Psoas video is now available E-mail message: Lost opportunities There is no better advocate to practice growth than you. A solid business person runs their business in a businesslike fashion .. it is all business with some wiggle room for fun and levity .. but it is all serious business. There are specific roles for each staff member and even the patients get involved by following a schedule and referring their friends and family. Wow .. what a concept! If we were to chart our practice growth we whould soon find there may be a bottomless pit of patient non-compliance. Although the first question a DC has when attending a seminar is "how do I get new patients" the reply should always be .. "what have you been doing with the ones you presently have?" Therefore and for the purpose of this e-mail .. letžs discuss one missing link of practice management and financial growth .. missed appointments. If you have been a DC for sometime and take time to look through years of patient files it would be shocking .. how many people and where are they? If you were able to reactivate all these patients .. would you have room for them or even for new ones? Oh .. youžll make room .. but will you remake the same mistakes and lose them again. Just imagine if you got the message and value of chiropractic across to these folks within their first few visits and they were "sold" on the Big idea for their health and wellness and long term maintenance care. Not only were they touched with the reality of what we know but they also felt the need to share it with others swelling your practice with committed and dedicated patients. Donžt lose sight of your present patients .. they can be salvaged with more education. Donžt lose sight of your missed appointments .. they can be salvaged with more education. Donžt lose sight of your previous patients .. they can also be salvaged with more education. Just get them in .. send some newsletters .. e-mails .. whatever. This is the perfect time of year to send some form of a holiday greeting with a Health-O-Gram or Healthy Stocking Stuffer .. some form of welcome back or referral seed program.
