How to Get Clients to Say, Yes w/Dr. Alan Weinstein

Get Clients: Summary

Today’s episode focuses on how to get clients to say, yes, with effective marketing strategies for health coaching businesses. Dr. Alan Weinstein is our guest speaker that begins with a brief overview of the need to understand the business side of a health coaching venture to successfully attract and retain clients. The main points emphasized are:

Understanding the Client: The need to understand the needs, aspirations, and fears of potential clients. This means learning to understand the emotional appeal and the main factors which influence decision making. 

Making the Invisible Visible: Dr. Weinstein emphasizes the importance of lab results in communicating health issues and progress to clients. This helps in making the ‘invisible’ health issues ‘visible.’ Visualization of issues can enhance trust and inspire commitment in clients.

The Real Competition: Dr. Weinstein highlights that real competition is not other practitioners but the status quo and indecision. He explains that most people naturally tend to resist change (status quo) and avoid making definite decisions (indecision).

Navigating Fear: It is necessary to navigate the fear of clients properly. Do not use fear as a tactic, but understand and address their fear. This can lead to fruitful discussions and encourage decision-making.

Effective Communication: Reinforced throughout the podcast is the importance of communicating empathetically, understanding the individual’s needs, and demonstrating how you can cater to those needs.

People are emotional beings. So, we need to effectively market health coaching services with that in mind. We do that by understanding and catering effectively to these emotional triggers. It’s important to make the invisible visible. For instance, using lab results to demonstrate health issues, and to stop trying to appeal only to the rational side of the brain.
