I've conversed with countless chiropractors at growth symposiums where I've been a key-note speaker. This has been happening for years now and I always hear the same sad tale; people are getting scammed by bad practice management consultants. These so-called gurus are pulling the wool over everyone's eyes and making a ton of money in the process. I have no respect for these companies that presume to help chiropractors fresh out of school, or even seasoned professionals, and only take their money and waste it. Times are too tough for people to have this happen to them. Why should the scammers be making all the money?
Now, I don't have a problem with paying for an expensive service as long as the use value of the system far outweighs the actual cash value that I shelled-out. This is how a good business owner should dictate price anyway. It should all be about providing massive amounts of practical use-value for your client or customer. Practice management groups and consultants who do this should be commended, but they are very rare. Most of what you will come across in chiropractic school when chiropractic consultants speak is BS filler and fear mongering. They have to scare you in order to get your business. This is a warning to stay away from sharks who use those methods.
When you decide that you need one of these practice management groups, you have to start by asking yourself specifically what your business needs. If you pass-up this hugely important step of the process, you risk working with someone who charges you an arm and a leg and has no expertise in your specific problems. I've seen too many businesses fall into this trap, and I don't want to see it any longer.
One of the biggest things to check for when you're finding a consultant that's right for you is whether they have verifiable testimonials. Do they have real people who are satisfied with the results they've had with that consultant? Make sure these aren't scripted testimonials, and that those smiling faces on the promo videos aren't just paid actors.
Say you've decided that you need to seriously amp-up your marketing online utilizing the goldmine of Web 2.0, and you want to find a consultant that can teach you how to do that. Go online to Google and search for "social media chiropractic marketing" and see what you find. When you get this specific, you may find someone who has the answers for you and you alone.
Lastly, it's important to find a consultant that knows the most innovative marketing strategies. If they're stuck in the past, there's no way they can send your chiropractic practice successfully into the future. When it comes to your practice and making it more successful, the biggest issue is new patients. When you improve your marketing and get new patients walking through your door, your whole business will be transformed. This can only happen when you use innovative techniques, and if a practice management group claims to know it all, they most likely don't know this. Times are changing and consultant groups are not changing with them. Web 2.0 and Social Media marketing strategies have changed the face of business, and you're going to sink if you don't change too.
Ninety-five percent of chiropractic businesses don't know a thing about the power of Web 2.0, and the 5% that do are singing its praises. In fact, they're the only ones that are truly thriving right now, even in these hard times. When you choose to tap into the power of Web 2.0, you're putting yourself in the elite.
You will only find one consultant that specializes in this type of marketing who speaks worldwide to businesses about successful integration of social media. Truthfully, you could be the best chiropractor in the world but if you don't know how to market and massively spread your message in the new era, it doesn't matter. - 16463
