This Marketing Message/Specialty Page will focus on Supervision/Consultation services.

Please answer the questions in this form in your own words as much as possible—instead of simply copy/pasting information from elsewhere—because we want to know what you find important to be included in the content so we can create a unique page for each topic/specialty. Clear and specific answers are best -- not necessarily long ones.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Please do not just provide links to sites. It's not our writers' responsibility to pick out information for you to use in the content. We need your expert input and direction.
The person who will do the interview with the writer (after one has been assigned) should also be the person filling out this questionnaire.

Identifying the Client

Your answer to this question will help us to better understand for whom this marketing message will be written.

1. Describe the audience you would like to reach related to this specialty.*

(Think demographics: relationship status, career, living situation, education level, gender, age range, etc.)

Identifying the Pain/Problem

The following questions help define the challenges your ideal client(s) are facing so they can see that you understand their situation and what they are going through.

2. What is their SINGLE BIGGEST problem (the main reason why clients feel compelled to seek out your services)?*

3. What are some of the other typical challenges or obstacles that your ideal clients are experiencing? How do these issues affect their ability to function or execute their responsibilities day to day?*

4. TAKE TIME WITH THIS ONE: What do your prospective clients ultimately want to achieve by working with you? Become your potential client and finish this sentence. “If I (we) could just ______________.”*

(Give a few examples.)

Normalizing the Issue/Need

The questions in this section explore why your potential client's issues are common (or uncommon). This is your opportunity to “normalize” the experience and make it less intimidating to seek help.

5. How common are challenges among the clients you serve?*

You can provide statistics or speak more generally (e.g. “every therapist can benefit from supervision” or “many schools across the country are in dire need of mental health consultations, but they don’t have the resources”). 1-3 statistics are typically enough to establish the facts. Please provide us with links to the reference sources.

6. Give specific examples of issues in your client’s profession, practice, or community that may contribute to their challenges (this describes the “why” or “cause” of the issue—or factors that influence it).*

7. Why do your clients struggle to overcome challenges on their own?*

(For example: lack of resources, don’t know where to start, lack of awareness around the problem, etc.)

Offering Solutions, Hope, and How/Why You Can Help

The answers to these questions allow you to go into more detail on your specific approach/methodologies, skills you teach, how sessions work, and what clients can take away from them. Imagine the client is standing outside the practice door -- this section is the invitation/selling point.

8. Why are your services effective? What can you help your clients accomplish?*

9. What may a client expect to experience, better understand, learn, and apply by working with you?*

10. Are there any logistical details your clients need to know before meeting with you (for example, duration of the process, materials needed, or professional requisites)?*

11. How do you work with your clients? What concrete skills, tools, techniques, or strategies can your clients gain from working with you?*

(Walk your target audience through your services and how they work.)

12. What would you say to a potential client to provide them with hope? With your help and support, what can they ultimately hope to achieve, and what does that look like for them?*

Addressing Questions and Concerns

At this point, many potential clients aren’t quite ready to commit to taking advantage of your services yet. This section allows you to list the 3 MOST COMMON concerns/fear-based FAQs clients may have that keep them from seeking support. By addressing these concerns, you can build rapport and increase the chances they will stay on your site, and improve the quality of consultation calls/first sessions.

13. What are the three most common concerns/fear-based FAQs clients may have about seeking support? (e.g. general concerns [issues with time or money] or specialty-specific [public perception, partner doesn’t want to participate, etc.])

(Note: These should be unique questions/concerns for this particular issue/specialty. Please try to avoid copy/pasting the same ones for each specialty page because duplicating content will harm the ranking of your page.)
