Your website will be richer and more effective if it provides helpful informat Use The Right Benefit Statements on Your Website (and in All Your Marketing) To attract clients who pay in full and out of pocket for your services, it's imperative to position yourself as a helpful expert. This is true whether you are a business consultant, a beautician, a psychotherapist, a gardener, a car mechanic, a coach or a massage therapist.The experts say you need benefit statements in all your marketing – on your website, on your brochures and flyers, in your 30-second introduction and in all types of advertising. This is true.There could be so many benefit statements for your business, how do you choose?Marketing is the process of communicating to people about your product or service so they can make a purchase if they perceive they want or need it. If they are not aware of it, don't know how to purchase it or don't perceive it fulfills a want or need, there can be no sale. It's a simple fact of human behavior: People are more likely to believe that you can help them if they perceive you as an expert, which, in turn, increases the likelihood that they will hire you. For example, you wouldn't choose a car enthusiast to overhaul your engine; you'd choose an experienced mechanic. Newsletters are one of the simplest and most effective ways to establish this expertise. Whereas advertisements, fancy "me-oriented" websites and glossy "ego" brochures are all about selling-tooting your own horn-newsletters are about educating, guiding and advising, which is what experts do. Put more simply, newsletters are about helping. They become an extension of your services, a place where people get a taste of what you offer. And all the while, they keep your name before your public. They are a regular reminder that you are able and available to help with life's difficulties. Establishing an expertise through newsletters requires consistent and intentional efforts. Below are some guidelines to follow when using a newsletter to market your private practice. Fill your newsletter with helpful information that readers can use in their lives. Give suggestions, new ideas, "how to's," warnings, resources, tools or advice. You may include brief information about your services, but avoid self-promotion; keep it focused on the benefits of your services. Make the newsletter relevant. Whether it is about school bullying, managing conflict at work, healthy ways to age or reduce weight, Internet addiction, changing careers, or finding one's purpose, make the newsletter current, relevant and helpful to your audience. Send out your newsletter consistently and regularly. This builds trust and confidence that people can rely on you. It also keeps you in front of your public enough that they grow to associate you with newsletter and with the services you offer. Make sure your newsletter looks professional and includes well-written articles. A badly designed or written newsletter can actually do more harm than good, reflecting poorly on you. If writing isn't your cup of tea, or you don't have the skills to design and layout a newsletter and don't want to take the time to learn them, outsource. You don't have to do everything yourself. Send your newsletter to past clients, referral sources and anyone who inquires about your services. Also leave free copies of your hardcopy newsletter in the offices of your referral sources and other locations, such as your local library, community center or coffee shop-or wherever the people who can use your particular services gather. Use your hardcopy newsletter in lieu of a business card. Your newsletter will have everything on it that a business card does: name, contact info, logo, etc. But it gives the recipient far more of a feel for you and your services than a tiny card.

KennedyAn emergency room (ER) nurse kept hearing complaints from patients who had been waiting for hours to see a doctor. After reading The 2,000 Percent Solution, she began to keep track of how long it took various kinds of patients to get the attention they needed. She was shocked to find that those who were too sick or injured to explain their problems but who appeared to be okay sometimes waited for more than 10 hours ― even if they needed immediate treatment. This nurse shared her concerns Establishing an expertise through newsletters requires consistent and intentional efforts.
