worth her time, so this conversation matters because a vague or overly sales-focused response will quickly lose her trust. Your goal is to answer honestly about cost, clearly explain what makes your clinic different, and move the conversation toward a consult if it feels like a fit. Keep the conversation focused, transparent, and helpful.

Why it's hard

You lose this caller the second your price answer sounds practiced. Alicia is testing for honesty, not just cost, and she will hear any sidestep as proof that getting real answers later will be even harder. The trap is sounding defensive about price-shopping when what she actually wants is a straight answer and a reason to keep talking.

  • She asked for price first
  • Other clinics are in play
  • Any sidestep sounds scripted
  • Skepticism rises fast

What good looks like

  • Answer the price question plainly, including a starting fee or honest range, and say what can only be quoted after a consult.
  • Explain the clinic's difference in client terms: what Alicia would actually get, learn, or decide during the consult.
  • Stay steady when she mentions cheaper options; acknowledge the comparison without arguing or talking down to her.
  • Offer one clear next step, such as booking a consult, and name why that conversation would help her judge fit before committing.

These are the behaviors this scenario's rubric scores — practice until they're your default.
