Closing First Appointments
Many practices are under the assumption that a patient will simply book when they’d like to pursue treatment. The problem is, people don’t act like that. Prospective patients rarely ask all the questions they need to address their concerns.
The majority of patients will walk away, thinking, “Hey, I’ve got lots of time to think about this.” But then, life takes over. People go home and become distracted by everything going on in their day-to-day lives. We fail to connect with them. They don’t answer the phone, they ‘go off’ the idea, or they spend the money elsewhere. Here we reveal the secret systems that have taken us over 20 years to learn and refine. Adopt these tips, and you will see your patient numbers increase in leaps and bounds. Let’s get into it…
