Shownotes

What can you do if you're experiencing a slowdown in client enquiries and bookings? First, check your statistics to make sure what's actually happening. Next, see what you can do to improve your existing marketing. If you're fully utilising your current advertising spend, what other approaches can you take to promote your private practice? This practical episode helps you to identify ideas of how you can reach more potential clients.

In today's episode:

  • Comparing your client numbers over time can help you recognise seasonal fluctuations and alleviate doubts about your practice's success.
  • Use the summer slowdown to focus on marketing efforts and attract new clients.
  • High-touch marketing, such as word-of-mouth referrals, can be effective in reaching potential clients.
  • Overcoming self-doubt and fear of rejection is crucial in taking action to address gaps in your schedule.
  • Take practical steps, such as utilising marketing strategies and seeking support from peers, to grow your private practice.
