Design & Develop Your Successful Private Practice with a Business & Marketing Plan.

Three hour group: First will be a short overview of business development and marketing plan techniques. Then we work to create marketing materials and everyone will leave with a plan in place and the steps to execute their plan. This can be anywhere from defining yourself and your target market to writing a blog, website, social media or creating your next speaking engagement. I will walk you through the steps so even those with little computer experience can have a blog, website, facebook or twitter account. In this workshop we will create an online presence for you. I know it can be overwhelming and it helps to have someone direct you through it. We will do it. Come prepared with your ideas. Once you sign up for the group I will email out materials to get you started.
