Marketing your Private Practice with Kathy C

If you have more than 3 offers for your services or packages that people can buy from you - that might be the reason you’re not booking as many clients or making as many sales as you think you should be - and the fact is you probably could be booking more by offering less.  

This lesson might challenge previous learning about sales and marketing … but only because the “Less Offers Equals More Clients” strategy works magic when it comes to booking more clients and increasing sales.

When practice and business owners aren’t getting clients booking with them, they often try to fix this situation by adding more services and offers, thinking it will help them ensure they have “Something for Everyone!”  But the opposite tends to happen. Too many is too much for most potential clients; instead of signing them, you are scaring them away. 

This lesson will help you understand why you want to rethink that strategy of having something for everyone and what to do instead.  

Remember, the goal isn't to overwhelm potential clients; it's to entice them to want to work with you. So, let's start making your services irresistible - simple, clear, and exactly what clients want by following Kathy’s 5-step checklist to help you simplify your offers.

You’ll also learn how this change can do the same for you when Kathy shares how one of her clients used this strategy with her offers, and it worked so well that her client just wanted to know, “How do I sign up and do more work with you?” 

Tune in and get ready to start booking more clients by offering them fewer options. It really is magical!

Networking Groups and Events … you either love ’em or hate ‘em… but the fact remains they can help your practice or business grow. They can be a great source of new opportunities and new business. 

Networking is typically something people know they should do but don’t commit to as a regular marketing activity - especially when the networking groups in your area may not always fill your cup. 

This is why one of the groups I attend is one that many folks do not always see as a networking group because its main purpose is not networking!  

This week on the podcast, I spoke with Cheryl Cook, one of the co-chairs of the 100 Women Who Care Halifax Group, about what makes this group different than a typical networking group - especially since it is not even called that!  

Hit the play button to listen in and learn more about the 100 Women Who Care groups - which are all over Canada and the US - and find out how they work, and the hidden benefits women in business can get from joining their 4 meetings each year - yes only 4 events a year!   

Be sure to listen in - it will inspire you to rethink what opportunities for networking are out there - some of them may fill your cup  - and your client roster - more than you realize.

At least one time or another, most business or practice owners will take part in an event with a booth there… maybe as a sponsor or an exhibitor. 

Whatever role you have … your 'event goal' often focuses on getting new leads and making sales. 

But many folks I talk to and work with overlook the actions they could be doing to get those leads and sales. Sometimes the actions you do take… can be the worst things you could ever do at your booth! 

Instead, I want you to know the event marketing strategies and actions that help you do things like: 

• Get a jump in email subscribers on your list (New leads!) 
• Earning revenue at the event that more than covers the fee you paid to book the booth. 
• Growing your business from revenue earned months and even years to come from the contacts made at that booth. 

All of this is possible when you follow these 10 simple marketing strategies - action steps to take - that help you get that elusive ROI from your time and money invested in booking a booth at a conference or event. 

Listen in to learn these steps so you never have that “Post-Event Regret” feeling of having wasted your investment in money and time! You might even find yourself boosting that ROI much more than you imagined possible. 

Hit play to learn the 10 ways you can kickstart that boost in ROI and change the results you get from those events you participate in - especially as a sponsor or exhibitor.  

You’ll also hear some success stories of how this worked for others… and do not miss the epic action one of Kathy’s past clients did with their booth at an HR event.  It was brilliant and sooo memorable.
