In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most important topics for veterinary practice owners and managers as we head into 2025: how to build a predictable, measurable, and scalable client acquisition system. If you've been feeling the pressure from economic uncertainty, changing pet owner behaviors, and the ever-growing competition from corporate groups, you're not alone. I know firsthand how stressful it can be when your appointment book is packed one week and then unexpectedly quiet the next. The days of “if you build it, they will come” are long gone, and it's time to get proactive about filling your schedule with the right clients. In this episode, I break down the three pillars that every modern veterinary practice needs to thrive: targeting, tracking, and scalability. I'll walk you through how to identify and attract your ideal clients—those who truly value your services and fit your practice culture — using data from your PIMS and advanced targeting tools. We'll talk about how to make your marketing efforts measurable, so you know exactly which campaigns are driving results (and which ones aren't), using tools like call tracking, UTM parameters, and Google Analytics. And most importantly, I'll share strategies for scaling your client acquisition so you can grow your practice predictably, avoid the feast-or-famine cycle, and respond quickly to slow periods with confidence. Whether you're just starting to build your marketing system or looking to refine what you already have, I'll also cover common pitfalls to avoid — like overcomplicating your campaigns, relying on gut feelings instead of data, and missing out on key tracking opportunities. By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable steps to audit and improve your client acquisition process, plus expert recommendations to help you future-proof your practice. So grab a notebook, tune in, and let's get your veterinary practice set up for measurable, sustainable growth in 2025 and beyond!
Thinking about going 100% referral-based? In this episode, I'm breaking down why that might not be realistic for most businesses. I'll explain the importance of diversifying how you bring in clients and why referrals should still be your main focus. Plus, I'll dive into the deeper meaning behind receiving referrals and how they can boost your confidence as a business owner.

We welcome our latest guest, Jessica Rhodes — founder of Interview Connections (pioneer podcast booking agency), to the show! She joins us to share how podcast guesting helps health coaches attract clients, monetize content, and build authority—plus practical steps to start now. In this episode, Jessica breaks down why guesting is the fastest path for health coaches to create content, grow visibility, and generate leads—especially when your best ideas surface through Q&A conversation. We cover when to host vs. guest, how to monetize (funnels, CTAs, affiliate marketing, repurposing), and why the green-room connection (before/after the interview) often drives real business. Why this matters for health coaches Complex, personalized services convert best through conversation, not scripts. Guesting = low-lift content creation + instant authority via borrowed audiences. Hosting builds a home base; guesting builds reach. Use both strategically. Key takeaways Start as a guest to clarify messaging; then consider launching your show. Treat your podcast (hosted or guest spots) as part of a marketing funnel: problem → value → clear CTA every time. Monetize beyond ads: affiliate offers, service enrollments, lead magnets, networking with hosts. Repurpose every interview: short clips, reels, emails, blogs—one appearance = weeks of content. Leverage the green-room chat (off-air). Relationships there often become clients, partners, or affiliates. Follow demand: pitch shows where your ideal buyer already listens. Action steps (do this next) Define one offer + one CTA you'll use on every interview. Draft 5–7 signature questions you answer brilliantly (and suggested questions for hosts). Create a repurposing checklist (clips, quotes, newsletter, LinkedIn/IG posts). Build a simple booking page/lead magnet to capture interest from episodes. Pitch 5 aligned shows this week—or work with a specialized podcast booking agency. Host vs. Guest — equal power, different benefits Guesting: Audience growth, authority by association, faster lead gen. Hosting: Consistent nurture for your list, message control, deeper brand assets. Monetization quick hits Funnel-first: every episode points to one next step (quiz, call, free training). Affiliate marketing works with small but engaged audiences. Track results: appearances → traffic → email signups → sales. Support the show Rate/review on Apple Podcasts and share with a coach who needs a guesting strategy.