Barriers to Getting Clients:

You’ve done the training.

You’ve got the qualification.

You’re ready to start working with clients…

But where are they?

Maybe you’re struggling to find your first clients, or perhaps you’ve already started but your client base isn’t growing as much as you’d like.

You might be wondering:

Where do I actually find potential clients?

How do I get people interested in what I offer?

Am I talking about my services in the right way?

Is something holding me back from putting myself out there?

What can I do differently to start attracting new clients?

This month’s Practitioner Hub looks at the barriers that can get in the way of building a client base, and what you can do about them.

We’ll explore different ideas around the practical, personal and business-related things that might be stopping you from attracting clients, look at ways to identify and work through those blockages, and consider some simple ways to start finding new people who could benefit from what you offer.

This is a relaxed, practical session where you can take some time to look at where you are now, what might be getting in the way and what you could try next.

You don’t need to have a large client base.You don’t need to have everything figured out.And you don’t need to be an experienced business owner.

Whether you’re newly qualified and wondering how to get started, you’ve been sitting on a qualification for a while and haven’t known what to do with it, or you’ve already started your practice and want to attract more clients, this session is designed to help you explore your options.

During the session, we’ll explore:

Common barriers to attracting clients

What might be stopping you from putting yourself out there

Different ways to start finding potential clients

How you can communicate what you offer

Ideas for growing your client base

Practical steps you could take after the session

Bring your questions, ideas and anything you’ve been struggling with. You can use the time to think, reflect and start working out what your next step could be.

£20 for the two-hour Practitioner Hub session, including a complimentary cup of coffee.

The Practitioner Hub takes place as part of Cafe In The Calm, so you’re also welcome to stay for the rest of the day, explore the event, meet practitioners and exhibitors, and enjoy the cafe area.
