Introduction by Author
Dear Friend,
After more than 20 years in private practice, and then having
the privilege of mentoring hundreds of private practice
professionals through Relationship Coaching Institute and
MillionDollarPractice.net, I have learned five secrets and
five distinctions that are critically important to getting
clients and building a successful practice:
Distinction #1. Practice vs. Business
Your practice is helping your clients. Your business is all
the other stuff that comes with the territory of being in
private practice, such as paperwork, billing, marketing, etc.
Why is this distinction important? Most private practice
professionals prefer to work with their clients and resist
some or most business activities, which can seriously sabotage
a practice.
Recommendation: Identify business activities you resist and
find ways to implement them effectively.
Secret #1: Your business will take care of you, only if you
take care of it.
Distinction #2. Marketing vs. Sales
Marketing is communicating what you do, which will generate
prospects. Sales is converting prospects to clients.
Why is this distinction important? You can market till the cows
come home, and not get any clients! Many private practice
professionals resist selling, which becomes an obstacle to
getting clients.
Recommendation: Implement effective strategies for converting
prospects to clients that fit your values and personality.
Secret #2: Marketing, by itself, will not fill your practice.
Distinction #3. Selling vs. Enrollment
Selling usually refers to attempting to influence someone to
buy a tangible product. Enrollment is building a relationship
with a prospective client and inviting them to work with you.
Why is this distinction important? Many private practice
professionals feel like they are “selling†themselves and are
uncomfortable with the enrollment process, and as a result
struggle to get clients.
Recommendation: Reframe “selling†to “enrollment†and focus on
authentically connecting with your prospective clients, being of
service to them, and building your relationship with them.
Secret #3: Be "The Chooser." Fill your practice by enrolling
the clients you want to work with.
Distinction #4. Your Services vs. The “Real†Product
Your services are what you do to help your clients.
The real product, however, is YOU!
Why is this distinction important? You offer a very intimate,
personal service that requires your prospective client to like
and trust you.
Recommendation: Prioritize connecting with your prospective
clients and building your relationship with them individually.
Secret #4: The real product is YOU!
Distinction #5. Bluebirds vs. Boulders
“Bluebirds†are prospects that are so attracted to working with
you they almost enroll themselves become clients. “Boulders†are
prospects that are interested and attracted, but have reservations
and questions and require effort and follow-through to enroll.
Why is this distinction important? Many private practice
professionals focus on the bluebirds and don’t follow through
with the boulders. They interpret the boulder’s behavior as not
interested or ready; then struggle to fill their practice because
they don’t have enough bluebirds. Since you offer such a personal,
intimate service, many, if not most of your prospects will feel
vulnerable and experience fear, and need your support to make the
leap to hire you.
Recommendation: Design your marketing and enrollment systems for
the boulders, and the bluebirds will follow. Learn and practice
effective enrollment strategies to help boulders overcome their
fear and resistance.
Secret #5: No-one is successful alone. Just as your boulders need
your support, you need support to learn and apply the skills needed
to get clients and build your ideal practice.
Conclusion
The common theme of the above secrets and distinctions is that
private practice professionals tend to sabotage themselves by
focusing on what they want to do, and resisting what they don’t
want to do. We want to help our clients and make a difference in
the world, and don’t want to put our limited time and energy into
activities that take us away from our mission.
Well, what you resist, persists. Much of what we might resist above
can be addressed simply by reframing the way we interpret that
activity. We might hate selling, but love to connect with people
and build relationships, which is effective enrollment. If a
prospective client appears genuinely interested and attracted to
working with us, but has reservations (a “boulderâ€) that is NOT
the same as someone who is not interested in working with you, and
reframing their resistance as fear might be helpful.
It is critically important to understand that marketing alone will
not create clients, and we must identify, learn, and practice the
skills and attitudes necessary to effectively get clients. They
didn’t teach this to you in graduate school, so you must embrace
learning to get clients as the final piece necessary to your career
success. I recommend taking this as seriously as any graduate school
class or professional training and get the information and support
you need to be successful.