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Rode Dog tackle some of the most pressing questions facing business coaches: how to harness AI (like ChatGPT and Grok) to grow your coaching practice, which industries are likely to be safe from AI disruption, and where exactly to find—and close—high-end coaching clients in today's dynamic business landscape. Karl also unpacks the art of closing with confidence, breaks down a powerful Zen-inspired mindset shift, and explains why product quality is the domino that knocks down all other business challenges. Key Topics Covered AI Prompt Engineering for Business Coaches Karl shares how specificity and defining context are vital when prompting AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok. He walks through advanced examples of framing prompts to get world-class business advice personalized to your ideal client and circumstance. Industries Resilient to AI Disruption The conversation covers which industries are least likely to be “decimated” by AI over the next decade. Empathy-driven sectors—like coaching, healthcare, and education—are less vulnerable to automation, along with trades (construction, home services), fine arts, government, and cybersecurity. Where to Find High-End Coaching Clients Karl details actionable strategies to uncover business owners ready to invest in coaching, such as: Targeting businesses actively spending on advertising, new award nominees/winners, and recent chamber of commerce members. Building relationships with the people who sell advertising, chamber memberships, and run award programs—offering referral incentives to tap into fresh, motivated prospects. Approaching businesses for sale, as they often desperately need systematization and profit optimization to become sellable. The Art of Closing Clients (with Scaled Pricing) Karl shares his proven “scaled pricing” hack: rather than cutting your fee, start clients at a low monthly rate and gradually increase once trust and value are established, making it easy for new clients to say yes—while still closing at top-dollar over time. Product vs. Sales vs. Marketing: The Navil Ravikant Framework A key insight: most problems in sales and marketing are really product problems. If your product is “world-class,” word of mouth will eventually outshine all marketing efforts. Karl urges coaches to aim for such client outcomes that competitors end up sending you leads. Zen Wisdom for Coaches: The Myth of a Happy Life Karl closes the episode with a reflection: a happy “life” doesn't exist—only happy moments, created one present instant at a time. Drawing parallels to AA's “one day at a time,” he challenges listeners to focus on moment-to-moment progress for lasting fulfillment. Notable Quotes “Prompt engineering is everything. Get insanely specific—and define your ideal client and circumstances in your AI prompt for killer results.” “Empathy and connection are your moat. AI accelerates, but it cannot replicate genuine human mentorship.” “Don't chase only new revenue—chase profit. Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” “If you can't close at your fee, don't discount—use scaled pricing... get the yes with a low commitment and ramp up.” “People sacrifice what they want most for what they want now. That's a bad trade.” Actionable Takeaways 1. Become a Prompt Engineering Pro: Level up your AI game by defining who is answering your question, who your client is, and exactly what you want—test and refine prompts for actionable advice tailored to your needs. 2. Focus Where Clients Spend to Grow: Target business owners already investing in advertising, awards, or memberships—they've shown intent to grow and are prime for business coaching. 3. Build Referral Pipelines With Influencers: Cultivate relationships with those selling ads, chamber memberships, and awards—often overlooked, they'll gladly refer for a meaningful incentive. 4. Use Scaled Pricing to Close With Confidence: Instead of slashing your coaching fee, start with a low rate for the first month and ramp up; this reduces buyer risk and makes it easy for prospects to commit to a high-value engagement. 5. Double Down on Empathy, Not Just Tactics: Lean into the human side: your ability to connect, understand, and support clients will future-proof your practice in the AI era. 6. Build a Product Worthy of Referrals: If you had to grow exclusively through referrals, how would you reshape your service and delivery? Design a “product” so good, it sells itself. 7. Don't Aim for a Happy Life—Aim for Happy Moments: Prioritize meaningful daily wins and present-moment focus over the impossible chase for constant happiness.

In this episode of The Clinic Boss Show, host Rick Lau sits down with Michelle from Play On Pediatrics, who scaled a 3,000 sq ft pediatric clinic into a thriving 20-provider powerhouse in under three years. Michelle shares how she and her business partner took a $350K leap before seeing their first patient, why they hired a full-time office manager before opening day, and how they filled their caseloads without spending a dollar on ads. She breaks down her grassroots doctor marketing playbook (including what to say during lunch & learns), the reason they don't allow online booking for new patients, and how they turn social media into a global recruitment engine. You'll also hear Michelle's play-by-play on how they mentor and retain top pediatric clinicians, how her front desk team drives conversions (not just admin), and how tools like CallHero, Jane, and Google Drive run the clinic like a machine.

