SUMMARY:Webinar Intensive Series: How to Find More Clients with Camille Freeman
DESCRIPTION:📆 Wednesdays\, March 18\, 25\, April 1\, 8\n\n⏱️ 6:00pm – 8:00pm ET / 3:00pm – 5:00pm PT\n\n🎁 AHG Members receive $50 toward any webinar intensive! Use the coupon code found in the member discounts space when checking out for this and other intensives.\n\nJoin live or watch the recordings.\n\nAbout This Course\n\nStruggling to find enough clients to sustain your practice without feeling salesy or in over your head? Many herbalists rely on word-of-mouth\, tinker with social media\, or sign up for expensive online courses without any discernible results. It’s no wonder\, since most of us are trained in herbalism\, not in marketing.\nPromoting your practice doesn’t have to be a guessing game.\nIn this intensive\, you’ll create a simple marketing plan based on foundational business principles. We’ll clarify who you help and how to describe your work in language that’s accurate and easy for clients to understand. You’ll leave with a personalized plan for how to meet new people\, how to stay in touch with interested folks\, and how to invite them to work with you in ways that feel ethical and and aligned with your values and voice.\nThis framework works for many types of clinicians\, including introverts\, those with very limited time to devote to marketing\, low‑tech practitioners\, and those who avoid social media\, because your plan is customized for your voice\, your capacity\, and the ways you prefer to show up in community.\nBecause you can’t know what will work until you try it\, you’ll also set up a lightweight system to track results\, run small experiments\, and adapt your plan so it’s both feasible and effective for your practice.\nWith a solid plan in place\, you can stop wasting time on haphazard tactics (or feeling guilty for doing no marketing at all). You’ll know what to do each week to promote your practice and have simple data to guide your next steps. Over four weeks we’ll build a plan that’s true to your values\, time‑efficient\, and tailored to your capacity and community.\n\nTeacher Name: Camille Freeman\n\nTeacher Bio: Camille Freemaan\, DCN\, RH\, has been in practice as an herbalist and nutritionist since 2003\, with a focus on fertility\, pregnancy\, and menstrual health.
