THE 3 KEYS TO BUILDING YOUR HYPNOTHERAPY PRACTICE
Presenter: David A. Weiman, Psy.D.
Faculty | Objectives | Schedule | Directions
Workshop Description:
This seminar will cover the keys to building a rewarding and profitable hypnotherapy practice. The first key relates to being truly prepared to build a hypnotherapy practice that you’re going to love. We’ll cover the psychology (and science!) of goal-setting, so that you can create energizing goals to serve you far into the future. The second key is about connections with clients. We’ll review communication techniques that ensure that you’re working with clients in the most effective ways possible. We’ll also discuss how to (gently) encourage referrals during the final meeting with a client. The third key is about marketing your practice. We’ll explore a variety of highly effective tools that you can use to reach out to prospective clients with impact! We’ll also discuss how to avoid (or stop) a common “mistake” many practitioners make that confuses prospects and referral sources. Once you put these powerful ideas into practice, you will begin creating an exciting, rewarding and compelling future.
Learning Objectives: Upon
completion of the program, participants will be able to:
- Identify the values underlying their own goals and use this method with clients as well.
- Develop three methods of communicating about services that result in targeted referrals.
- Implement one new high-leverage change the day after the seminar.
