Fabienne’s Story
To answer this question, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment and resulting “compelling story” that brought me to where I am today, coaching people like you on exactly what to do to get new clients consistently.
That defining moment in my life happened in late 1999. A few months before, I had quit my corporate job and had started a private nutrition practice out of my tiny apartment in New York City. I got clients right away, but not as many as I needed to pay the rent.
One day, in the middle of the night, I woke up in a pool of sweat. All I kept saying to myself is, “What have I done?! Why did I leave my well-paying corporate job just to struggle to get clients? How will I pay my rent if I don’t get any more clients FAST!?” I tossed and turned, and called my father in the middle of the night. He sat quietly listening to me. After I explained everything, he said, “Fabienne, if there’s one thing I know about you, it’s that when you want something, there’s nothing that’s going to stop you from getting it. So just figure out how you’re going to get clients, and then go and do it.”
At that very moment, I made a commitment to immerse myself in absolutely everything that had to do with getting clients. I read every book on marketing and networking I could get my hands on. I took every course that was available. I essentially decided to become a mini-expert on how to get clients.
Lo and behold, within less than 8 months, I had filled my private nutrition practice to full capacity: 31 clients.
During this process, I had an epiphany! The thing that I enjoyed MOST about my practice was actually the marketing, not teaching clients how to cook brown rice.
Soon, my nutrition colleagues heard about my success and started taking me to the side and saying “Fabienne, how do you have 30 clients in less than a year and I have only 3? What am I doing wrong? Can you help me?” I’d give them two or three things to do and told them to call me in a few weeks to tell me how it went. Virtually every time, the nutritionist called me back a few weeks later saying “Hurray! I got a new client!!!!”
I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other self-employed, sole practitioners, get more clients in record time through my workshops, products, masterminds and VIP private consulting days.
Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of private clients, spoken in front of countless groups, and have created The Client Attraction System™; a series of 10 important practice-building steps every sole practitioner needs to apply to get more clients, in record time.
