Hayden ▪ www.getclientsnow.com EXAMPLE #1 </p><p>My name is Chris Winston. I help human resource departments keep track of employees, salaries, and benefits. I'm an HR systems consultant. If your current system isn't keeping up with your needs, I can fix inaccurate reports, install software upgrades, help you meet regulatory requirements, and make the system easier to use. When your system needs replacing, I’ll make sure you avoid expensive mistakes, and work with your staff step-by-step to manage a system replacement on time and under budget. Since I specialize in HR systems, you can be sure I understand all of your unique needs, and stay current on what's essential for you to know. </p><p>EXAMPLE #2 </p><p>I'm Dr. Virginia Lee. I guide my clients to optimal health and relief from pain. I'm a chiropractor. I provide hands-on healing to help you relieve pain, feel better, and get more out of life. I treat back and neck pain, headaches, disc injuries, carpal tunnel, and much more. Chiropractic is a natural way of helping your body heal itself without relying on drugs and surgery. If you've been injured, chiropractic care can help you regain full function and reduce the likelihood of re-injury. I practice gentle chiropractic, with none of the cracking and popping you may have experienced elsewhere. I have helped hundreds of people live pain free, with increased flexibility and improved health.</p><p>Copyright © 2012 ▪ C.J. Hayden ▪ www.getclientsnow.com</p>
