5 Essential Things To Share With Prospective Clients
Before They Book A Reading Or Consultation
Updated 2021.12.07
Are you actively taking clients as an intuitive professional? Seeking new leads for your spiritual coaching business?
Having less joy than what you know is possible with the clients you are booking?
Just as there is the right teacher for every student, there is also such a thing as the right type of client for you.
Every intuitive practitioner has an ideal client base.
This suite of ideal clients consists of members of the true population of individuals on this earth, whom you came here to serve.
Your ideal client base consists of like-minded folks, who share your values, value your help, and will provide you with compensation for that help without question.
As you continue to attract the right type of clients for you, below I want to go over a few additional things you can set-up to make working with clients easier.
Below are a few things you can do to assure the right type of clients for you have the right expectations, which helps you experience better clients, who are often just more prepared clients.
5 Things To Tell Prospective Clients Before They Book With You
5. Anything they can do to prepare
Your clients want to have a good experience, and since readings are a three-way flow between three different circuits, their good participation is beneficial to the outcome.
Good participation means prepared participation and the clearer and more receptive each circuit is, the better the flow, the better the reading and the more enjoyable experience for all.
Help your client have the best session possible, by giving them just a few pointers on what they can do to better participate in the session, which could open up their capacity to be more receptive.
Which of these could help them have a better experience?
Have a notepad ready
Come in comfortable clothes
Be located in a stationary spot
Be somewhere with headphones
Turn off a cell phone
Share with your client anything that can help them have a better experience, anything from parking directions to mindset to the environment they're in.
Having a handout helps, but you can also write up a copy text, called a template, and paste it in every email exchange or within your confirmation emails.
4. The primary intuitive modality through which you receive information
Not all intuitives receive messages the same way, receive the same types of information, or deliver the information as other mediums do.
Some clients will see that someone is a medium and want a tarot reading, not realizing it's not all the same, much like the way financial advisors and accountants are often confused.
To reduce potential misunderstanding and to make sure your client knows what they are booking before they do, make sure that you make as clear as you can be with a description of your gifts and how they work, available for your clients.
This could be on your website and again, in your booking exchange emails.
3. The spiritual source of your information
How do you receive? What are the primary divination tools you use, if any?
If you are medium, where or with whom do you connect with to receive your energy? How long does it last?
If you are a medium, what types of spirits can generally be expected to be present at your sessions? If you have a specific religious faith, what is it?
While all of us, at the end of the day, connect to the same Source for spiritual information, this information is routed through many forms.
But to help your client enter your sacred space, it’s essential for your clients to know which form of energy comes through you.
Make sure your clients have a general idea of which types of spirits, which practice, or which aspect of a particular belief system you follow and connect with when performing your service.
2. How a session with you generally works
During the session itself, what happens? In my experience, no two readings have ever been the same, but by and large, there is a basic outline that I follow when offering certain services.
So what is the general time breakdown for the hour, two hours, or 90 minutes they have with you?
When you make it clear to your client how a session(s) with you is going to work, ahead of time, they’ll have a much better time being at ease for the session itself.
This is because the client’s mind won’t be engaged continuously on what could happen next, and knowing what to expect, they’ll be less disappointed by what they do receive.
Consider providing a basic general outline of certain sessions for your clients to review on your website, in your booking emails, or simply, in the 5 minute introduction before delving into the session itself.
This helps them know when they can ask questions, what happens in the last 10 minutes, etc., which can be especially helpful for those who’ve never had that specific type of session before.
1. Technical details of scheduling, recording and payment
Before a client emails or calls to book a session, you may wish to make these things clear:
Your available hours
Whether or not you do sessions on weekends
If you are available for distance work - such as readings via telephone or email
If you will record their session or if they are allowed to record
How and when they will provide you with payment
If you are available for continued work, group sessions, events or classes
The answers to these questions are often determining factors that will help a client decide to book a session with you, so it’s worth having up on your site to avoid making unnecessary back and forth with clients who may not be a perfect match.
Additionally, making this information readily available will save you countless hours of administration time, as these are the most common questions asked by a client who is interested in working with a psychic in their area.
Defining this information will also help you, too, in organizing your life and deciding what to add or remove later on as your services naturally adjust as your life changes.
