This week kicked off Fiesta and I've watched two parades, one extraordinary performance of dancers and singers and have had my share of tasty treats at the local booths downtown that line the streets. Here are some flamenco dancers at the Fiesta Pequena- Children's Parade.

They were so colorful coming down the street with their dresses and flowers in their hair... you could see them coming a mile away.

Speaking of seeing people coming, in this post I share with you the importance of tracking your referrals... you'll learn why and some easy methods to help  you see exactly where your clients are coming from.

When I first began to help Practitioners years ago with their marketing one of the first questions I asked was:

"Do you know how each of your clients came to learn or know about you?"

I remember one acupuncturist I worked with sheeplishly said, 'No...should I?'

Yes! Tracking just how your client came to hear about you is so important for any Practitioner, Whetheryou're just starting out or  been in practice for years.

Why?

You'll be able to see WHO exactly is referring folks to you and importantly encourage them to continue. (I'll share in a future article how to 'reward' your those that have referred clients to you so they can continue and feel appreciated as well!)

You'll also will see what marketing methods are pulling in clients.

Was it from the f*ree teleclass you offered? Or an article you wrote? Maybe they saw you on Facebook?

Here are some easy ways to track and see exactly where you're clients are coming from.

1. Your intake form. Have a "How did you hear about me?" line so they can fill it in.
2. Your 'contact me' form on your website. You can have a field that says, "How did you learn about me?"
3. When you talk with them on the phone, you can ask them directly.

Learning and noticing who is referring clients to you and what marketing methods are bringing clients to inquire about you, is crucial and it's not hard, it just takes a simple system in place and a few minutes to follow through.

When you have a simple system to track where your clients are
coming from, you begin to work smarter and not harder.

And that's a very good thing for you and your growing practice!

Do you need simple systems in place so you can learn how clients come to you and how to keep them coming your way?

I'd love to show you how... client attraction and retention is my speciality. Click to learn how I can assist you:  http://snipurl.com/lh0ly
