What you’ll learn from this episode:

Strong relationships are crucial for converting observers into clients. Engage in conversations, ask questions, and show empathy to nurture connections.

Starting Locally: When you're just starting, leverage your existing network of friends and family. Shift conversations with them to include nutrition topics or ask for referrals.

How to create a content calendar outlining your strategy for regular posts, videos, or lives. Consistent content helps maintain engagement with your audience.

Practice active listening in conversations. Aim to speak 10% less and listen more. This builds trust and connection with potential clients.

Build relationships with local specialists, practitioners, or professionals who can refer clients to you. Understand their clients' needs and offer solutions.

Be aware of legal implications and compliance regulations, especially regarding referral programs. Avoid kickbacks and ensure your practices align with local laws and professional standards.

Understand the rules regarding testimonials based on your location. Ensure your marketing practices, including testimonials, align with ethical standards and legal requirements.

Ultimately, success in sales and business growth comes from practicing empathy, caring for clients, and providing quality services. Building relationships with intention can lead to sales and referrals.
