How to Attract and Retain New Clients

When branching off on your own, one of the biggest questions to ask is “How can I get people through my doors to work with me?” If you don't have a plan to bring patients and clients to you, and you don't have any other ways to make income, then how will your business ever survive?

It is important to have a plan on how to bring in new clients, but it is equally important to have systems in place to have great retention. If you have 100 people come in, and 100 people never come back again, then this isn't great for business!

My Goal For You:

It is time to build a network of professionals around you who can refer people to you, and who you can refer out to if something is outside of your scope of practice.

My goal is to help you come up with creative ideas to bring people into your care, then to have systems in place to retain these clients so they feel well taken care of.

Have you ever gone to a place that felt really welcoming, and was a place you would want to continue coming back to? If you answered yes, that is what you should create with your own business.
