Enterprise Consulting

Build Your Own Referral Development In-House

In a focused 10-12 hour training sprint plus two months of weekly consulting, we’ll teach your team to run the entire referral outreach system independently. Give us an extroverted team member and 30 hours of their week, and we’ll build a business development program.

What’s Included

1

10-12 Hours of Hands-On Training

We cover everything: building a referral list, the tier system, email personalization, outreach cadences, meeting preparation, nurture sequences, CRM setup, and KPI tracking. Your team member leaves with a complete playbook.

2

Custom Referral Playbook

We build a referral strategy specific to your geography, your service offerings, and your competitive landscape. This includes email templates, talking points for meetings, objection handling, and follow-up sequences.

3

Two Months of Weekly Consulting

After the training sprint, we meet weekly to review progress, troubleshoot challenges, refine messaging, and ensure your team member is hitting their targets. This is where the training becomes real-world execution.

4

Full In-House Capability

At the end of the engagement, your team runs the entire referral development system independently. No ongoing dependency on us. You own the process, the relationships, and the results.

Who This Is For

This is our best fit for practices that have the team bandwidth but need the strategy and systems. You need:

  • An extroverted team member who can dedicate 20-30 hours per week
  • A list of 250+ potential referral partners (we’ll help you build this)
  • Commitment to follow the system for at least 90 days
  • Interest in building a sustainable, in-house business development capability

The ideal team member is often an extroverted RBT or admin staff member who’s great with people and looking for more responsibility. We’ve seen practices transform by giving this person the right training and systems.

High-Value Referral Meetings

A key part of our training: how to run referral meetings that convert. The most important rule? Let them talk more than you.

When you are running high-value referral meetings, make sure they are talking more than you. You should be learning as much as you can about their company and not expecting a referral right away.

From Our Training Program

The more you learn about a referral partner, the better you can tailor your value proposition. If you find out a pediatrician works with a lot of kids with ADHD comorbidities, you can explain exactly how your ABA approach addresses those specific needs.

Is Enterprise Consulting Right for You?

Great Fit

  • • Multi-site operations across states
  • • Have an extroverted team member with 30 hrs/week available
  • • Want to own the referral system long-term
  • • Budget for $6K-$10K one-time investment
  • • Prefer building internal capabilities

Not the Best Fit

  • • Solo BCBA without staff to train
  • • Need referrals immediately (consider our Referral Engine)
  • • Don’t have someone who can dedicate time to outreach
  • • Prefer a done-for-you model (consider our Coordinator)

You’ll Learn to Measure What Matters

Marketing is behavior change. ABA is behavior change. The data tracking principles you use clinically apply directly to business development:

Leading Indicators

  • Emails sent per day
  • Response rate
  • Meetings scheduled per week
  • Follow-up touchpoints completed
  • New contacts added to CRM

Lagging Indicators

  • New referrals per month
  • Repeat referral partner conversion
  • Referral-to-intake rate
  • Cost per referral vs. cost per ad lead
  • Revenue from referral channel

Advanced Strategies We Teach

Beyond the core outreach system, our consulting covers strategies most ABA practices have never considered:

The Daycare Bounce Strategy: A daycare refers a child without a diagnosis to you. You connect that family with a diagnostician you’re building a relationship with. The diagnostician appreciates your consistent referrals. You track that family through diagnosis back to your ABA services. By far the most efficient way to leverage daycare relationships.

Chamber of Commerce: A $100-200/year membership that puts you in front of family doctors, developmental pediatricians, and community leaders who would never otherwise take your meeting.

Provider Collaboration: Reaching out to other ABA providers in your area to share resources, split training costs, and build the local ABA community. Learn more about our philosophy →

Enterprise Consulting FAQ

How long does the full training take?

The core training is a focused 10-12 hour sprint, typically delivered over 2-3 days. Then we meet weekly for 2 months to review progress, troubleshoot challenges, and refine your team’s approach.

What if my team member leaves after training?

Your custom referral playbook, email templates, CRM setup, and all training materials belong to your company. You can onboard a replacement using the same playbook. We’re also available for follow-up consulting.

Can you train multiple people across different locations?

Yes. For multi-state operations, we scope the engagement individually ($6K-$10K depending on team size and locations). Each location gets a customized strategy for their specific geography and competitive landscape.

What CRM do we need?

We typically work with GoHighLevel, but the system works with any CRM that supports pipelines, tagging, and automated follow-ups. We’ll help you set it up during the training sprint.