In this episode of the Veterinary Marketing Podcast, I'm diving deep into what it really takes to run successful Facebook (Meta) ads for your veterinary practice. Over the past decade, I've managed millions of dollars in ad spend for local businesses, and I've seen firsthand how tricky Meta ads can be for vets. Unlike e-commerce, where you can track every sale, veterinary services have a much more complex path from ad click to booked appointment. That's why I'm breaking down the real-world strategies, common pitfalls, and proven tactics that actually work—so you don't waste your budget or your time. We'll start by talking about why Meta ads are uniquely challenging for veterinary practices, especially when it comes to tracking results and building the right marketing infrastructure. I'll share why organic content is absolutely essential before you ever spend a dollar on ads, and how to use Facebook and Instagram as top-of-funnel platforms to build awareness and nurture potential clients. We'll also cover the impact of iOS 14 privacy changes, how to set up tracking properly, and when Facebook ads are (and aren't) a good fit for your practice. Plus, I'll walk you through audience targeting, creative strategies, budgeting, and the importance of testing and iterating your campaigns. To bring it all together, I'll share real-world success stories from practices that have launched grand openings, promoted events, and introduced new services using Meta ads. We'll also talk about the long-term growth strategies you need—like CRM integration, email nurturing, and retargeting—to turn leads into loyal clients. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear roadmap for using Facebook and Instagram ads effectively, with actionable steps you can start implementing right away. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your ad campaigns to the next level, this episode is packed with insights to help your veterinary practice grow.

Learn how to scale beyond seven figures using podcast-driven growth Everyone's chasing the latest marketing tricks while I've been watching smart business owners quietly use one simple strategy to close huge deals. In this episode, I sit down with Tom Hunt to share the truth about B2B podcasting that most people get wrong. We talk about how his 11th podcast guest became a $2M client before the episode even went live, why 97% of your prospects aren't ready to buy right now, and the 7-hour rule that can cut your sales time in half. This isn't about making content - it's about making money. Tom Hunt runs Fame, the B2B podcast company that helps businesses like Gong, Canva, Paddle, and Zendesk grow behind the scenes. He found this secret while working in marketing and turned it into a simple system that turns every podcast recording into a sales meeting. What I love about Tom is he doesn't just talk about making money from podcasts - he shows you exactly how to turn your show into a machine that brings in clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The real money in B2B podcasting comes from your guests becoming customers, not from building a huge audience of listeners. You can get ROI from podcasting in the short term by inviting potential customers and partners as guests on your show. 97% of your market isn't ready to buy right now, so you need a strategy to capture them when they are ready to purchase. Consumption drives conversion - prospects who consume 7+ hours of your content are much more likely to buy from you. One podcast episode can create weeks of content across social media, email, and other marketing channels. B2B podcasting is the hardest content to grow but the most valuable because you get 30-60 minutes of someone's undivided attention. Before you focus on getting more leads, fix your customer retention first because keeping clients is the foundation of growth. The best podcast positioning combines a clear niche (who you serve) with a unique edge (what makes you different from everyone else). Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Ever wonder why some coaches seem to effortlessly build successful practices while others struggle despite having the same skills and motivation? The answer might surprise you.It's Not About WillpowerWhat looks like a lack of willpower is often something completely different. Coaches who appear to stick to good habits with ease aren't necessarily more disciplined – they're benefiting from something most coaches overlook entirely.Here's the reality: effective client acquisition involves learning marketing strategies and implementing them consistently. But that consistency becomes exponentially easier when you have one crucial element in place.Why Good Intentions FailMany well-intentioned coaches try to create support networks with other coaches. While the intention is admirable, there's a fundamental flaw that explains why the coaching industry has such a devastating 80% attrition rate.The problem isn't lack of ambition or coaching ability. Most coaches in informal support groups rely on outdated strategies like giving away free sessions, networking without strategy, and endlessly talking about their businesses without targeted action.If these approaches actually worked, that shocking failure rate wouldn't exist.The Game-Changing DifferenceSarah reveals what the Coaching Revolution was deliberately designed to include – and why it works when other approaches fail. She breaks down the specific elements that create an environment where coaches don't just learn marketing principles, but actually implement them consistently.There's also a key differentiator that sets this community apart from every other coaching support system out there.A Remarkable CommunityAs one member recently shared: "I have never ever felt this supported in anything I've done. This community is remarkable."In this episode, Sarah explains exactly what makes this environment so effective and why the right support system can be the difference between struggling alone and building a thriving coaching business.Ready to discover what you might be missing in your current approach?Have you enjoyed this episode?

