Treat Your Business

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Hello everyone! Katie Bell here, and welcome back to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. Today, we're diving deep into a topic that's often whispered about but rarely confronted head-on: the importance of money in running a successful clinic. So, buckle up and get ready for some eye-opening insights that might just transform your approach to business!Episode SummaryIn this episode, I explore the critical role of financial health in maintaining and growing a successful clinic. I passionately discuss why money should not be a taboo topic and how it is essential for solving business problems and achieving personal and professional goals. Drawing parallels to the importance of oxygen on an aeroplane, I emphasise that a profitable business allows you to help more people and contribute positively to society. I share real-life examples, industry insights, and practical advice on how to shift from just getting by to thriving in your business. This episode is packed with actionable tips to help you improve your clinic's financial performance and overall success.Key TakeawaysMoney as Oxygen for Your Business: Just like oxygen is vital for survival, money is crucial for a business to thrive. Without it, you can't help others or sustain your operations.Changing the Mindset Around Money: Many in the industry feel uncomfortable talking about money, but it's important to shift this mindset and recognise that being profitable enables you to deliver better services and create a greater impact.Business Skills Over Technical Skills: Having excellent clinical skills is not enough. Successful business owners also need strong business skills. Investing in your business education is crucial for long-term success.The Importance of Marketing: Great products and services are essential, but without effective marketing, potential clients won't know you exist. Focus on building relationships and educating your audience to convert them into loyal customers.Customer Acquisition and Retention: Understand the different stages of the customer journey—prospects, leads, and customers—and tailor your marketing strategies to address each stage effectively.Building a Sustainable Business Model: To achieve financial freedom and personal fulfilment, it's important to create a business model that supports reasonable working hTreat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by MBST, the groundbreaking technology revolutionising recovery and rehabilitation.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Katie here, welcoming you back to another episode of the Treat Your Business podcast. Today we delve into the importance of visibility for your clinic or studio. Buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a journey to ensure you’re seen not just seven times, but twenty or even thirty times by your potential clients. Episode SummaryIn today’s episode, we explore the critical topic of visibility and why being seen consistently is crucial for the success of your clinic. Drawing from personal experiences and real-world examples, I discuss how frequent visibility impacts client recognition and business growth. We also examine various strategies to enhance your presence, ensuring a constant flow of leads into your business.Key TakeawaysThe Rule of Seven: Traditionally, it’s believed that a person needs to see your brand seven times before they take action. However, due to the increasing volume of information, this number has risen significantly.Consistency is Key: Sporadic efforts do not yield results. Whether it’s social media posts, Google Ads, or collaborations, maintaining a consistent presence is essential.Multi-Layered Marketing: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your marketing strategies to include both online and offline efforts.Know Your Audience: Understanding where your ideal clients spend their time helps in targeting your marketing efforts effectively.Track and Adapt: Always track your marketing efforts to identify what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your strategies based on this data.Real-World Examples: Hear about the diverse strategies we’ve implemented at our clinic, from sponsoring local events to collaborating with golf clubs and running online ads.Impactful Messaging: Your marketing message should resonate with the needs and desires of your clients. Avoid jargon and focus on the benefits they seek.Learn from Failures: Don’t be afraid to fail. Each failure is a learning opportunity that brings you closer to success.Remember, being visible in your community and online is not just about putting up a flyer or posting on social media sporadically. It’s about showing up consistently, understanding your audience, and adapting your strategies to stay ahead.
