If you're a dietitian and not using direct messages (DMs) to connect with potential customers, you're missing out on a significant opportunity! In today's video, we'll dive into practical tips and tactical steps for leveraging DMs to boost your business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Consistency is Key: How often are you using DMs on Instagram to connect with people? If the answer is rarely or never, it's time to start. Set a SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) to spend 10-20 minutes a week engaging with potential clients through DMs.

2. Building Relationships: Use DMs to ask simple, relevant questions about your audience’s nutritional needs. Validate their responses and offer solutions. This helps in building trust and opening avenues for further conversations.

3. Strategic Messaging: Identify your niche audience and engage them with thoughtful questions. If they show interest, invite them to a call to discuss how you can assist them further.

However, most dietitians don’t start out running their own business—in fact, the vast majority never do!

Many dietitians feel intimidated by the idea of stepping out into private practice, but fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. Helping dietitians just like you crack the code of becoming a business owner to enjoy the fruits of hard-won success is exactly why I started Dietitian Boss in the first place.