Are you busy with your coaching business but not seeing clients? You're not alone. Most coaches mistake activity for progress, spending time on tasks that feel productive but don't actually generate clients.The Reality Check: Posting generic content about coaching, endlessly tweaking your website, and networking with other coaches isn't marketing—it's passive activity disguised as strategy.Why Most Coaches Struggle with Client AcquisitionThe biggest barrier isn't tactical—it's psychological. Success in client acquisition starts with accepting two uncomfortable truths:What you're currently doing isn't workingYou don't know how to fix it (yet)This takes courage, especially for successful professionals who assume business development should come naturally.The Coaching Culture ProblemThe coaching industry has created some damaging myths:"Good coaching sells itself""Marketing is sleazy""If you were good enough, clients would just come""Focus means missing opportunities"The Bogeyman Myth: The idea that terrible coaches with great marketing are stealing your clients. Sarah's been looking for these mythical figures for eight years—they don't exist.What Active Client Acquisition Actually Looks LikeA real client acquisition process is focused, strategic, and repeatable. It includes:The Marketing Foundation:Choosing a viable, credible audienceDeveloping a detailed ideal client avatar (ICA)Identifying real, urgent problems your audience facesCreating messaging that demonstrates both authority and empathyConsistently publishing targeted contentThe Niche Nightmare (And Why It's Worth It)Narrowing your focus feels like closing doors, but it's actually opening the right one. More reach doesn't equal more clients—it equals less clarity. When you focus, you give people a door they can recognise and walk through.The Bottom LineClient acquisition doesn't just happen—you build it slowly, consistently, and strategically. Without a process to generate clients, you don't have a business. You have a hobby.Once you accept that client acquisition is a learnable skill, everything changes. You stop guessing, stop chasing, and start attracting the right people with the right message.Have you enjoyed this episode?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rhys, a veterinary practice owner from Vancouver who brings a unique perspective thanks to his background in hospitality and his passion for building businesses that can thrive without the owner being tied to every detail. We dove deep into what it really takes to transform a veterinary practice from a self-employed job into a scalable, sellable business. Our conversation covered everything from the importance of building robust systems and standard operating procedures, to leveraging data-driven management and authentic marketing that truly reflects your practice's identity. Throughout our discussion, Rhys shared actionable strategies for veterinary professionals who want to attract, engage, and retain clients—while also reclaiming their time and sanity. We talked about defining your mission and vision as the foundation for all your systems, the necessity of SOPs for consistency and delegation, and how to use key performance indicators (KPIs) to proactively manage your practice. We also explored pricing strategies that balance value and affordability, and the critical importance of client retention and lifetime value. Reese even provided a toolkit of resources and calculators to help practice owners make informed decisions about hiring, budgeting, and pricing. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your established practice to the next level, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-world examples. We wrapped up by discussing how to adapt to the future, especially with the rise of corporate competition and shifting market dynamics. My goal with this episode is to give you the insights and tools you need to build a veterinary practice that works for you—not the other way around. If you're ready to create a business that can run (and grow) without your constant presence, you won't want to miss this conversation!

