E-mail message: Game Plan It won¼t be long before the college and professional football season begins. As teammates train and spend time together they discuss and role play a very important component of any sport and that¼s the game plan. No coach sends their players on the field without specific action steps and preplanned strategy behind every move and countermove. The same applies to us. Our game plan is to reach members of our community and turn them into proponents of Health and Wellness rather than Sickness and Disease. Our game plan is also to reach our patients and turn them into advocates of Health and Wellness with Chiropractic as the impetus. The game plan must be calculated to achieve results with the least amount of effort .. physical .. emotional .. financial. As a small business the average chiropractic office has limited time .. personnel and funds to have a massive marketing and public relations campaign. To achieve the most bang for the buck we need to review our target and use resources at hand to reach them. Doctors and students .. I challenge you to create a game plan for this Fall and Winter season. For those in a sharing mood with their creative juices flowing .. I request you write this game plan and send it to me so I can post it on my webpage for others to benefit as well. Think of our team in a locker area huddled around a chalk board with our coach writing signs and symbols representing different staff maneuvers and offensive and defensive actions. Breaking through the 50 yard line of patient and community resistance and ignorance takes practice and more practice. The goal post is within sight and reached when the patient understands their role and follows through with care. Verbal and written scripts must be prepared and letters to send should be ready. Telephone and patient surveys may be implemented as well as various workshops and handouts outlining our Fall and Winter Outreach Programs. Patients should know your plans and be able willingly to participate. Seasonal in-office promotions should now be evolving such as Patient and Community Appreciation Days .. Community Charitable Food Drives .. Toys for Tots and more. The game plan for these events include timelines towards completed components such as mailings .. telephone campaign .. etc. Referrals concepts are the bedrock of established practices. As this year ends we have ample time to create referral awareness for your patients .. the end of the season besides being joyful is also extremely stressful for some. Create your game plan. Outline events week by week. Delegate responsibilities for every staff member and if you practice by yourself .. time manage what needs to be done. It is not hard to kick start a campaign .. all it takes is a game plan. Oh .. if you are clueless on how to do it .. just follow your local politician they are deep in the midst of their game plan .. spend a day with their team .. you¼ll learn a lot.
