Frequently Asked Questions on
The Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Successful Birthing Business

1. I took your Birthing Business 101 course back in 2006. I am wondering how your new course is different from Business 101 and specifically what new content is in it.

Excellent question!

Marketing has changed a bit since 2006 when I wrote the program. Now we have some even better tools for connecting with colleagues and clients. We have social network marketing (Facebook and Twitter for example). We also have blogs which are so easy to use that a 6 year old can set it up and use it in 5 min (Yes, I tried it with my daughter last year to prove it!) I just had to cover some of that in the Ultimate Guide.

Business 101 and the Ultimate Guide couldn’t be any more different. The content in the Ultimate Guide is completely different from Business 101. It takes a completely different approach.

In Business 101, the class was focused on a creating a business plan, how to do a website, newsletter and the flyers, brochures and business cards. I also covered baby fairs.

Business 101 was a great foundation for learning about those areas. Now you can build on that knowledge.

I’ve realized in the last few years that one of the biggest problems was the limiting beliefs that my students held about money, clients, etc. So, I talk about limiting beliefs and then I’ve included a bonus CD to help clear any negative beliefs (It works very very well!)

Limiting beliefs is really only a small part of the first CD. We go into Holey Business Syndrome. Basically taking a look at your business so that you can figure out why you aren’t getting enough clients, referrals, etc. Figuring out where the leaks are in your business and how to fix them.

You’ll learn how to make yourself visible to your clients and how to attract clients once you become visible.

In the Ultimate Guide we spend a lot of time working on Educational and Relationship Marketing. Forget the hard selling. It doesn’t work. These are techniques to get people interested in talking to you about what you do in a natural way.

Ever get someone getting that glazed-over eye look when you talk about what you do? You won’t after this class. They will be chasing you to ask you more questions.

Referrals is another big part of this program. If you aren’t getting as many referrals as you’d like from colleagues and past clients, you’d definitely want to listen in to the 9 step process where I take you step by step through the “Menelli Method of Referrals” to get an abundance of referrals.

There is so much more in this course it is even hard to list it all. We talk about how to form your marketing messages, using benefits versus features to reel in prospects, leveraging resources and time and so much more.

There are 21 worksheets to really help you to “get/understand and use” what is taught. (143 pages total in the worksheet – it is also partially transcribed for those of you who love to read.)

On top of the material covered in the 6 CDs, you’ll also find the Bonus Success Circle very helpful. It is basically 4 more classes on 4 different subjects. It is 2 classes per month for 2 months.

Kim Wildner had a chance to take this entire course. Listen as Kim explains what she got out of the class:

“The Marketing Message – that is the clearest way it has ever been explained to me. I’m taking a class on the same thing – but you laid it out so clearly and concisely. The leveraging has been huge for me. It has created It feels like doors are opening up just because of that. This one speaks to the way I would want to relate to people. This augments what you taught before.”

8. How do I know if this class is for me?
If you are a doula, midwife, childbirth educator, pregnancy massage therapist, lactation consultant or most other small birthing business owner, who wants to attract more clients this class was designed for you.

If you are brand new and want to start your business faster this class will save you years of trial and error.

If you have been in business for months or years and you are not generating the type of income, type of clients or amount of clients that you’ve wanted then this program is for you.

9. Why should I take the class now?

Not only is it the ONLY class geared to BIRTHING PROFESSIONALS like YOU that will teach you how to attract more clients while working less hours. But it is RISK-FREE! Take the class. Try these strategies for 90 Days. If you are unhappy with the class for any reason, I will gladly refund all of your money – 100% of it!

Our mission is to teach you to BUILD YOUR SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. It we aren’t helping you, we aren’t fulfilling our own mission and will happily return your money.

If you don’t have a birthing practice that is filled to capacity then you are LOSING MONEY, TIME and your SANITY! The amount of business that you get WILL NOT CHANGE until YOU LEARN MORE. It isn’t worth the lost income to wait any longer.
