Hello everyone,

Autumn has gracefully arrived and cast a wonderful spectrum of rich colour all around us. Plump blackberries bursting with ripeness, clusters of hazelnuts, shiny brown conkers, a fascinating array of pumpkins and squashes, and the most gorgeous fallen leaves in all manner of shapes, sizes and shades!  

Over the next few weeks, many of you will be busy carving out pumpkins and decorating porches in readiness to delight in ghoulish behaviour with friends and family for the Halloween festivities so before you get started and caught up in all of that we bring you a ready-made melting pot of colour and goodness to delight and inspire your therapy business... 

Our partner WebHealer have now written a third article in their series which is all about helping therapists attract more clients using the web. This one focuses on making a good first impression so your website visitor doesn't hit the back button in those first few important seconds. Here’s a link to the article and look out for the fourth article due later this month – how to encourage your website visitor to connect with you when they read your website.

World Mental Health Day is taking place on Thursday 10 October 2019 and this year’s theme is Suicide Prevention. Take a few moments to think about what you as a therapist or your private practice can offer to support this campaign and help save lives. 

Using digital software to improve the way your therapy practice runs doesn’t have to mean wading through tonnes of technical garbage to discover any costs/benefits. We carry out independent reviews of therapy software products and provide you with a technical free summary on our reviews page. Check out our most recent review of Power Diary, a fully customisable practice management software system offering a FREE trial with money-back guarantee. 

We love receiving your views and comments as this helps us deliver exactly what you need for your therapy business so if you have any feedback on this newsletter or any ideas and suggestions for future newsletters, please let us know by replying to this email or telephone: 01173 250990. 

Meanwhile, I look forward to sharing more news with you next month.

Are your treatments priced correctly?
In these uncertain economic times how you price your treatments could be the difference between success and failure. This article co-written with Bob Bond, CEO of WriteUpp presents two alternate (but complementary) approaches to pricing, namely: Market Rate & Bottom-Up. It also includes a rather handy tool you can use to help  calculate what you should be charging using the “Bottom Up” approach. Read the full article here  -> How should I price my treatment?

Networking - not me... but here is a free guide!
How do you find new clients? Do you rely on your website pulling people in? Perhaps you spend hours on social media, trying to find the right things to post that will encourage people into your practice? Perhaps you’re not finding either of these online methods working very well! Well, you wouldn’t be alone and you aren’t the first! However, we’re pleased to say, there is a far more effective solution to getting new clients through your door: networking! Now, for many Practitioners, the idea of networking involves butterflies in the stomach and sweaty palms but the bottom line is this: effective and targeted networking is one of the best sources of new clients. But don’t worry – Passion to Profit have a 10-Step Check List that will help you build confidence for networking and dramatically increase your referrals. Once you’ve started seeing a return on this investment in your Practice building skills, they guarantee you’ll love the results you get! Download: Your FREE Networking Guide.
