How to Get Referrals : The Mental Health Professional's Guide to Strategic Marketing

Rating:
Summary: unhelpful
Review: I think this book would be good for someone who has never been exposed to any marketing concepts but it is not very original and was mostly disappointing to me. There were defintely not any "a-ha" moments as I read through this book, just the standard encouragements that most marketing books would offer you. It is just a very basic book!

Review: It's not clear that the author actually has experience in the mental health field. Her suggestion to make friends with the office manager, offer to pitch in and help are very unrealistic for anyone trying to make a living.

Summary: More than a marketing book
Review: The best marketing for professional services is word of mouth. This easy to follow book helped me with a step by step process of connecting with the referral sources that work the best for my specialities. Using the guidelines in this book I was able to step out of my office, comfortably, and connect with the people and organizations that I could refer clients to for resources, and they in turn sent clients to me as they learned about what I did. This is a marketing book written with an ethical professional in mind.
