Last issue, we talked about some of the ways therapists can use technology to manage and market their practices and communicate with clients.

LES SWEENEY: Well, my first advice would be to take a nap. That's a lot of good work they've done! They need to be ready for the onslaught of clients. KC: Yes! Hopefully getting all those tech tools up and running will bring in more clients and help make their current clients happier.

And you probably shouldn't rely on just one method, either. KC: True. The more avenues you use to connect with people and tell them who you are and what you have to offer, the more opportunities you create to bring new clients into your practice and encourage current clients to keep coming back. So what's another technology-based technique for communicating with and prospecting for new clients?
