Getting Clients How-To: The Return!

Elizabeth Genco · 09-01-2008

Hi everyone,

As some of you probably remember, I'm working on a product to help Tarot readers and other intuitive solo-preneurs (astrologers, psychics, etc) market their businesses. A few months ago, I recorded a test run of a product and posted here to get some feedback. I got a great bunch of volunteers and some awesome comments on the product. Huzzah!

Since then I've been doing more research and have uncovered even more effective business-building techniques. The finished product will be much more streamlined and easier to follow in a lot of ways. My goal is to have it ready to go for The Readers Studio in April, where I will be giving a workshop on marketing.

I'm coming to you now with 2 requests:

First, I'd like to hear what you need in a product like this. I got some great info in the first round, but because I really want this to be useful, I'd like to dig a little deeper and hear from more voices. I've prepared a 10-question survey, which you can find here:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...LbpAh9XQ_3d_3d

I usually give something away in exchange for help like this - it's a value exchange! But not having anything to give away this time, I'd like to do the following to thank you for your help: I'll donate $5 for each completed questionaire to The Humane Society (up to $100):

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...LbpAh9XQ_3d_3d

If you are a professional reader or are seriously aspiring (ie, you have plans to start your business in the next year) and can spare a few moments to answer the questions, I would be incredibly grateful.

(IF you reviewed the original product, don't worry - you still get all updates for free as promised!)

Second... and this one is a little bigger...

I'm looking for a volunteer (possibly two) to actually put some of these techniques into practice and track their results. This actually requires time (not a lot, but some) AND a willingness to speedily implement the techniques. I've designed this stuff to be as painless as possible (and especially hype-free) but it still requires a comfortableness with marketing (including actively asking for referrals), a deep desire to build your business, and a willingness to do the work. NO scarcity mindset or insecurity with charging - mindset is REALLY important here. If you're hesitating, it's not for you. If your mindset isn't there, marketing will not work.

You'll be working one-on-one with me; I'll work with you to create a strategy and some copywriting. I envision the whole she-bang taking about a month. So, fast implementation, fast results. (That's the idea, anyway!)

The only other requirements is that you be in a medium-to-large urban area and already have a business going where you're giving at least 2 paid readings per week.

So, once more, here's the survey:

If you're interested in the one-on-one, please drop me a PM! Please include any websites or online sites (Myspace, etc) you currently use to market your business.

Whew! Another long one. Thanks for reading, everyone!!

my best,
Elizabeth

I answered your survey today. No troubles with it. I would like to know more about what you are offering. I just started my private practice in October 2007. Let me know when you have more to share!

memries · 10-01-2008

I answered it as well. Not sure effectively but done anyway.

**satinangel** · 11-01-2008

I also answered your survey.

Hope the informations helps you!

Elizabeth Genco · 12-01-2008

Thanks everyone who has answered the survey so far -- it's a real help to me. If I'm gonna do this thing, I want to be sure to focus on what you need most. That's why I'm out here with the surveys and the testing. So thanks!

I also have a few volunteers for the one-on-one. Thanks to those who inquired about that too. I'll be getting back to each of you soon.

I did the survey, too- although I'm in the UK, so not too sure how useful mine will be.

Just completed your survey. Good luck with your endeavours.

Elizabeth Genco · 30-01-2008

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who filled out my survey. I got a total of 14 responses. I'll be putting a check for $70 in the mail to The Humane Society this week.

I know I've been slow on the uptake with PM's. I'll be responding to all of you very soon.

Thanks again!
