Questions

I'm just looking for some advice as to the best way to start a coaching program for medical professionals. Do I start blogging, offer free webinars, advice and then try to upsell to the program or just start with the program as the up front offering and see if it sells before I invest time into blogging etc?

Such good answers from everyone! As a ex-doctor myself I would say that you have to really understand what they need and what they are suffering from. And then have a solution that is appropriate for them.
Then you have to know how to reach them. Do you think a doctor is going to listen to a webinar or read your blog? Not likely in my mind. However if you sponsored a dinner at your local medical county or hospital meeting and gave a live talk - that's a different story.
Growing a practice is a business like any other - yet you have to know HOW to build a practice to be able to help others. Do you? There are issues that are specific to the profession - things that you can and cannot do.
If not I would start with learning what makes the most successful practices successful! Knowing the top 10 strategies that great practices employ would be awesome and building a program around those aspects would be great.
I moved partway through my career to open a practice from scratch right next door to a guy who was going bankrupt and around the corner from one of the biggest practices in town. In 6 years I was able to sell my practice to finance my dreams. I used a combination of tactics that were a bit out of the box and it paid off. If you are creative and have good ideas that will be a help.
One thing about doctors - if you don't know what you are doing they will smell you out. So I would make sure you know your stuff before approaching anyone. :)
If I can help let me know.
Good luck! Sheri
