Book Your First Client Roadmap: A Simple System to A Profitable Launch

We’re serious about actually launching your business! You can have an LLC, fancy branding, and owe thousands in ‘start-up costs,’ but you haven’t launched until you’ve been paid for being a postpartum doula. We’re passionate about people not being a ‘doula-in-name-only’.

Learn our step by step process for mentally and practically preparing to close the deal, set pricing, and serve your very first client. Get simple check-lists, confidence-boosting scripts, done-for-you assets, and a proven system to get you launched as a doula.

We’ll teach you how to take your first client, what to charge, and how to turn first practice clients into testimonials that gain full paying clients. 

 

How and why you need at least two incredible offers as a postpartum doula and how to create them! There are seven parts to designing a compelling offer you’ll be proud sell and your ideal clients will be happy to buy. You must include all seven parts because it’s always easier for your ideal client to do …nothing!

These seven psychological triggers integrate to overcome resistance, and help people say yes to something better! Learn how to easily present what you do, so ideal clients easily understand the transformational benefits you create.

Bonus: get our ‘Creating Your Offer’ Checklist’ to design an offer that is ‘must-have’ rather than ‘meh’.

We’ll show you how to prepare for, set expectations, and run a successful initial conversation with prospects that turns a high percentage into paying clients.

A powerful ‘Open the Relationship Conversation’ builds on our Designing Your First Two Foundational Offers Masterclass as you present valuable resources and help the other person discover the path that is best for them.

Bonus: our “Specific Question Sequence Map” is designed to ‘open the relationship’ rather than ‘close the deal’ as you give clarity on where the potential client is in their journey and where they want to be, so you can naturally help them uncover the best pathway for them.

Learn how to anticipate common objections, grab our follow up email copy template, and learn how to respond when a potential client no-shows for this meeting.

Learn how to interview people in your ideal demographic, turn practice clients into referrals, effectively network, and identify and on-board referral partners.

FAQ + Certification Details

Assignments are designed to build your postpartum birth business. We don’t believe in making you write essay papers no one will ever read, or complete pointless and complicated paperwork requirements. We only assign practical, project-based assignments and personal challenges designed get you systematically building the business assets you need to build confidence and take your first client.

Some worksheets, ‘self-work challenges’ and educational projects are optional; required assignments simply include guided writing of client assets you’ll need and use in your business. This process will help you clarify your business’ ‘niche’ choice, and develop your expertise.

This course is organized around action, around finishing, around sharing your work and learning from that experience. 

 

In order to certify as a Postpartum Doula with Brilliant Birth Academy you’ll need to complete:


  1. Course Video Completion Requirements: Our system must indicate you’ve watched 80% of the course material videos (basically, this equals you viewing most of the videos, most of the way through). Our Academy has an app so you can conveniently watch on the go; your phone app and desktop will synch progress automatically so you never lose your spot.
  2. Homework: Submit five ‘Postpartum Topic Handouts’ of your choice; you’ll use this work to clarify your business’ ‘niche’ choice, and develop your expertise. All action you’ll be taking as part of the program is working on your business with relevant assets you’ll be able to use. Other worksheets and educational projects are optional.
  3. Final Exam: Take our 50-question multiple choice examination with a passing score of 70%– these questions will be similar to unit end quizzes.
    1. Unit end quizzes are a tool for your personal knowledge assessment to ensure you have clarity on which concepts we find most important. These serve to prepare you for the final exam; they are not graded.

 

With a 5 hours per week investment you should be able to start seeing clients in three months. There are 50 hours of content plus reading time and assignments.

Most of our students have full schedules with families and jobs. Our intensive timeline will stretch you, but will still be manageable with real-life responsibilities. Most of the women behind the scenes at the academy have babies, and an *average of 5 kids. Jim Rohn said: “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” Every course comes with courses on how to make time in your schedule for your new course because we care about our course completion rates.
