How would you market your seminar
Business in health care? Partner with local chamber?
Social media? Cold call? WOM referral partnership??
My services would target several home health agencies
"skilled training programs" to benefit
There employee caregivers.
I read that I can charge between
$3000-5k a month is that realistic?

    You won't make that from the seminars. You will make that(and more hopefully) from what you sell via the seminars.

    Claude does this and makes good money doing it. His niche isn't yours but he may be able to give you some helpful hints on how to sell from the stage without it being a sales pitch.

      Yes, definitely get Claude's Kindle book on Amazon. I am sure he will fill in any gaps for you. It's pretty thorough with a lot of real world advice from someone who's done it many times.

    Yes, like Aaron said, yoiu should make more than that. And get with Claude, he does this as Aaron pointed out. Claude has some YouTube videos you can check out, too. He's great on stage.

    Getting "butts in the seats" is the biggest challenge. I would market a "work shop" and keep it small -- 10-15 people.

    Yes, joint venture with other associations, businesses (CPAs, print shops, banks, payroll companies, etc.). We are actually doing a work shop next month where we partnered up with US Bank & ADP (payroll company).

    I am also meeting with the head of a big non-profit in about an hour and plan on mentioning this idea to him. I am meeting with another non-profit next week to discuss this idea as well. Nothing is set in stone for the non-profits, but it does look promising.

    I've also heard of people partnering up with private schools to do the same. I attempted this earlier this year, but didn't have much luck. I gave up to soon though.

    Find the Jay Abraham book Mindshift Challenge and read it. Twice. Study it. It'll change how you do business.

    I would also find out who could MOST use your service... and draft up a direct mail letter to send to the main person running the show.

    So, if it's home health agencies... I'd either find a list broker to grab you a list of addresses in your area, or almost every state library has a list of "who is doing business" in your state and you can usually find home health agencies there.

    There's several ways you can market to them (cold calls, in person, etc) but I've used direct mail most of the times, because of leverage.

    But most important, you HAVE to show what's in it for them... why would they send their employees to your seminar? what's the end goal and result?

    if it's customer satisfaction... focus on that. If it's helping them increase their sales and profits, focus on that. More often than not... it's the latter... showing them how your seminar can improve their bottom line.

    To clarify, your seminars would train caregivers to be better caregivers?

    If so, I would think you would be charging per seat. Probably in
    the range of $75 to $125. Then you'd hope to get 10 or so
    people per week each week.

    Contact relevant health care businesses that place caregivers,
    nursing homes, elder law attorneys, bank's trust departments,
    churches... Whoever you can think of who deals with caregivers
    and people who need it.

    Get qualified to offer relevant certifications as required or preferred
    by the industry.

    Tie in better how having better caregivers can improve a nursing
    home or caregiver placement agency.
