A listener seeks advice on getting started with communications consulting.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1362
Today’s listener is a medical professional by background and is starting a communications business on the side. How can she find her first clients and stand out from larger organizations?"Hi, Chris. My name is Devon from Cleveland, Ohio. And I've been listening to your show for about two years now. I am a part-time speech pathologist in a hospital and also a part-time stay at home mom. Last week, I have officially started my side hustle called Communications Connected. It's a communication consulting business specifically focused on improving communication skills for busy health care providers pressed for time. I hope to maybe launch a course in the future, but for now, I'm just focusing on providing one on one or group coaching services. I have two questions. First, how do you suggest a market to get my first clients? And then second, there are large organizations that provide similar work as me. How do I stand out among the big dogs? Thanks so much, Chris. I look forward to hearing from you."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
