Question about Clients..

[nmorgart]

Hello!
I just have a few questions about clients.
Thanks in advance

1. How many births do you typically have a month?
2. How many new clients do you get a month?
3. How do they hear about you?

1. How many births do you typically have a month? 2-3, but there were a few months this year that I had less.
2. How many new clients do you get a month? About 1-2. Right now I am not taking new clients though.
3. How do they hear about you? Mostly through my website or DONA.org. I also get referrals here and there from midwives and CBEs.

Two max

2. How many new clients do you get a month?
Varies - I often have many inquiries, but they are often too far away for me to attend these births...especially with my own new baby.

3. How do they hear about you?
CBE referrals, referrals from former clients, DONA, CBI, hits on my own site

I am newly practicing, so I can only tell you so far that I have had:
1. How many births do you typically have a month? 2 this month, 0ne in April so far
2. How many new clients do you get a month? Got all of my 6 clients needed for cert (birth and PP) within in2 months.
3. How do they hear about you? One was an OB referral, 2 referrals from friends, 2 from a local doula list serve (I was only hired for one of these), and 2 from prenatal clinic referrals. The OB and clinic referrals were due to me going in and introducing myself and leaving brochures.

1. How many births do you typically have a month?
I'll take up to 3, but I usually have 2.
2. How many new clients do you get a month?
I typically have 5-7 inquiries a month with 3-4 interviews. (Some of those inquiries are for EDDs that I can't accept.)
3. How do they hear about you?
Mostly doing a google search and finding my website - I've had a couple referrals from previous & current clients.