Most people treat LinkedIn like a billboard, a place to update their resume or tout their career achievements. Corina Calugaru turned it into a $130,000-per-quarter sales engine instead. As the founder of The Orange Notebook, Corina helps entrepreneurs with their brand identity and business strategy—but when her own lead pipeline was moving too slowly to create scale, she knew content alone wouldn't cut it. After getting scammed by a lead gen agency and seeing minimal traction from organic posts, Corina took control. She spent six months manually DMing prospects for hours a day on LinkedIn, refining her messaging and building a high-converting outbound process. Within a year, she automated her outbound messaging system, tripled her lead volume, and created a repeatable framework to close $3K–$5K clients consistently. This case study breaks down the exact tools, scripts, and strategies that transformed her LinkedIn from passive platform to active profit center—so you can do the same. Thank you to our sponsor!

It's easy to get caught up chasing likes and followers, only to realize none of it's actually moving the needle in your business. Social media can feel like shouting into a void—constant posting with little return. The real frustration kicks in when you see attention but not action, interest but no income. Most of the time, it's not about doing more, but understanding what actually makes people stop, trust, and buy. Without that clarity, all the noise just becomes more weight on your shoulders. Lindsey Anderson has redefined how entrepreneurs use digital tools to attract clients and grow online. With two decades of experience and a sharp focus on results, she's built a system that turns social media into a consistent lead generator. Today, she breaks down how AI, especially tools like ChatGPT, can streamline content creation and boost client acquisition. Her message centers on taking radical responsibility, building smart systems, and showing up with a clear plan. It's not about chasing trends—it's about using the right tools with purpose.

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I'm delighted to welcome back Leah Neaderthal, a sales coach for women consultants and the founder of Smart Gets Paid. We talked about the shifting landscape of client acquisition in the US, particularly in light of the political and economic climate of 2025, focusing on the importance of resilience and maintaining a positive mindset. We shared personal anecdotes and strategies for overcoming external challenges, encouraging you to stay focused on your goals while fostering a supportive, growth-oriented environment. In This Episode: [00:00:00] Leah shares her journey from corporate marketing to becoming a sales coach for women consultants. [00:03:30] Discussion on narrowing down the niche and discovering a target audience. Leah explains her evolution in focusing on women consultants after initially targeting small businesses. [00:07:12] Leah shares her experience with changing her hair color to grey during the pandemic and its significance, reflecting on the impact of hair color on self-perception and business identity. [00:12:52] Evolving client acquisition strategies in 2025 and how political and economic changes influence client perceptions and business strategies. [00:15:13] The importance of providing a supportive environment for clients amidst uncertainty. [00:16:17] Leah encourages business leaders to maintain a positive outlook and drive forward despite challenges. [00:17:28] Jessica shares her experience of facing a challenging year in 2020 but ultimately growing her business significantly. [00:18:42] Discussion on how negative narratives can hinder business success and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset. [00:20:05] Exploring how entrepreneurs can adapt and respond effectively during crises instead of succumbing to fear. [00:22:04] The need for a relentless approach in achieving business goals, moving beyond mere trust in success. [00:25:10] The importance of positioning services as essential solutions rather than optional benefits during uncertain times. [00:29:08] Tactical advice for consultants to leverage their insights and adjust offerings to meet the immediate needs of clients. [00:33:49] The power of resilience among entrepreneurs to navigate challenges and maintain control over their business outlook. [00:35:23] Insights on how many consultants thrived during the pandemic despite initial fears and the need for proactive women consultants to succeed in changing markets. Key Takeaways: "Be a Painkiller, Not a Vitamin" - Position your services as essential problem-solvers, not just nice-to-haves. Clients still invest in urgent, high-value outcomes, especially during uncertain times. Leah's watchword of this year is ‘relentless' - not just trusting goals will happen, but actively and consistently pursuing them with drive and purpose. Fear-based narratives can hold you back. Instead of waiting or shrinking your goals, move forward with intention. Your mindset shapes your results. When