Most of what you’ll hear nowadays encourages you to pursue a short-term, pushy and gimmicky path when approaching new patients. Well, if you’re having case acceptance issues, that may work for you. I, however, have never felt like it was the right thing to do in terms of presenting treatment to people.
If you’re having trouble with your patients accepting the care your recommending, today I’m sharing one of the best things you can reference during every treatment plan presentation to help improve your profitability, and move your patients to health without being greasy or sleazy in the process. And after all, that’s what this show is all about.
It’s nice when you know that your care provider isn’t just trying to sell you something, but instead trying to get you through life in a way that’s going to help you meet your goals.
This is a huge profitability tip, because when you start to have relationships with patients that aren’t just one-off, short transactions, the chances of your hygiene schedule becoming an ongoing source of value go up drastically.
I also tell the tale of how I met my wife, and how I used today’s tip to secure her as a patient, and apparently, a life partner!
Remember: your goal is to get your patients to health and keep them there. It becomes less about convincing, and more about offering care that’s consistent with that long term plan you want to have.
If you really want to get out of the short-term transactions and follow the Dr. Fries With That model, you’ve got to follow today’s tips and communication techniques.
