If you don’t have at least a 6-12 month follow-up system for patients after discharge, you’re leaving a lot of money on the table. Most practices either don’t follow up at all, or they send one message a few weeks later that says something like, “Just checking in to...
If you use social media in your practice and it takes a lot of time and/or doesn’t generate many actual patients, then this episode is for you. The appeal of AI is obvious for this delima: it can save time, speed up content creation, and help you get more mileage out...
If the word sales makes you—or your staff—feel uncomfortable… You are not alone. It’s one of the most common mental barriers in cash-based practice. Clinicians feel it.Admins feel it.Receptionists feel it. And unfortunately, that discomfort quietly crushes growth....
When the schedule softens, most practice owners do the same thing. They panic.They think, “I need more leads.”They start chasing brand-new people. But that’s usually not the fastest move. Because when you need results quickly, the smartest question isn’t: “How do I...
