Trisha Torrey started the topic Let's get started with Client Acquisition – Lesson 11 is launched in the forum APHA Academy 100 Days to Launch <br>(Winter-Spring 2022) 3 years, 4 months ago

Lesson 11 is the beginning of Client Acquisition, which describes the process from beginning to end of – yes – acquiring a new client. We’ll talk them through their fears, assure them we can help (but maybe not the way you expect), and then we’ll assess what they need us to do for them, convincing them to pay us to do the work.

Christie Cox replied to the topic Taking a Poll- Document Signing Software in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

Hi all. I just read this article on helpful productivity tools from PC Mag. A ton of good things including document e-signing, free time tracking, etc on the list. Passing it on. https://www.pcmag.com/picks/best-productivity-apps
Althea P. Halchuck, EJD, CT, BCPA replied to the topic Taking a Poll- Document Signing Software in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

I use Docu-Sign. I find it very easy to use for me and my clients. DS keeps a record of past documents and signatures. I have not had any issues with it at all. I pay $120/yr.
Ashley Abuel, BSN, RN, BCPA replied to the topic Taking a Poll- Document Signing Software in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

Hi Sylvia,

I have been using Adobe Sign for 4-6 months, and I really like it. I have the $15/month subscription to Adobe Pro DC. It includes Adobe Sign and PDF editing software, which I use quite a bit to create, prepare, and combine PDF files. Adobe Sign is quick and easy to use, both for me and my clients. I recommend it!

Kindly,

If so, this will be of interest.

Rick Pugach started the topic Taking care of ourselves in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

About five years ago, after enduring a string of challenging cases, I had a discussion with a wonderful colleague and friend about how this stuff can extract its toll on us. I even came up with a name for it – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for Health Advocates.
Five years later, PTSDHA still has not broken into ICD-10’s Top 70,000. It still has…[Read more]

Registration complete and all accommodations booked!

I am so excited and can not wait to see everyone!!!
Sylvia Reisman started the topic Taking a Poll- Document Signing Software in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

I am getting ready to launch my practice in March and curious to know what document signing software everyone is using?

1. Are you just scanning and sending legal documents to your client for print out, signature and rescanning back to you?

Or

2. Are you using Adobe Sign or Hellosign?

What is your satisfaction rating if you are using a…[Read more]
Houstonhealth replied to the topic If ever anyone needed an advocate in the forum +ADL Forum: Directory Listed APHA Members Only 3 years, 4 months ago

I’ve not had luck with anyone who has turned to GoFundMe help. I’ve tried when friends have posted these to mention that I could help with the insurance/medical bills while most of the funds could go to living expenses—yet no one seemed to want to hire me for a portion of the GoFundMe money. I don’t think this is a good Care Partner Project…[Read more]
Trisha Torrey replied to the topic New Suicide Prevention Hotline: Dial 988 in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

Thank you for sharing this, Christie. I have someone in my life it needs to be shared with – and I will do so.

It’s important.
Christie Cox started the topic New Suicide Prevention Hotline: Dial 988 in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

It’s called Lifeline. 988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. While some areas may be currently able to connect to the Lifeline by dialing 988, this dialing code will be available to everyone across the United States starting on July 16, 2022.

Trisha Torrey replied to the topic ICOPA 2022 in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

We’ve been so pleased to see how excited people are to attend ICOPA – woo hoo!

A couple of notes:

1. We changed our covid policy to reflect the CDC-accepted definition of “fully vaccinated” (no booster needed). Masking is still a question mark but could change many times between now and the end of April. The policy is fluid. We’ll have a…[Read more]

So glad that I was able to watch this! Just one more bit of helpful information.
Melanie Parks replied to the topic Cohort Get Togethers in the forum APHA Academy 100 Days to Launch <br>(Winter-Spring 2022) 3 years, 4 months ago

Hey Stephanie,
Thanks again for taking the lead on this! I available most weekdays during the evenings, on EST. Weekends if that needed to be an option could work me as well.

Thanks!

sandyt333 replied to the topic Excellent and Free Score Resources in the forum General Conversation 3 years, 4 months ago

Hi Lorelei,

I couldn’t agree more. SCORE is one of the best, commonly untapped, organizations available and their insight is priceless. This free service ( often requesting only a small donation ) is available to anyone with an interest in starting a new or restructuring and existing business. Their workshops do provide useful information and…[Read more]
