Growing Your Patient Advocate Business: Finding Your Niche
Program Overview:
Patient/Health Advocates often struggle with finding the clients that best match their expertise, interest, and mission. Based on their personal and/or professional experience they need to identify the clientele that meets their financial goals. How do you identify your niche? And once identified, who will pay for your services, what resources are there for help, and what do you do when a client is not a good fit? These are all some of the challenges Patient/Health Advocates face when starting their business.
Program Objectives:
- Why finding your niche is important?
- Methods and tools to identify and define the most appropriate niche for your practice
- How to determine if the client is a good fit for you?
- Ways to expand one’s ability to work with clients who may be outside your “ideal client” community.
