Today was obviously NOT my day to get any computer

or online work done. Between lightning storms,

pouring rain, thunder and having to keep shutting

down my computer and unplugging the cable line

and taking my Mom to the dentist, it finally

cleared up enough for me to attempt to do the

ezine and WHAM! Power went out. Things are off

and on right now so I am on to get this issue

out to you and will probably spend the rest

of the eveing doing - gag me - Domestic Goddess

stuff that does not entail having anything

valueable plugged in, lol. Lucky me!

 

My latest news and tips, etc. are on my blog

Getting Clients by PULLING Them to You

by Jennifer Davey

 

 

In order to PULL clients to your business you need

to speak specifically to your target market and tell

them how your service will work for them. In other

words, let them know the results they will get.

 

One way to tout the benefits of working with you is

to turn your business features into business benefits.

 

Every business offers features to clients.

 

Features are nice, but they are more about you

and your process than about your clients.

Offering a feature such as a “one hour start up

consultation” is great, but it doesn’t let the

potential client envision how your business will

work for them. Creating benefits from features

shows clients what’s in it for them. When you let

your clients know the BENEFITS of working with you,

it’s easy to PULL them to you.

 

So how do you create a benefit from a feature?

By asking the question “Why would my client care?”

 

So let’s walk though a few examples.

 

Feature - one hour start up consultation

 

Question - “Why would my clients care that I offer

a one hour start up consultation?”

 

Benefit /Answer - The one hour consultation gives

my clients a jumpstart on getting clients.

 

Feature - my clients receive recordings of each session

 

Question - “Why would my clients care that I offer

a recording of each session?”

 

Benefit /Answer - clients can fully participate

in the moment and review the important information

we will discuss later, so they don’t miss anything.

 

Being clear on the benefits of your features

and the benefits of working with you will help

you create compelling copy that motivates clients

to take action and call you.

Protection from the FLU

 

Dr. Weil was right:

Astragalus herb really helps fight the flu (influenza)

 

Here's what the experts have to say about

astragalus and influenza...

 

Astragalus beats the flu

 

Clinical Applications: Astragalus is antiviral, carminative,

antispasmodic, and hepatic. It improves glucose tolerance

and acts as a vasodilator. In China, astragalus has been

used as an energy tonic for deficient spleen qi and yang

conditions. It has been used to treat wasting and thirsting

conditions, as well as diarrhea, fatigue, and prolapse of

the uterus. Astragalus is used to control fluids in cases

of excess sweating and to reduce fluid retention.

 

Fundamentals of Naturopathic Endocrinology

by Michael Friedman, ND

 

Other Chinese doctors have found that astragalus offers

more effective relief than the drug nifedipine (Procardia)

for angina pain. More than 80 percent of angina patients

improved on astragalus treatment without the dizziness,

giddiness, heartburn, or headache that nifedipine can cause.

 

Animal studies suggest that astragalus can help prevent

the development of cholesterol plaques after an arterial

wall has been damaged, which can keep the coronary

arteries from becoming too narrow. Astragalus also

is useful in the treatment of viral myocarditis,

a flulike infection that affects the heart.

An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds

of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies

Also, since flu vaccines are formulated based on viruses

that have caused outbreaks in the past, they may or may

not be effective in preventing flu caused by this year's

virus. Astragalus helps to build the  immune system,

and thus make you less vulnerable to the flu.

 

Take 250 to 500 milligrams in the morning three times a week

during the flu season. Note: Do not take this herb if you

have a fever. American  ginseng helps to boost the immune

system and strengthen the body. Take 200 milligrams

one-half hour before breakfast once or twice a week

during the winter months.

 

Smart Medicine for Healthier Living :

Practical A-Z Reference to Natural and Conventional

Treatments for Adults

by Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N. Spreed, MD, CNC,

James B. LaValle, RPh, ND

 

Consider taking ginseng or astragalus to promote  health,

stamina, and viral immunity. Take colostrum, beta-glucan,

and other immune-boosting supplements. Take extra vitamin C

and zinc. Follow the recommendations in this book on how to

take natural medicines for beating the flu. For frail,

older people, reduce the dosage by half.

Positive Quote

 

 

Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures,

but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have

set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed

if you persevere; and you will find a joy

in overcoming obstacles.

 

-- Helen Keller (1880-1968) American Writer
