Where Does a Hypnotist Go For Marketing Help?


Where Does a Hypnotist Go for Marketing Help?


That is a good question. Most psychologists and medical doctors in the United States do not have to focus on how to find clients. They obtain referral business through medical insurance companies and discount medical services directories.

Even though they will usually pay for a Yellow Page telephone listing, most of their business is obtained through these services.

Hypnotists and hypnotherapists have it rough. They do not have the same access to insurance companies. They have to generate all their business the old fashioned way. They have to go out and get it.

A hypnotherapist must also be a “rainmaker.” He or she must generate life sustaining business.

This means that addition to achieving expertise in the field of hypnotherapy, if you are a hypnotherapist, you must be able to effectively market your services and develop multiple streams of hypnosis income.

Where can a hypnotherapist go for this kind of help?

Can Women Become Hypnotist? How Good Are They?


Can women become hypnotists and How Good Are They?

Yes, women can become hypnotists. In fact about 90% of current hypnotherapy classes include women. There are many more female hypnotists then men. Women make great hypnotherapists because they tend to be patient and they tend to be great listeners. Hypnotherapy involves a talent for nurturing that most women seem to use naturally. A hypnotherapist needs to be a great listener because she is listening for cues in her client’s language and behavior, in order to structure the correct hypnotic treatment prescription.

There aren’t very many female stage hypnotists at this point in history. There are just a few female stage hypnotists today; however all seem to be doing well. The earliest female stage hypnotist I am aware of performed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Her father was a professional hypnotist as well. Wendy Friesen is an excellent stage hypnotist as well as a superb clinical hypnotherapist. Her video instruction is located here.

I have trained several hypnotists but only a few specialized in stage hypnotism. We need more female stage hypnotists. Click here if you are looking for live one-on-one training and professional coaching to become a stage hypnotist or a clinical hypnotherapist.

Summary:

Women make great hypnotherapists. There are a few female stage hypnotists. There is room for many more in this profession.

Where Do I Begin Learning How to Hypnotize People?


Where Do I begin Learning How to Hypnotize People?



Back in 1976 when I decided to become a hypnotist, I wondered what book or tape I need as a first step in hypnotizing other people

For a couple of years leading up to my first hypnotic subject, I read 10 or 15 books on the subject, and still had to attend an expensive workshop to finally put things together that I understand.

I just completed an audio CD where you will take the first step and hypnotize your first person. It is easy to learn and takes less than an hour to listen and absorb.
This is a whole lot easier than reading all of those books and still not knowing where to begin. Click here to begin your successful first step!

The Significance of April 18, 1775



Paul Revere's Ride
A Poem by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Then he said "Good-night!" and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide.

Meanwhile, his friend through alley and street
Wanders and watches, with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenadiers,
Marching down to their boats on the shore.

Then he climbed the tower of the Old North Church,
By the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To the belfry chamber overhead,
And startled the pigeons from their perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him made
Masses and moving shapes of shade,--
By the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
To the highest window in the wall,
Where he paused to listen and look down
A moment on the roofs of the town
And the moonlight flowing over all.

Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead,
In their night encampment on the hill,
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could hear, like a sentinel's tread,
The watchful night-wind, as it went
Creeping along from tent to tent,
And seeming to whisper, "All is well!"
A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the secret dread
Of the lonely belfry and the dead;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far away,
Where the river widens to meet the bay,--
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide like a bridge of boats.

Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride
On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse's side,
Now he gazed at the landscape far and near,
Then, impetuous, stamped the earth,
And turned and tightened his saddle girth;
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry tower of the Old North Church,
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still.
And lo! as he looks, on the belfry's height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns.

A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet;
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides.

It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Medford town.
He heard the crowing of the cock,
And the barking of the farmer's dog,
And felt the damp of the river fog,
That rises after the sun goes down.

It was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, black and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.

It was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge in Concord town.
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadow brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket ball.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,---
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,---
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere

---


Thank God and thank our forefathers for risking everything to give us freedom.

Respectfully,

Wayne F. Perkins

Talking Too Fast or Too Slow During the Hypnosis Induction


Talking Too Fast or Too Slow During the Hypnosis Induction

What is the correct talking pace in order to hypnotize people? Can I actually talk too fast or too slow?

When hypnotizing other people, and even when using self-hypnosis, you want to make sure you are using the correct talking pace.

Talking both too fast or too slow, may distract your clients and cause them to come out of the hypnosis experience.

