Building a physician coaching or consulting business is rewarding, but without clients, it’s tough to succeed. In this episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming dives into seven free strategies to help you attract clients and scale your practice. From harnessing the power of referrals to creating a book or hosting your own event, these methods focus on providing value, building trust, and establishing your authority.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow your existing practice, Dr. Woo-Ming’s practical tips will help you shift your mindset about marketing, focus on education, and take actionable steps to connect with your ideal clients.

 

Three Actionable Takeaways:

  1. Ask for Referrals – Over 90% of clients are willing to refer, but only 11% are asked. Start asking current clients, friends, and networks to recommend your services.

  2. Build Your Email List – Send regular emails with valuable content (75% education, 25% sales) to stay top-of-mind and establish authority.

  3. Focus on One Medium – Whether it’s podcasting, writing, or video, excel in one platform and repurpose that content across other channels to maximize reach.
