Little things I just returned Thursday from a week廣 vacation. I was greeted Friday with a full practice day and five new patients. That廣 the best way to leave and return to your office. Sorry if last week .. I had not answered your many e-mail questions but I am catching up today and sending last Thursday廣 e-mail message today .. Sunday. The message is clear.. make a commitment and stick to it. I have sent these weekly e-mails for over three years and never missed a week .. probably the oldest and longest running chiropractic free newsletter in our profession. Make a commitment to do it right and stick to it .. it廣 the little things that count and is especially true in practice management. We have specific rules in our office that may seem a little thing but are huge in the big picture. Every new patient case history asks for their e-mail address. This is placed on their ledger card .. my computer data base and my patient e-mail address book. Besides sending them a twice monthly e-mail newsletter .. I also have easy access to reach them with a unique quick and simple e-mail. A welcome to our office e-mail is a possibility .. a congratulatory e-mail for something they have accomplished .. a quick thank you for their sticking to their schedule or a "where have you been" for those that are slacking off and a great reminder to rejuvenate those who need to maintain their care. Also .. your e-mail newsletter is an instant recall or reactivation tool to everyone reading it. No stamps .. no cost. Very little time for such a little thing with huge dividends. Be sure to have a number of prepared short messages in your computer for each occasion. Once again .. if you need material for your patient e-mail newsletter check my webpage under General Newsletters and Sickness and Disease Issues .. tons of stuff to use there. Before I leave for home each day my CA prepares a list of the new patients with their home phone numbers. I make it a point to call each one and speak with them directly or leave my home phone number on their answering machine. It may be a small thing to just touch base after their first adjustment or first interaction with my office and answer any questions or just remind them of any instructions I mentioned to them. This simple but very effective means of communications is always received with wonderment as their medical physicians never take the time to care as we usually do. It廣 just a little thing but I am sure is often mentioned to other family members and friends throughout their office .. church and social gatherings .. this is especially true when a referral is in order. One last but not least little thing is to say thank you. Be sure to say thanks to your staff .. they are the glue that often keeps a practice together. Your patients .. they are there for your help but in the larger picture are there to tell others as well. Your significant others .. spouse .. children .. family and friends. Keep the thanks and appreciation flowing. So it廣 the little things that count and add up to huge dividends. Time to thank you for reading these weekly e-mails and for allowing me to assist my fellow chiropractors with my humble attempts at answering your questions and maintaining a resourceful webpage. So .. please tell others about my weekly e-mail. Send me their e-mail addresses .. your association e-mail lists .. mention my weekly e-mail newsletter in your school newspaper or state association newsletter and be sure to hand out sheets of paper and have fellow students or seminar attendees print their e-mail addresses CLEARLY and fax it to me at 770-491-3799. This is how my list grows. It already goes to 7000 chiropractors weekly in 31 countries. This little thing may stimulate someone to e-mail me and in turn get the information or stimulus they need to help so many others. Be sure to keep the little things big. Oh .. if you also have some little things that keep your practice going send it along to me so I can share it with others .. remember sharing is truly caring.
