DC requests imput on creating a successful Grand Opening of his new practice E-mail message this week .. Why Promote One of the most confrontational components of practice building is promotion. For the typical business person .. including chiropractors .. it is asking for business. On one hand a response would be that as professionals it is unprofessional to solicit for patients .. on the other hand a response would be that to survive and thrive we most bring the masses to our door. If you find yourself between these two divided opinions then give thought to the purpose of your professional life. Is it to create a beautiful office with all the tools necessary to help so many but find yourself frustrated with the numbers you see? Is it to create an office with trained staff and knowledge to release the imprisoned passion of life but stand at the door with few passing by? Is it to spend thousands of dollars and untold number of hours of study to help humanity with humanity searching for you but unaware of where you are? Friends .. this is why we promote. Oh .. I see you never advertise .. you never do a screening or such unprofessional things as speaking to the public about wellness and chiropractic. Okay .. do you ask for a referral .. even if indirectly? Have you a unique report of findings and encourage a care plan with numbered visits and specific patient homework? Well .. you promoted and if results of care bring in referrals your hands did the talking .. kudos to you. Promotion in one form or another is a must and once we consciously or unknowingly stop .. so does our business .. income .. self esteem and most important our ability to help so many. The least class hour time in chiropractic college is practice building. New doctors are led to the door and kicked out into a cruel world littered with tales of associate .. independent contract and new start up wows. In the world of managed health care and the lack of insurance inclusion for all .. creativity and stepping outside ones comfort zone is a must. Established doctors with years under their belts find long term patients leaving their office for the DC down the street who happens to be in their insurance network. This is not uncommon. The answer is not retreat but forging ahead. I often teach at Dr. Pete Fernandez¼s seminars in Atlanta. My programs concentrate of marketing and public relations. He has a new doctor program called Practice Starters. One component which must be rough on those that join is the number of public surveys they must do prior to opening their office. Just imagine knocking on the doors and shaking hands of 3000 people within your chosen community. There are creative ways of doing it and in a very professional manner but once you reach the thousand mark and aim towards the goal of 3000 you have easily broken through that hard comfort zone and breached your bubble of insecurity. Just imagine how successful the next 2000 will be. If you wish to jump in and be creative check my webpage and look under Practice Tips. Scroll down here and there and pick and choose many of the internal and external ideas that were shared for us. I have even more towards the bottom of this Practice Tips webpage. Oh .. don¼t forget my Marketing and Workshop Workbooks. Save 20% if you purchase it via my webpage this month .. it¼ll be a win-win. Knowledge for you and some extra income for me. The books are only $25. Never damn promotion just keep doing it .. I just did. Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: Tampa Practice for sale: Best deal in FL.
