Shared by Dr. Rick Wren (wren@texoma.net) Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is that time of year to plan for success. Get that calendar out and plan promotions, seminars, holidays, and vacations. Plan ahead and make yourself commit to them. Promotions should be scheduled at least every 2 months. They should be done in such a way to generate momentum, synergy, and love. Our first promotion will be in February for Valentines day. We will be collecting donations for the Oklahaven's Children's Chiropractic Center. This Center has a 38 year history of taking care of children with very severe problem's even when they do not have insurance or money. Allot of these families owe 100,000 or more to the Medical establishment when they come to the Center. They take cases like cerebral palsy, birth defects, and etc. The Center is run by Dr. Bobby Doscher who is like the Mother Theresa of Chiropractic. The doctor should hand out flyers to each and every patient and personally request that the patient buy a small heart for 5$ or a large heart for 10$. The hearts with the patients name on it is posted on our decorated board in the reception room( it is the same board used for several other promotions). Each donation allows the patient to get in our drawing for a 100$ credit to the patient's account. The doctor also invites the patient to the Valentines Party which should be scheduled as an extra visit just for the health of it(3x come 4x that week) and that visit is on us. We start promoting it the 4th week of January. Last year we collected over 600$ and plan do to do better this year. We play the Oklahaven video tape which shows before and after results with very ill children. It really touches patient's hearts. Contact them by email at oklahave@flash.net or you can call them at 405-948-8807. Check out their website at www.chiropractic4kids.com . The more that register to help the better.
