Imagine turning strangers into hypnosis clients.

Sounds good, right? Any hypnotist who sees one-on-one clients needs a process that can convert strangers into clients. Unfortunately, most hypnotists don’t know how to do this. Hypnotists rarely understand marketing principles, and that’s what we are here to fix with this blog post.

Secret Weapons That Only Hypnotists Pull Off

You’ve certainly met people who are skeptical about hypnosis. You know, the ones who aren't convinced it's legit? Or others who think hypnosis might work for someone else, but not for them? It's a familiar scenario for many of us in the hypnosis community. This is where our colleague Ryan Montis comes into play, offering some brilliant advice.

Ryan is an expert at coaching hypnotists in using social media to boost awareness, create engagement with potential clients, and turn strangers into clients. 

He runs a free Facebook group where he recently gave a presentation, called "3 Secret Weapons for Turning Strangers into Clients That Only Hypnotists Can Pull Off”. Here, we summarize the main points and tie it into how any hypnotist can build a business based on his advice.

In this blog post, we'll recap what Ryan shared with us and throw in our own take on how these strategies can be seamlessly integrated into your practice.

The Big Hurdle: Hypnotists' Unique Edge

What's this big barrier keeping folks from exploring the transformative world of hypnosis, and how can we get past it? Many are curious yet doubtful of how effective it can be. They might think hypnosis can be a game-changer for other people, just not for them. This skepticism is exactly what gives us hypnotists a chance to shine, allowing us to demonstrate a special skill set that distinguishes us from other professionals. We're talking about delivering an eye-opening experience that clears up doubts and hesitations.

There’s a point we all recognize: seeing the amazing transformations hypnosis can unlock often leaves people eager to experience it themselves. As hypnotists, we have a unique toolbox at our disposal, perfectly tailored for showing off the real impact of our work. This goes way beyond simple conversation; it's about presenting tangible evidence that hypnosis can lead to significant, positive transformations. With the right approach, we hypnotists hold the extraordinary power to engage those just getting introduced to hypnosis, transforming curiosity into solid commitment and turning newcomers into clients.

Think about how difficult this would be for a traditional talk therapist. There is no way for such a therapist to quickly and powerfully demonstrate their skill.  On the other hand, a hypnotist (or NLP practitioner) can easily help someone achieve a meaningful change very quickly!

Let’s talk about how.

Secret Weapon #1: Custom Recordings for a Niche Audience

In navigating the challenge of transforming strangers into clients, Ryan encourages the use of custom hypnosis recordings.  When he says “custom”, he means the recording is designed for a particular niche market. It’s not “stress relief”, which would be quite generic. Here’s an example: Ryan created a customer recording for personal trainers who want to grow their clientele.

A Transformative Journey: From Trainer to Proponent

The effect of Ryan’s custom hypnosis recording was profound. Consider the story of a personal trainer who was initially on the lookout for strategies to expand her business. Through Ryan’s recording, she embarked on a transformative journey. She not only reached her objective of gaining more clients but also became deeply engaged with the potential of hypnosis for enhancing personal and professional growth. Her experience was so impactful that she changed from a casual customer to an avid student and fan of Ryan's work.

This mini case study underscores the success of what we consider our first secret weapon. The personal trainer had an eye-opening experience, and the results highlight the distinct capability of hypnotists to effect meaningful, positive change. This strategy shows how hypnotists, armed with innovative tools and a profound understanding of their audience's needs, can convert curiosity into commitment, effectively turning strangers into loyal clients and advocates.

The Power of Personalization

The key lies in constructing a hypnosis recording that's meticulously designed for a specific aim and targets a very particular niche. It’s not just about the audio itself but the entire environment created around it. 

For this purpose, housing the recording on a dedicated download page is recommended, where it's accompanied not just by the audio but also a clear explanation of how hypnosis works. Moreover, it should give detailed instructions on how to effectively use the recording, ensuring users can tap into its full potential.

This approach transforms the experience from mere passive listening to something that replicates the personal touch and transformative impact of a face-to-face hypnotherapy session. By interacting with this resource, users receive a personalized journey that directly tackles their unique challenges and ambitions.

Secret Weapon #2: Masterclasses That Impress

Picture this: you log into an online masterclass and witness someone overcoming a years-long fear right before your eyes. This is what we aim for in our masterclasses. These aren't just about sharing information; they're about driving real transformation. Watching these live changes unfold, participants aren't just impressed by the capabilities of hypnosis; they start to truly believe in its power. After all, seeing is believing.

