APHA Expert Call-in
Guerrilla Marketing Tactics Advocates and Care Managers
Will Love
Tuesday, September 8
One (1) CE for BCPAs will
be available for this call-in. (Free to APHA members,
not available to non-members.)
Once you understand marketing basics – audiences,
messaging, and tools – then it’s time to begin letting
the world of potential clients know you are available to
help them, and how to find you.
Easier said than done, of course! Where do you begin?
How do you decide what to do? And then, how do you do
it? |
|
|
|
|
Often we look to traditional
service marketing tactics like building a website,
sending a regular newsletter, doing some public
speaking, or running an ad in your community newspaper.
They are a great start! But sometimes we need something
“more.”
“Guerrilla Marketing” describes more non-traditional
marketing tactics; steps you can take to get your target
audiences to take notice, perhaps to be pleasantly
surprised, and which should, ultimately, make your phone
ring more frequently with potential business.
Nancy Ruffner, APHA member, has been in advocacy
practice for seven years. When she started, she didn’t
know much about marketing, but knew she needed potential
clients to think of her when they needed the services
she could provide. Today she has a thriving advocacy
practice – with a few interesting twists to her
approach, and to her marketing.
Trisha Torrey, director of APHA, and author of two
marketing books for advocates and care managers, has
also employed some more guerrilla-like marketing tactics
over the years.
Listen in on this conversation with Nancy and Trisha to
better understand the guerrilla thinking process and how
to get started with promoting your practice using these
more unusual tactics. |

Connect with Anne!
Combating Burnout
Thursday, September 10
Our norms are in jeopardy, while
patients are being held responsible for their care and
the cost of their care resources are limited causing the
emotional intensity of our work to escalate. All of
these factors can lead many to experience burnout.
Connect with Anne to discuss what burnout is, how to
recognize it and strategies to help you can put into
place to address it.
Meet Anne, and learn more about Connect! with Anne calls. |

A reminder that we
limit registration for Connect! with Anne calls.

Reviews found on Amazon: |
|
|
This is a great marketing book that is exceptionally organized,
easy to understand and includes exceptional advice. The specific
marketing strategies on public relations, creative ideas on
developing and defining your brand and the wonderful resource
list at the end of the book are just a few reasons why I love
and recommend this book. |
|
|
|
|
|
While the information in the book is basic - good for someone
with no business experience - it also lays out a concrete path
of 'must do' tasks for anyone starting a private healthcare
advocate business and keeps you on track. |
|
|
This book is well written, well organized, and contains valuable
information for businesses in this field. I recommend it without
reservation. | |