you show up authentically, your business thrives. Clients respond to real, confident leadership. Quotes: "I think it's a really amazing opportunity this year to play the mindset game of our lifetimes, because that's the opportunity, isn't it? That comes when the world is just a little bit unpredictable." - Jessica Fearnley “On a number of levels, there is some fear, of course. There's some grief. There's some rage. And I think our responsibility and our opportunity as the leaders of the spaces that we hold is to let that come out and create a safe space for that. And yet, I love what your members are saying, which is ‘I want to also hold this space as a space where we don't have to wallow in it', because I think that it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” - Leah Neaderthal "We don't always need to make it like an all or nothing where the only options are survival as if nothing's happened or complete catastrophe. Often it's a matter of degrees. We can course correct. If we can't be agile as entrepreneurs and consultants, then honestly, who can? We have this ability to change things." - Jessica Fearnley "A lot of women out there are talking about their work in what we might consider a vitamin, not a painkiller. Everybody knows they need to take their vitamins, but if you go to the store and you forget your vitamins, you'll just pick them up next time. Whereas if you have a real pain, you will go to the store and you will get pain relief, because you're solving a pain in that moment. That's how we need to be thinking about how we position our work, especially right now because clients will solve their pain, but they will not purchase a vitamin." - Leah Neaderthal Useful Links Leah: Leah's website - SmartGetsPaid.com Smart Gets Paid Podcast Smart Gets Paid Podcast - Episode 114 - ‘Don't let the economy kill your business – do this instead' Connect with Leah on LinkedIn Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Leah Neaderthal is a sales coach for women consultants, and she's the founder of Smart Gets Paid. A three-time business owner who started her career in corporate marketing, Leah didn't learn to sell by being a commissioned salesperson. Instead, she taught herself everything she could about selling, overcame “selling shyness,” and created a sales approach that feels comfortable, builds strong client relationships, and gets results. Now she shares the secrets she learned along the way, teaching women how to get the right consulting clients and get paid more for every consulting contract in her program, The Academy. She's also the host of The Smart Gets Paid podcast, where listeners go behind the scenes into her actual calls with clients where Leah is tackling their biggest sales challenges, and they can learn sales strategies they can use in their businesses. You can find The Smart Gets Paid podcast wherever you listen to podcasts. Before starting Smart Gets Paid, Leah built, grew, and sold three businesses.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick, a seasoned expert in veterinary practice management and valuation. We dove deep into the complexities of selling veterinary practices, exploring everything from the current market landscape to the nuances of selling to corporate buyers versus private individuals. Dr. Fitzpatrick shared invaluable insights on the importance of exit planning and how it can significantly impact the success of a sale. We also discussed the viability of both private and corporate sales, with Dr. Fitzpatrick highlighting that while corporate buyers often pay higher multiples, many veterinarians prefer selling to private individuals to maintain the essence of their practice. We also touched on the importance of understanding market trends and projections. Dr. Fitzpatrick emphasized the need for practice owners to attend town planning meetings to gain insights into local growth, which can be crucial when considering practice acquisitions. Additionally, she stressed the importance of early exit planning, ideally starting five years before a sale. This involves financial assessments, professional valuations, and preparing the business for a smooth transition. We also discussed the pros and cons of leasing versus owning real estate for veterinary practices, with ownership offering more control and stability. Moreover, Dr. Fitzpatrick shared strategies for enhancing practice value, such as diversifying services and leveraging technology. By investing in advanced diagnostic equipment and expanding service offerings, practices can increase their appeal to potential buyers. We also covered the impact of rising interest rates on practice sales and the challenges of recruitment and retention in the veterinary field. Dr. Fitzpatrick provided practical tips for effective marketing strategies, emphasizing the role of digital marketing and community engagement in attracting and retaining clients. Overall, this episode is packed with expert advice and actionable strategies for veterinary practice owners looking to navigate the complexities of selling their business.
