Are you an introvert? Do you find yourself better in one-on-situations? Does the idea of marketing your practice make your stomach knot?
Well, it is a little known fact that introverts can be the best marketing people.
Surprised? It is true!
In our Build Your Full Practice Workshop in Houston, TX on October 26 & 27, we will be discussing 17 ways to market your practice – 11 of which are perfect for introverts.
Online client attraction – it is easy!
One of the easiest ways for introverts to market a private practice is via the internet. Hundreds of thousands of people are searching for therapists online these days. That is very good news for introverts.
There are 3 simple steps to attracting clients online.
a) Get an online presence – a website, an online therapist locator listing or a blog.
b) Make sure your online presence is attractive to the client. A good website, listing or blog should show your online visitors that you care about them – that you understand their problem.
c) It should be easy for your online visitors to contact you and make an appointment with you. Just as you return your phone calls quickly, make sure you check and return email messages quickly.
d) Consider an online scheduler so that clients can make appointments with you on their own. Mark Saindon, a therapist in Portland, Oregon says he has as many as five new clients a week signing up via his online scheduler.
Don’t be frightened by technology. If it seems to complicated for you, enlist the aid of a high school or college student. They can help you to quickly get an online presence. Don’t be left out of this fabulous way of attracting clients.
Great news for the next 10 workshop registrants.

Where is the next workshop?
Also, several of you have asked me if we have plans to do the 2-day workshop in other parts of the country. While I do speak at national conferences, our next 2-day in-person workshop will be in Orange County, CA in May 2008.
Final note to Introverts
Introverts have this incredible way of getting the focus off themselves and onto the other person. This is the introvert advantage. With it, you can attend structured networking meetings, and armed with the right scripts, can make as much $10,000 from referrals from these groups.
Till next time, happy practice building!
Love and blessings,
Casey
