Mid-Region Luncheon
Presented by Annie Schuessler
Your business should be as unique as you are. Your right-fit clients aren't the same as those of your colleagues, and neither is your ideal marketing plan. That's why private practice blueprints don't work. Ever tried something that worked for a colleague and didn’t get the same results? Yep. Your business must reflect you.Your private practice is built on two pillars: your superpowers and your right-fit clients.
Your superpowers are the set of qualities that make you who you are. They make you a great therapist for the clients you love to work with. When you know how to lean into those superpowers in every part of your business, your marketing becomes easier and more powerful.
Your right-fit clients are the people you’re here to serve. You already know how to communicate with them skillfully in sessions, and you need to learn how to communicate with them as skillfully in your marketing and content. Get rid of the jargon and get to the heart of what they need from you.
When you understand those two pillars, you’re ready to create a unique and successful private practice.
Some things we'll discuss:
- Identifying the needs of your right fit clients
- Identifying what makes you different from your colleagues (different, not better!)
- Creating a unique marketing plan
- Creating a website that stands out
- Making peace with money and setting your fees
Learning Objectives
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain what a “right-fit client” is in relation to their psychotherapy practices.
- Utilize methods to identify their unique strengths as clinicians as related to building a private practice.
Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and think about your private practice in new ways.
