The client conversation framework has five steps.
Acknowledge · Align · Explain · Simplify · Confirm
Step 1: Acknowledge
This means you recognize what the client is feeling or saying.
“I hear you. It sounds like this feels frustrating.”
Step 2: Align
Connect with what the client wants.
“You told me you want things to feel more stable at home.”
Step 3: Explain
Explain how the next step connects to their goal.
“This appointment may help because it connects you with someone who can support the symptoms you have been dealing with.”
Step 4: Simplify
Make the next step easier.
“We can write down the number, what to ask, and what time to call.”
Step 5: Confirm
Make sure there is a clear next action.
“What is one next step you feel willing to take before we meet again?”
