Dear Friend,

I’m going to share with you an amazing yet true story about a hypnotist went from brand-new practice to waiting list in only 6 weeks.

And after a year and 1/2 hired another hypnotist to help with all the new clients she was getting, while other hypnotists in the same area continue to worry about how to get enough clients.

If you’re a hypnotist and you feel like it’s a constant struggle to get more clients, then you’ll want to read this entire message. It might just be the most important message you’ll ever see.

Here’s why…

In January of 2011 a hypnotist with a 6-figure practice decided it was time to move.

Not just a move across town, she packed up all her worldly belongings and moved from Birmingham AL to Boulder CO.

You may know of this hypnotist, her name is Melissa Roth.

Now long distance moves are disruptive for anyone, but for a hypnotist it means starting a brand new practice from scratch.

In other words… Starting with ZERO Clients… and ZERO practice income.

But Melissa wasn’t concerned.

Because she had done this before.

Her practice in Birmingham was always fully booked even though she didn’t advertise, because as she says

​“I’ve never advertised so I really don’t know how, and I suck at it. But beyond that, I’m too cheap to do that.”

So how did she stay fully booked?

Simple!
​
She got a steady stream of referrals from medical doctors and other medical professionals.

So when she got to Boulder, she put into action what she calls her “cookbook” method for getting doctors to send her referrals.

And inside of 6 weeks, she had all the clients she cared to see (for her this is 3-4 a day on weekdays only).

And a waiting list of people wanting to sit in her chair.

But her story gets even better

Because in October of 2012, she hired another hypnotist to help her with the overflow.

And as Melissa says “I already had a full book of clients each week. This will be a great way to help this girl build a full time practice.”
Melissa has now built 2 full-time practices
in 2 very different regions of the country

Using her self-developed method of getting medical doctors to refer hypnosis clients.

What is her secret?

As a hypnotist you understand how important it is to understand your clients model of the world.

Melissa figured if she was going to work with medical professionals she had better understand their model of the world.

So she studied how doctors and hospitals do daily business

What she discovered is a consistent way to get a meeting with even the busiest of doctors.

And a consistent way to build relationships with doctors so they trusted her enough to refer their patients.

Best part…

It doesn’t matter what the doctors specialty.
​
It doesn’t matter what city.

And it doesn’t even matter what part of the world.

Because doctors offices do business the same way.

And when you understand how this works you too can meet the doctors and get them to refer to you.

However many hypnotists don’t believe they can do this.

In researching this topic, I discovered 5 common myths hypnotists have about medical doctor referrals.
Myth #1: Doctors don’t refer to alternative or complementary therapies.

Fact: Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Medical Center found that one in 30 Americans — that’s about 6.4 million people — were referred for some kind of mind-body therapy by their doctor or another health care provider.

​(Harvard University National Study, 2011 American Medical Association. Archives of Internal Medicine Vol 171 (No. 9), May 9, 2011)

​

Fact: More than 70 to 90 percent of the physicians considered complementary medical therapies, such as diet and exercise, behavioral medicine, counseling and psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy, to be legitimate medical practices. A majority had referred patients to nonphysicians for these therapies.​
(Journal American Board Fam Pract. 1995 Sep-Oct;8(5):361-6. University of Maryland at Baltimore)

Fact: in 2003, the American Medical Association published a study that said that 58% of their member physicians were interested in referring their patients to complementary therapists.

By the way, do you know the main reason MD’s said they don’t refer to complementary care more often?

Because they didn’t know who to refer to or what conditions to refer to which complementary therapist.
The reason Doctors don’t refer more often to complementary or alternative care providers is they don’t know who these providers are, and what conditions to refer!
Myth #2: Doctors are too busy

Fact: doctors are busy, but here’s a little secret Melissa discovered by studying their model of the world…

​

All doctors have time set aside in their schedule for meetings.

​

This is how business in the medical world gets done. Some have slots every day, some only one day a week. All you need to know is how to get one of the open time slots!
Myth #3: You are taking business away from the doctor

Fact: According to a 2012 study done by Association of American Medical Colleges. The USA could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years. Populations are aging around the world, and there are big trends like obesity, diabetes and anxiety increasing at alarming rates.

Fact: As Melissa points out, “Every physician of any specialty has people that they tell every day, Stop smoking. Lose weight. Learn how to get rid of the stress in your life!” The MD’s are tired of saying this and would welcome any help they can get in this area.

Doctors are tired of saying Stop Smoking!
Lose Weight! Get rid of Stress!

-Melissa Roth
Myth #4: Doctors in my country won’t refer

Fact: More than 60% of all physicians made referrals to alternative providers at least once in the preceding year and 38% in the preceding month.
(Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel)

Fact: 83% respondents had previously referred (or influenced referral) for Complementary or Alternative Medical (CAM) treatments.
(Complement Ther Med. 2004 Mar;12(1):6-16. London UK)

Fact: A study carried out in 1990 surveyed the use of ‘alternative’ therapies by Auckland GPs. Two-thirds reported they would refer patients for alternative treatment.
(New Zealand Medical Journal 103 (889), pp 213-15, 9 May 1990)

Fact: The majority of the participating GPs considered complementary approach within primary care.
(University Hospital Heidelberg, Vossstrasse 2, 69115 Heidelberg, Germany. 2008)

Fact: Hypnotists have used Melissa’s method to build doctor referral based practices in Australia, Italy, Norway, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Taiwan, & Canada.
Myth #5: ​Doctors won’t refer to a hypnotist

Doctors are thrilled and happy to refer!

-Scott Sandland

“Doctors are thrilled and happy to refer” — Scott Sandland

​

Scott should know, his fully booked practice gets referrals daily from doctors and dentists.

​

Like Melissa he understands there are big benefits from getting a constant stream of referrals from doctors. Such As…
Benefits Of MD Referrals

You don’t need to spend money on advertising
The doctor credentials you as an expert
The client comes to you pre-sold that Hypnosis will work
You can have a fully booked practice
You can charge higher fees
Large long-term potential return for a small time investment
Requires almost no money to get started
The fastest way to build a referral based practice

Doctors will be grateful for helping their patients live healthier lives

It’s a win-win and you get to spend your time working with clients… Instead of worrying about how to get them.
