The Apprentice I still find marketing gems from the weekly Apprentice show. A friend of mine so dislikes Trump that he refuses to watch the show, but he does so at the expense of missing some sound public relations and marketing ideas and especially horrendous or great teamwork. Two teams pair off to market a product and the team with the most sales wins the weekly challenge. This past week had the teams selling their own Pollo Loco fast food item. The issue was not the product but the sale. Same with us, the issue is a given, an adjustment, but the product, our patients, is harder to come by. We provide the adjustment but without the sale, whom do you expect to adjust? The teams had to develop a marketing strategy to introduce and entice the public to try a new item all within a specific timeline. The team with the most sales won. Okay, pretty straight forward, but letıs assume their marketing was fantastic but the sale or service was slow. The end result would be the same, less volume, more headaches but less sales. Therefore the team, as with your staff, working in tandem and with the most sales or in our case new patients, successful promotions, less missed appointments, patients attending educational programs wins the day. How often do you use the same tired and worn promotional programs? How often do you really tweak or challenge previous results so that the next exposure will refine the results? How is your team, worn, tired, complacent and ready to be ³fired.² Doctors, keep an eye on your statistics and use the Trump model as a start point to review and critique your team. You need be, patch, hire or fire Have a Great Day Dr. M Thanks for those that have purchased my PowerPoint presentations. The response has been great and I appreciate it. At $50 a presentation, it is cost effective to purchase a projector and tweak mine to work with your office and begin educational programs for patients and community.
