Because many solo practitioners, independent professionals, and entrepreneurs are uneasy with attracting clients—due largely to self-promotion reluctance, inadequate marketing strategies, and ineffective marketing conversion from lead to retained client—Dr. Signe created a soft-sell approach: her education-based relationship Marketing Communication Secrets Method.

Her coaching and consulting show private practice professionals how to reduce their discomfort, multiply clients and referrals inexpensively and with integrity. Her marketing system uses strategic relationship and communication tactics to create visibility, credibility, rapport, trust, liking, solid relationships to recruit, convert, and retain clients and gain their loyalty.

Specializing in coaching and consulting with solo professionals, Dr. Signe has also consulted on enhancing physician-patient communication, created and directed public service health announcement videos for American Cancer Society, promoted the Newton-Wellesley Hospital Oncology Unit, designed promotions and public relations for dentists, provided seminars to genetic counselors and psychologists, and presented to medical students at University of New Mexico Health Sciences School.

She has also coached and consulted with individual lawyers as well as worked with the University of New Mexico Law School to pass an important health bill. The initial full-fledged bill she presented was on genetic health discrimination. She directed it to Dr. Robert Schwartz, Dean of the Health Law Department where a working group was formed to work on its passage. It was the "Genetic Information Privacy Bill" which proposed to prevent health insurers from continuing to refuse to insure (or reject an insured) due to the individual having a pre-disposition for a genetic disease. 

Specifically, disease pre-disposition means only that the individual has a gene associated with a particular disease but has no clinical signs of having the disease ... and might never have the disease. The project took two years and "The "Genetic Information Privacy Act" was passed in 1997. 

She has over 358 published newspaper, magazine, blog posts, and Internet articles and has been quoted in publications including Industry Week, Wall Street Journal, Boston Business Journal, Success, Executive Travel, Time Out New York, Shape, and Cosmopolitan.
