I don't currently do a newsletter but have when I'm offering a special or just got certified in a new modality sent an email to let clients know but I just send it once. If I don't hear from them, I don't bug them. Also wanting to start a referral program. So will subscribe to this as well! Would also like any advice or tips on how to go about sending a regular newsletter and what you put in it.

Next Monday's post ...great questions, Justine! Next Monday's post (9-24-12) actually details to NOT email unless you already have a relationship with the person. <br />I'm not crazy about cold calling either. I prefer to get a mailing address and send them a postcard with an offer, or have a referral page on my website where clients can send it to their friends - and they can then signup for my newsletters & offers from there. (Totally ok to email them if they've SIGNED UP to receive emails from you!) If you do a monthly e-newsletter, you can include details of your referral program in there and make it easy for clients to forward that info on to their friends.Bodywork Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332257321735792289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250930595525972290.post-34087555439675756012012-09-22T10:57:25.166-04:002012-09-22T10:57:25.166-04:00OK so my question is- What does a therapist ask fo...OK so my question is- What does a therapist ask for? an email address? a phone #? an actual address?<br />I just asked a client for referrals and got phone #'s. <br />As a LMT, Cold Calling a client's referral is WEIRD! I'm not sure if it's just the fact of it being a cold call, or if it's calling a clients referral (whom may or may not want to be contacted about my services.)<br />of the 3 names and #s she gave me- I left 2 messages on Voice Mail, and spoke directly to one person.<br />On my voice mails I said who I was, with what business, and who the person was who gave me their info. I left it open ended for them to call me back if they were interested in more information. But even that felt pushy!<br />The one I spoke to in person- I gave the same info , and we chattd about how much her friend (my client) comes in, and I got some quick info on how often she (the referral) got massage etc. I gave prices, and info about our website so she could visit it on her own time. I also told her to talk more to my client about services, and such.<br />As it was a cold call- I really didn't want to seem too pushy by asking her to make an appt. then and there.<br />When speaking with my client to get these referrals- I reminded her to talk to the people she gave me their info and bug them to make an appt so that she could get her "referral bonus" when they came to see me.<br /><br />SO from here- what would be proper protocal? Should I call any of them a second time? Should I leave it as is? Should I have asked the one I spoke to in person for other contact info such as email?<br /><br />Learning as I go!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035891404466618902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250930595525972290.post-59175666939323127662012-08-06T18:10:04.062-04:002012-08-06T18:10:04.062-04:00ha!
