Worksheet: Identify Your Ideal Client

Knowing and truly understanding your clients is essential to creating a successful and profitable business. Honing in on your ideal client helps you create products and services that are needed, write better copy and focus your time and energy when it comes to marketing. This worksheet walks you through how to identify your ideal client.

This sample intake/assessment form can be used for your client’s first appointment. This example was developed specifically for health professionals who specialize in intuitive eating, work with chronic dieters and practice from a weight-neutral/health at every size perspective.

Client Discovery Call Template

Offering a free discovery session is a great way to turn a potential client into a paying customer. This template walks you through exactly how I structure my complimentary client call including specific questions to ask (and in what order) and how to make an offer at the end in a way that sounds natural and doesn’t come up salesy.

The Dietitian Entrepreneur Mastermind Retreat

Spring 2019 Registration to be announced soon!

When I first started my business, I felt very much alone. As a solopreneur, I was not only the CEO but also the sales team, product department, IT, customer support, operations…even the janitor! I had no business background to speak of, yet here I was making daily decisions that affected my business and my livelihood…all on my own. While I loved the flexibility, I felt very isolated. There was no one to bounce ideas off of, or gripe about an annoying client; no brainstorming sessions or after-work drinks. No sense of solidarity.

Which is why I created the Dietitian Entrepreneur Mastermind Retreat.

An entire weekend devoted to WORKING on your business, CONNECTING with like-minded entrepreneurs, and COLLABORATING on ideas and ways to grow your businesses. Come and be surrounded by a community of nutrition entrepreneurs who are taking risks and changing lives. This is not a big conference – I purposefully keep it small to allow you to connect and build relationships with the other attendees. These people will be your network not just during the event, but for years afterward. You’ll have a built-in support network to ask questions and get feedback on a regular basis after the retreat ends. Gain clarity and confidence in your business while making friends and having a blast. Plus you’ll get 18 CEUs!

Because going it alone doesn’t have to be lonely.
