Welcome to the developing website of alternative-health-products-practices.com Since you are here it means you have heard about us and you are coming to find out what this project is all about. Welcome! We are very excited you are here! Below you will see a couple of screen shots from the sample directory of the company that is helping us create this amazing educational, informational website. We also describe how the different pages within the site will work. Currently, we have only laid out the structure and created our vision, we do not have any categories or those types of structures in place at this time. We want to see how it all develops by the contributors that get involved to help us build this site. This is strictly a community lead educational, informational website. First, I'd like to introduce myself; I am Rev. Wendy Lewis, Ph.D., co-owner of Academy of Spirit. I have been an alternative health practitioner for more than 10 years. This site along with the Academy of Spirit site (www.academyofspirit.com) are Spirit lead ventures designed to educate, empower and inspire those who are seeking change in their lives. Being an alternative-health practitioner and product representative has allowed me to experience, as we all have, that there are many people who want information about the many alternative-health practices or products that are available, but they do not know where to go to get quality information. They often feel rather pushed upon by the practitioner or product rep who is trying to explain why they should try their practice or product. Both are often so excited about what they have to offer that it comes across as pushy. Most don’t intent to be pushy, but they are really not sales people and they don’t know the graceful tricks to selling. They are practitioners who are overly enthusiastic about making people better. This website will change all of that. It will give the public a place to learn from the world’s practitioners about how their practice works and what to look for in choosing a practitioner near you. This site will allow the public to explore the many healing options at the same website and then decide which feels right to try. Then, once they have narrowed down their exploration they will be able to look closely at the member practitioners in their area. They will get the chance to meet the practitioner or product rep through their introductory video, the potential client will know about the practitioner and what they do before even picking up the phone to make the appointment. Usually all you can learn from using a referral site is a local person’s name, address and phone number. If you are lucky enough to get a website address then you can go there are learn what they say about their practice. But if you don’t know anything about that practice, you really don’t know if that person is telling you similar of different things then others who practice this would tell you. All of that is about to change! Here's a look at the structure of the site itself:(Click on the pictures below for the full-size version, which will open a new window)
 Upon navigating to the directory part of the website,
viewers will then type their health concern, symptoms, the name of a
health issue, or of course, the name of a specific practice or product
into the search box. 
Next, the viewer can select the practice or product that interests them, type in their local zip code and the listings of all the practitioners in that area will appear on their screen. Some practices and most products are not area specific; in that case all members will come up with those closest being on the top of the search results. This section contains the Practitioner's Personal information.  Inside a practitioner's personal listing is their name, address, phone and website and other information also. Each practitioner has the opportunity to make a short video introduction (about 3 minutes) to greet their potential new customer for the first time. On that video you would say what you would say if they were standing in front of you; make them feel welcome and happy to be at your place of business. Video sells, it bridges all the learning styles and brings you right in front of the potential customer, it puts their mind at ease and makes them feel comfortable with you, like they've already met you. This next page shows the Practitioner's Personal Listing Page in its full open position. It shows you how much space for your message to your new potential new customer. It is far more than a simple phone book listing like most directories offer. 
The listing is designed to pre-sell the potential client and make them feel like they have made the correct decision in choosing their new practitioner or product. This feeling of contentment with their decision will help in the healing process from their first contact with you; because they will already be feeling better about themselves and their journey to health. A pre-sold client is a contented client who is usually the most loyal of any client, marketing statistics prove that over and over again, and it is especially true in the health care field.
