How to keep the phone ringing







You may be nervous about opening a second location if you think that business would be scarce.







However, it is possible for you to sustain a steady stream of clients coming into your private practices, and for that growth to be sustainable.









* Create and support a strong marketing strategy







* Boost your referrals by word-of-mouth and from fellow companies







* Building brand reputation and awareness











I have worked so hard over the last decade putting myself out there. I do a lot of public speaking; I sit on panels [and] I speak at conferences … I appear wherever I can go to build relationships in the community.