These sessions stand as a compelling proof of what can be achieved with hypnosis. It's one thing to talk about the theoretical benefits of hypnosis; it's something entirely different to see those benefits materialize in front of you. This kind of firsthand experience can break down skepticism and highlight a hypnotist's skill in a way that words alone cannot.

Building Trust and Credibility

But the impact of these masterclasses extends beyond the transformations witnessed during the sessions. By hosting these events, hypnotists get to effectively cultivate trust and establish credibility. Participants don't just walk away with a new perspective on hypnosis; they gain a profound respect for the practitioner's expertise. This connection is key in turning spectators into clients. When people see the hypnotist's capacity to promote change with their own eyes, they're more likely to seek those services for themselves.

A Platform for Engagement and Growth

Additionally, these online masterclasses offer a unique opportunity for engagement. Attendees can pose questions, share concerns, and interact directly with the hypnotist, fostering a dynamic learning environment. This level of interaction doesn't just enrich the educational value of the masterclass but also personalizes the experience, amplifying its impact on each participant.

By leveraging the power of live transformation, masterclasses have the power to impress, enlighten, and persuade. They serve as a vivid showcase of the possibilities within hypnosis and a testament to the hypnotist's ability to enact change.

Secret Weapon #3: Breaking Down Beliefs

Our third ace involves creating eye-opening experiences that dive into the realm of self-improvement, specifically by revealing and addressing limiting beliefs. This approach uses a variety of methods to bring to light and challenge the unseen doubts holding people back from their personal growth.

Shining Light on Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs are like silent brakes on our journey to reaching full potential. We can uncover someone’s limiting beliefs during a one-on-one conversation, but also through targeted content, workshops, and masterclasses, making these hidden barriers visible. It's an eye-opening process that steers individuals towards growth and self-discovery.

When we link personal challenges to limiting beliefs, it doesn't just shed light on the issue; it establishes us as beacons of trust and authority. This approach demonstrates a profound level of empathy and insight, showing not only an understanding of the challenge but also a pathway forward.

The Journey to Transformation Begins

Highlighting the nature of limiting beliefs clears the path for significant life advancements. These ingrained notions act as barriers to untapped potential, which hypnosis can unlock. This revelation often marks the eye-opening moment many have been waiting for, offering a new perspective on personal limitations and how to overcome them.

As people delve deeper into this understanding, they naturally become curious about exploring hypnosis further. They've seen our skill in identifying and articulating core issues, positioning hypnosis as a compelling solution to their quest for transformation. This strategy, effective across various platforms, changes perceptions and lives.

Hypnosis: The Key to New Beginnings

Once the link between personal issues and limiting beliefs is clarified, we introduce hypnosis as the transformative tool. We show how hypnosis can reshape those deep-seated beliefs, leading to life-changing improvements. This not only cements our role as trusted guides but also highlights hypnosis as an essential step for anyone ready to pursue change and personal growth.

Cultivating a Desire for Change

Having been through this comprehensive process, people are more inclined to seek out hypnosis services. They've experienced a powerful introduction to the benefits of confronting and altering their limiting beliefs. In this context, hypnosis emerges not just as an option but as the critical next step towards realizing their dreams.

Implementing This in Your Business: Pykthos is Your All-In-One Solution.

In the journey of transforming strangers into clients, Pykthos.com is the ultimate ally for all hypnotists, coaches and other healing practitioners. It’s run by the founders of Mike Mandel Hypnosis, and it’s an all-in-one marketing and business automation platform to help you do exactly what Ryan Montis teaches, as summarized above.

Let’s think about each of the 3 secret weapons Ryan described, and how Pykthos can help.

Let’s look at secret weapon #1 - custom audio tracks. With Pykthos, you can build and host unlimited websites or funnels. Typically you’d host a free audio in a funnel, which is just a series of pages your potential customers go through.  Step 1 would typically request a person’s name and email address.  Step 2 would deliver the promised freebie. You’d then continue to engage the person through value-added emails, and invite them to have a personal discussion with you, should they express interest.

The second secret weapon is to host a masterclass that impresses your audience.  Pykthos gives you everything you need to collect registrations, send out email confirmations and reminders so people show up to the live event (we love Zoom for this).  Then, when you’re ready to turn your masterclass into an on-demand replay, you can either host the recording inside of Pykthos and embed it on a replay page, or drop it into a product where customers can login via a member portal just like Kajabi, Thinkific or other expensive membership platforms. It’s all included with Pykthos.

Finally, secret weapon #3 is a variation on the masterclass example from above. You’d use Pykthos in exactly the same way to deliver valuable content to your audience and invite them to take the next logical step with you.