If you are hypnotizing just one person, it is very important to get the pacing correct. You can get the correct pacing just by listening to your clients as they give you information during the intake phase of your hypnosis treatment session. Notice how quickly they respond to your questions. Is there a three or four second pause between the time that they are thinking about their answers or do they answer your questions as quickly as the questions come out of your mouth?

If there is a three or four second pause from the time you have asked your question to the time your client responds, then seriously consider have a three or four second pause at the end of each induction phrase.

For example, you are hypnotizing Linda, from Louisville, Kentucky. Every time you ask her a simple question, she takes about three or four seconds to respond. Here is how you would deliver your hypnotic suggestions: “You are becoming very relaxed and very tired as you go deep, deep, asleep.” (Wait four seconds)

“Now, think about relaxing all the muscles of your feet.” (Wait four seconds)

“And as you think about relaxing all the muscles of your feet, you are going, deeper and deeper asleep.”

Notice, the four second intervals I have inserted in that induction to effectively pace myself with Linda’s thought processes.

Now, on the other hand, you now have a client, (Jacob) who lives in New York City. As you ask your client questions during the intake portion of your hypnosis treatment session, Jacob responds so quickly that you barely raise the tone of your sentence to demonstrate a question, and Jacob already has a complete sentence in response.

My suggestions would go something like this:

“You are becoming very relaxed and very tired as you go deep, deep asleep.”

“Now, think about relaxing all the muscles of your feet.” “As you think about relaxing all the muscles of your feet, you are going deeper and deeper asleep.”

Notice, I speed up the delivery of my hypnotic suggestions. This will assist me in providing better rapport with my client as his thought processes move quickly.

Summary:

Make sure you use the correct pace when hypnotizing clients. You get clues as to the proper pace as you listen to your client’s responses to questions you deliver during the intake phase of your hypnosis treatment session.

I wish you success in achieving all of your goals.

How to Book Schools with "Split the Gate Events"


How to book Schools with Split the Gate Events


One of the easiest ways of booking hypnosis gigs for schools is to book a Split the Gate Event. Split the Gate means that you do not collect your fee up front. You assume some of the risks as you are betting on a stage hypnosis show to bring in a large paying audience.

High school clubs and organizations are always trying to raise money. Clubs are approached by vendors who want students to sell expensive soap, food, wrist bands, or other products that require students to have door to door selling skills.

This option usually falls flat because most teachers and students do not like to approach the public this way.

Another option is for students to wash cars at a local retail establishment. The establishment provides the water for free and the students need to show up and wash cars for donations. Many students do not show up on the assigned day leaving the club sponsor and a handful of students working very hard washing cars.

Students usually raise only a few hundred dollars using the car wash option.

The third option is for the club to have an entertainer perform at the high school during a week night or weekend. The students and student club advisor arrange for the use of the auditorium or gymnasium for the night, the performer shows up and delivers a program.

The Stage Hypnotism Performance works well in drawing people because it is the unique reality show that uses student volunteers and the true magic of the mind, Hypnotism.

How much do clubs earn from a Hypnotism show?

In the average high school of about 1200-1500 students, and with a lot of advance publicity for the event, the event should draw between 1000-2000 paying customers.

If the club charges just $6.00 a ticket for the event, and if you figure only 1000 paying customers show up, the club should receive $6000.00 from ticket sales. If you split the gate with the school 50/50, you will receive $3000.00 for your one-hour performance and the school club will receive the other $3000.00.

In addition to ticket sales the club may run a silent auction or sell food during and after the event. With a turnout of at least 1000 people, there will be plenty of paying customers to buy things during and after the show.

This is a win-win situation for the school because they did not have to pay you a fee up front and you are committing to an hour or a day at a school where you possibly won’t make any money. You assume the risk just like the club advisor or sponsor. This places you in good standing with the sponsor as you make your proposal.



How to Contact the Student Club Advisor

There are many clubs and club sponsors at a typical public high school.

There are senior night fund raisers, post prom fund raisers, band booster events, choir booster events, scholarship fund raisers, senior class trips, and the list goes on and on.

Schools need to have events that are guaranteed to bring in thousands of dollars not just a few hundred dollars.

The stage hypnotist show can do just that.

Since you have no idea how many clubs and who are the people that are begging for funds within those clubs the best way to find out is to call in to the school switchboard and ask to talk with the principal.

The principal knows student sponsors because they are always crying on his/her shoulder about raising money.

