This is shared by Dr. Rick Wren: wren@texoma.net Dear Colleagues and Friends, Step #13 is actually Additional Success Principle #3( Always use Chiropractic "Table Talk"). It has been a long standing knowledge, that the more you talk " Chiropractic" the busier you are. Reversibly the more you talk weather, sports, news, and sex, the less busier you are. One of the ways to find out how good your "Tic" talk is in your office, is to ask your staff members to explain what a subluxation is. The second is to ask all your patients to explain what a subluxation is. If you are brave enough to try this, you will be very surprised at what you staff and patients do not know overall. A visit in and out of McDonalds's to pick up food has an expectation of 15 minutes or less. A routine visit in and out of a Chiropractic Office should have an expectation of 30 minutes or less to expect growth. How thrilled would you be if the person at McDonalds discussed news and sports every time you went, which delayed your experience by 15 minutes or more. But what if the person gave you a ten second one liner on the quality of their food or service each time you were in and it caused no delay. Chiropractors make 2 mistakes with patients. One, they think all patients understand chiropractic after one poor explanation. Two, they try to make every patient their best friends. We all should already know that our family and friends are our worst patients overall. Buy one of those pointer lasers from an office supply and start pointing to nerve and subluxation charts on every visit at first. Then point and talk nerve interference every five visits. Any time a patient tells you something or asks you a question, get your laser out and point to a chart while you explain. The real beauty of this is when you have an open adjusting room and several people are learning something. Example, "Doc my numbness in my hand is going away." Point with your laser to a chart and say "See that nerve right there. As we correct your subluxation, you are getting more and more power flowing through that nerve. See you Monday." Get a score sheet and see how many people you can talk "Tic" with on your next day in the office. Remember it is the opposite of Golf, the higher the score the better. If you did not make it to the Parker in Toronto you missed a good one. The energy was so high and loving. I have attached the Preframe Subluxation script for those I met in Canada.You can go to www.planetchiropractic.com to down load other attachments. Just look for my name under "Authors" and you will find 30 of my past messages. Those of you who could not get the 3 day ROF Video/ Audio set in Canada, can find it at Planet Chiropractic also.
