Creating Excitement
Wooing applies to vision correction too, you know. Once a prospective patient has invested a little time or money to get to know you, you don’t want them getting cold feet while they wait for their consultation or treatment. Here we’ll show you how to use this (often ignored) time between appointments to excite and delight your patients. We’ll show you how to create personalised Ah-ha moments that celebrate their suitability, reiterate and confirm the long-term benefits of their decision to pursue treatment, and exhibit the many happy patients who have walked the same road before them.
Flip a switch in your brain to feel even more happiness and success in 2022
Why is it that so many successful people who have accomplished outstanding achievements and all of their accrued benefits can still feel like failures? This one-minute mindset shift will change your perspective on everything.
How to best use third-party patient stories to help patients overcome the fear of surgery
As the race to the bottom has proven, price-cutting is not the route to jump-starting eye surgery volumes. For the majority who could benefit from laser eye surgery, even the lowest-price inducements of £399/eye are insufficient. No, the price objection is a superficial smokescreen that often masks a deeper objection - fear. Overcoming the fear objection, therefore, is one of the most important jobs for anyone offering laser refractive surgery. In this post, I write how using the hero's journey in patient stories can help people overcome their fear of surgery.
My laser eye surgery journey – Or, how I overcame my fear of laser eye surgery
In November of 2018, I had laser eye surgery. In doing so, my relationship with the medical procedure I’ve marketed for almost 20 years changed forever. I became my customers’ patient, and it transformed my understanding of their patient’s psychological journey and what they most fear and desire.