When you reach the switchboard, ask the receptionist to transfer you to the principal’s office.

Also ask the principal’s name.

If you reach a voice mail for the principal, leave the following message.

“My name is________ and my telephone number is:_____________.

I am a professional hypnotist that helps student organizations raise money without any up front costs.

Please call any time that is convenient or pass my name on to one of your student club sponsors who needs to raise large amounts of money this year.

Thank you,

My name again is _____ and my number is:__________________

-----

Notice how I give the telephone at the beginning of the conversation and at the end. I have found that many times the message is forwarded from place to place and its convenient for the sponsor to write down the number without having to listen to the whole message two or three times.
If the message is garbled, at least your telephone number might be heard as you give it twice during the message.


Attempt to call at least 10-15 schools a day between the hours of 8AM and 4PM in the time zone they are located.

If you get the principal on the very first try get right to the point and tell him/or that you want to put on a great show to enable their club to raise a significant amount of money for their special needs.

Only leave one message per school. Principals are busy people but will call you if they are interested. If you don’t hear from them this semester, call them the next semester and leave the same message. So you are leaving two messages per year or one per semester.

Be prepared to send out your agreement that day spelling out the dates and terms and then start rehearsing the show.

Or better still, with your positive response to the call make some additional calls that day and fill up your schedule.

Good luck,

Wayne F. Perkins

Advice On Booking Stage Hypnosis Shows for Schools and Corporatations

Advice on Booking Stage Hypnosis Shows for Schools and Corporations

Question from Tim J, Toledo, OH

"What is the best way to book stage hypnosis gigs?" "I work fulltime currently so I can't call during the day." "Do I send a brochure?"


Hello Tim,

Thank you for writing.


I have found the most productive way to book is to call and book, regardless of the market.

That being said and you with a limitation of a job, here is what you should expect with a mailing.

First of all, the only way to find out who to send your information to, is by calling. If you cannot call what I would do is send the information to the Principal of the school. You can find out names of principals from Greatschools.net or your state education Websites.

The principal will act as a clearing house to the organizations within the school that are crying for money. He or she are bombarded by club sponsors daily.

I would do split the gates and just focus on fundraising. All school assemblies are performed during the day, and the student council usually has a budget for speakers. Since you are working during the day all contacts and performances for assemblies will be during the day, thus not your market.

Fund raisers are almost always held at night when parents can attend. A few will be held on Saturdays during the day, but usually are never held during the week days.

A fund raiser should be able to bring in at least 300 people at a very small school and for a well publicized show, more that 1000 people. If the ticket price is only $6.00 a ticket that should bring your split around $3000.00

If you are going to have the school buy your program, let them pay you $3000.00 up front for your appearance rather than $800.00. $3000.00 is more logical.

I wouldn't offer a buyout for schools. They won't have the money upfront to pay you for fundraising. A 50/50 split with no upfront costs by the school sounds like the best approach for you. List no other option on your flyers.

In your offer letter or postcard, make sure you mention that the contact leave a night time number they can reach you.

A mailing of 1000 sounds like a lot but mailings usually only get about a 1% return. You can increase the return by mailing to the same individuals 7 or 8 times over the year. That is a huge expense and time consumer.

In any event a 1 percent return means you will be getting 10 people to call you back. If you book half of those that only means 5 gigs. 5 gigs at $800.00 is only $4000.00 to you. After the time, effort and cost of the mailing that is not a good business decision. At the most you could only mail the school 7 times during the year as most schools have two or three months off. They only have 180 working days.

If I had the limitation of working days and only 1000 addresses to mail to 7 times a year, I would opt to sending my information, (not mentioning fee) to corporations in the same geography.

5 gigs a month for major corporation quarterly meetings or conventions would net you anywhere from $12,500 ( for a minimum fee of $2500) to $50,000, for a fee of $10,000 which most midsize companies expect to pay for banquet entertainment

$2500.00 is considered a "beginning speaker" in the corporate world. Your worst performance as a hypnotist will outshine a beginning public speaker by leaps and bounds. A corporation will spend more than $2500.00 on the flower arrangement at the conference dinner. Try to get flowers to hypnotize people.

You will send out the same amount of flyers and reap tremendous rewards. At $50,000 a month, you may consider eliminating your day job, and then you will be able to book school assembly programs at $800-2500 per show if you still want to do them.

I offer hypnosis marketing consulting in person, not only in Phoenix, but right in your hometown!

I wish you success
