Defining

  • Defining your brand script: this is essentially your elevator pitch. Define exactly and clearly what it is that you do, and how it can help someone.
[Your brand script] is the set of words that you use to describe what you do, and how you benefit the person that is listening. (Bear Wade)

  • Define your brand identity: this is your brand style guide, the document that contains every aspect of your marketing aesthetics, from font to color.
  • Express your brand media: collect testimonials from people who you have helped to help you boost your brand.

Building

  • Set out your pricing structure
  • Defining your online platform: a clear, easy-to-remember domain name, a website, and social media channels that look similar to build cohesion and trust.
  • Organize your print media

Growing

  • Keep track of your customer lists: people are more likely to work with you again if they have already purchased from you before.

Keeping your customer lists and [continuing] to communicate with them and support them is very helpful, so you want to make sure that you have that database. (Bear Wade)

  • Define your lead-generation spigot: how are people finding you, and how can you connect with more?
  • Describe your campaign initiative

Ongoing

Now you’ve defined what you’re doing, you’ve built it, you’re growing, now it is just about maintaining it. (Bear Wade)

  • Establish your content pipeline and roles: who is making the content for your practice? Who is proofing and posting the content?
  • Demarcate your content schedule: establish your content creation and stick to your schedule. How often are you going to send emails and post to social media?
[Your content schedule] is really up to you. You can do it once a day or once a week, whatever that is, just defining that with your team is very helpful. (Bear Wade)

Scaling

  • Analyze what is working: focus on your strengths, and reevaluate or change things that are not working well yet.
  • Define your project management system: how do clients book with you, how do you run your sessions, and how do you follow up with clients afterward?
  • Hire employees, train them, delegate to them, and monitor their progress.

Bear’s advice to private practitioners

Focus on the order in which you are building your practice. Doing your steps in order will save you time, and money, and save some business heartache.
