********************

As chapter president, I get asked questions about a lot of
subjects related to hypnosis. Two of the most common are
marketing and making hypnosis recordings. So in the spirit of
providing you with practical, immediately useful information you
can use, we're hitting both those hot topics this month.

We've got Cheryl Vaulk speaking about marketing and I'll be doing
a bit on recording.

++++++++++++

Cheryl Vaulk has twenty-five years of professional sales and
marketing management experience. She is the co-owner of
Transformational Partners, L.L.C., dedicated to supporting
health, training and leadership professionals with sales,
marketing and training services.

Cheryl will show us how to create effective marketing materials
and grow our clientele.

* Learn three essential keys to gain new clients
* Find out the secret of easy low cost marketing
* Apply proven marketing principles to making your business more
profitable
* Discover what the busiest professionals do right and how you
can too

++++++++++++

I'm a former recording engineer/producer who has produced lots of
hypnosis and NLP related products and I'll show you how to do the
same.

Why would you want to make recordings???

You can substantially increase your income, prestige and your
effectiveness by adding audio products to the mix (CDs and/or
cassettes).

* Have products to sell to clients
* Add revenue without additional advertising costs
* Make money when giving speeches or other public appearances
* Sell those potential clients who think your sessions are "too
expensive"
* Use recordings as a way to get more clients
* Record client sessions to reinforce your work


I'll answer all those pesky audio questions such as "What
microphone should I use," "How do I make CDs," "Where do I get
background music," and "How do I mix the background music with my
voice?"

We'll even create an actual audio product right on the spot.

Devin Hastings Workshop

Devin Hastings flew out to present to us a while back. Now, he's
is offering a workshop on June 11th and 12th in Kirkland, WA.

In this fun and informative two-day class you are becoming
certified by the Diabetes Research Association of America to be
Certified Diabetes Motivational Coach(TM).

With this powerful credential, you have a unique knowledge and
ability to help those who suffer from diabetes which is a disease
that affects millions of people. If you want to know how many
you can help then start asking friends and co-workers how many
diabetics they know. You will be amazed at how many people are in
need of your trained services.

It's all about abundance so please remember Zig Ziglar's famous
words: "You can have anything you want in life so long as you
help enough people to get what they want."

Hypnosis in the news (second article down):

Self-hypnosis may help hay fever sufferers…

Hypnosis facilitates the production of immune cells, called T-
cells. Volunteers in the study reported a reduction in symptoms
such as a runny noses. Fewer doses of "rescue medication" were
needed and self-hypnosis improved nasal airflow.

Two year double blind study shows increased nasal air flow - even
with exposure to allergens. Patients who had learned self-
hypnosis had significant improvements in both the first and
second years. Hypnosis improved nasal airflow, even under the
exposure to allergens.

Mind-body medicine uses the power of the mind to influence physical
health…

Over 6,000 cancer patients dealing with disease- and treatment-
related symptoms showed positive results when using relaxation,
hypnosis and supportive group therapy. These mind-body therapies
