‘The common law of business balance:’

It’s unwise to pay too much, but far worse to pay too little: when you pay too much, you lose a little money, that’s all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything; Because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

Did you ever have ANYONE walk past your practice ,office, or door, while you are closed? How about the building you’re in: anyone ever walk by that’s ‘not’ a patient of your practice? What’s stopping you from placing your beautiful practice brochures(with your name imprinted of course) in a nice brochure holder ATTACHED TO THE OUTSIDE of your building or door, so that prospective patients may take a brochure (& card) if they are passing by!

<<Back to Top

Take the above idea a step further and place these simple inexpensive brochure stands (you can purchase anywhere from Staples to Ebay!) and place them with your neighborhood ‘alliances’ in your market area.
You what alliances are? They are a group of 5,10 ,50 businesses in your area that LOVE to refer to you(and you would refer to them), such as a pharmacy, a spa, a salon, a fitness center, a chiropractor…

Our laboratory advocates: KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS locally:
Local companies & local reps can help you in several ways but you must have a conversation(relation) with them; I have personally seen some incredible networking done locally which can dramatically change people’s lives and businesses (for the better!).
Using a local supply person means you should be getting the latest info on new technology, ways to save $, the ability to get same day or next day delivery if they live locally, maybe even a new patient referral!
