Want New Clients?
Follow These Proven Steps to Easily Attract More Clients
with No-Stress, Easy Preparation Community Presentations.
Dear Therapist Colleague:
Attracting new clients is a challenge today. No question about it. The Internet is crowded with therapists competing for clients. The flight to the internet has opened up a huge opportunity for you to get clients from the way we used to – before the internet – by becoming better known in your community.
Speaking is the most cost-effective way to attract new clients.
In your community, there are many organizations that are looking for speakers. By offering an easy, low-stress presentation, you have the opportunity to market to a roomful of prospects – all who have the problem that you are addressing in your presentation. How is that for an effective use of your time?
But maybe you’ve tried speaking with no results before.
But if you don’t know how to get a speaking engagement, it can seem overwhelming. What will you talk about? How much to prepare? These questions will stop many therapists in their tracks. I have found that most private practitioners work too hard and prepare too much for a community presentation. Plus they leave the event wondering if they will ever get an inquiry call from anyone in the audience.
There is an easier way. You do not need to work so hard.

The steps are simple and I would love to go into depth with you to show you exactly how to do them.
Move from Frustrated, Confused or Nervous
to a Confident, Organized, and Easy Presenter.
Speaking can be fun (and profitable!) Are you rolling your eyes at that? Well, it can be easy and fun when
- you have a formula that you can employ for almost any event
- you prepare less content and have more interaction with your audience
- you reframe speaking as ‘connecting with people who need you’ and
- you have a way to manage the inevitable nerves in a way that endears you to the audience.
Let me show you how with our
How To Fill Your Appointment Book With Speaking audio program.
I created this program one year ago and want to share it again with private practitioners like you. This program will show you how to get the most (fun and referrals) from this effective marketing activity. Speaking is one of the main ways I used to build my practice – and it works today too.
Why Are Speaking Engagements A Great Way To Build Your Practice?
Speaking helps people get a sense of what it would be like to be in your office – spending time with you. We know that “attunement” is the best predictor of positive therapy outcomes. Imagine if you could give a roomful of people that sense of attunement during a community presentation? Imagine what that could do to build your practice.
Reframing a presentation as facilitating a group discussion rather than a lecture helps you to relax and creates a bond with the audience. You can be yourself. People love that.
Speaking uses the interpersonal skills you use every day. When you structure your talks in a way that allows for a lot of interaction, people get invigorated. This can be easy when you don’t try to be a ‘presenter’ but just be yourself – as you are in session.
Speaking allows you to connect face-to face. Our culture is longing for connection. Community presentations give people a chance to get out of their homes, meet with one another and with you. Providing a place for people to connect means they will connect with you too.
Speaking builds your credibility in your community. One of my objectives when presenting is to be perceived as the ‘approachable expert.’ You can do this with a ’signature talk’ and your natural curiosity and compassion to connect with the audience.
Speaking can be a very efficient use of your marketing time. Addressing a roomful of people who have the problem you help is a great way to maximize your marketing time.
Speaking connects you with potential referral sources. Give a presentation and build not only your prospect list but audience members (and the organizers) will remember you and consider you for referrals.

Gift #1. Charging Your Right Price – Without Feeling Greedy and With Your Heart in Service: a one hour audio recording from business coach (and spiritual teacher) Mark Silver.
 |
Charging money for helping people can be a very sticky topic. The people who need the help really need it, and yet you also need to be supported and do well. Is it okay to make a profit? How do you set prices so that you feel good about it, without feeling like you are abandoning your desire to be in service to people?
Plus, the big question, how can you even charge anyone anything when your best work is an inspired gift that comes through you? We will dig into the problem with sliding scales, the concept of price resonance and a heart-centered way to approach pricing. You’ll discover space in your pricing for your own needs and for your clients’. Mark Silver is the business tenderizer and Sufi spiritual nut who founded Heart of Business (http://www.heartofbusiness.com) nearly ten years ago. |
