A true story…
It all started with a phone call from a physician I know…
Dr. W. had just run a large ad for decompression therapy. It
was an ad that had worked well in other markets and it cost
him a few thousand for a two-day run in his city’s leading paper.
He was ecstatic to learn that by day 2 he had received 58 calls.
Every time he heard the phone rang, he pictured a prospective
new patient coming in for his free consult. While he knew that
not every call would pan out, he still believed that the lion’s
share of the calls would at least convert to his free offer.
Then, he’d use that approach the guru taught him to convert
half or so of the consults to starts. He quickly did the math
and figured that’d be about a dozen and a half starts. At $3,500
apiece, that’d be 60 grand or so—enough to keep his table busy
this month and well into next.
But it never worked out that way… Because on day three, when
he sat down with his new patient coordinator, he learned the
sad truth: only 11 of the 58 had agreed to the free consult.
By the time those 11 had worked their way through the show-up
phase and consults-to-starts, he’d be lucky to generate 3 new
patients.
That’s when he decided to call me...
I asked him why 47 didn’t even make the first cut. He wasn’t
positive, but his staff told him that some wanted to know more
before they’d make the trip in…several seemed to be tire-kickers
or pill-seekers, but his staff wasn’t really sure…a couple wanted
to ask their spouse first…and a whole bunch wanted to know whether
their insurance would cover it.
He wasn’t sure whether these were the real reasons, but he did
know that, surely, he must have lost a good number of potential
patients.
I told him he was right—and began to lay out how my clinic deals
with prospect phone calls—and how he could implement a similar
system…

Hello, my name is Mark Cooper, and I’m the COO of one of the largest
and most successful spinal decompression clinics in the U.S. Over
the last 16 years, I’ve spearheaded all the clinic’s marketing efforts
and am personally responsible for generating over 21,652 cash-paying
decompression patients.
Our marketing has included virtually every type of media you can imagine—from
TV to radio, billboards to health fairs, local newspapers to direct
mail, public relations blitzes to offsite health screenings, outbound
telemarketing campaigns to specialized lead generation web sites…
In other words, if it reaches potential prospects, chances are I’ve
used it.
And with a budget that has reached over $93,000 a month, I’ve had
the luxury of being able to scientifically test and measure individual
media like few other practices could ever afford to. So over the years,
I’ve learned a lot about what works in patient generation, what doesn’t
and why…
But this message isn’t
about what media to use, or what ad strategy or offer works best.
No, it’s more important than that. It’s about what happens after
the media runs… It’s about what happened to Dr. W. and is probably
happening to your practice right now. It’s about getting more qualified
prospects who call in for information to actually schedule-- and
then actually come in for--an appointment.
You see, when a prospective patient calls, they have an expectation—and
a real hope—that you can help them get out from underneath their pain.
But if yours is like most practices, many, many prospect calls never
end up in an appointment being made—or being kept.
In the many workshops and conferences I speak at, I’m always surprised
how many physicians erroneously believe that new patient conversion
begins when a prospective patient walks through their front door.
But the million-dollar decompression practices know the secret: the
battle-line really begins when the potential patient first calls your
office.
Fact is: it’s that initial
connection between a potential patient and your staff where explosive
increases in revenue are possible…and where most practices lose more
money than they realize. For many, it’s many tens-of-thousands of
dollars.
This secret—and it took me a few years to really appreciate it—is
directly linked to how well-trained and effective your phone person
is in answering prospect calls. The better trained she is, the higher
your appointment rate, the better your show-up rate, and the better
your start rate. And all this can be accomplished with no increase
in the number of in-coming calls.
Would you like to increase your consults by up to 70%? Increase your
show-up rates by up to 50%? And then get 30% more consults to agree
to start treatment?
You can—and it’s easy when your staff follows my decompression prospect
call-handling system. To help you implement it, I’ve put together
a new, high octane program guaranteed to lift your new patient scheduling
process to a new level of success.
It includes my complete workshop presentation—over 5 hours of video.
It’s the same workshop I’ve given all across the country and which
attendees have paid up to $1799 to attend… But you only have to invest
a small fraction of that cost for my “at home” version… |
