 The Coaching Corner...
Where Spiritual Wisdom Meets Business Common Sense.

Greetings Dear Ones!

 

Relationships, relationships, relationships!

 

Yes, a website is important!

 

Yes, a biz card is important!

 

Yes, a brochure is important!

 

Yes, speaking and writing are important!

 

But the most important aspects of building a successful practice are relationships!


Become a resource of referral sources for your patients...Have relationships with doctors whose philosophy and practice reflect similar values to your own.

 

Here are the steps:

  1. Get a list of local docs
  2. Start a letter writing campaign i.e.:

    Dear Dr. so and so,

    I am looking for physians to refer my clients to. 

    My name is ___________and I am an acupuncturist who works with ____________ and am looking for physicians to refer my clients to. 

    I would like to get together with you to discuss your practice and your practice philosophy.

    Please let me know if you would care to meet. 

    I will call your office next week to schedule an appointment with you.

    Sincerely,

    ___________

 

You will notice that I am not asking for referrals in this letter - I used to get letters from psychiatrists all the time that were asking for referrals...they went right into the circle file!!!  None of them expressed any interest in my work!

 

Remember, according to the latest research, 51% of physicians are amenable to referring their patients to you and all you need are a couple!!!

 

Send out letters quarterly...work the closest docs to you.  And then CALL and follow up!!!

 

Take action...don't just sit there...


Many blessings to your success!

 

Dr. E
