As I've been speaking around the country for the past 2 years in chiropractic seminars and events, I continue to hear the same complaints by recent chiropractic school grads and professionals. They've been scammed by useless management consultants. I think we need to wake up and realize that when these groups make huge promises, our instincts rightly tell us that they can't keep them. If a chiropractor is pushed into one of these companies because they've been instilled with a fear of failure, then you know that there is some serious fraud going on, and the other guys are making a lot of money off it. These "meat-eaters" are devouring chiropractic businesses for breakfast with their false claims, and you better not be the next one to fall prey to them.
If you join a consulting group, make sure they have plenty of value to provide to you rather than just empty promises. Personally, I feel than many are overpriced and are just out to make a buck and could care less about the average chiropractor. I say this because some chiropractic practice consulting groups are using marketing tactics and strategies that died in the 1970's. The world changes periodically, not to mention the people in it, so it's important to find a company that's adaptable to the new ways of marketing and doing business in today's high-tech age.
So ask yourself: what isn't working for your chiropractic practice right now? You can't blame it on the economy because there are a lot of chiropractic practices that happen to be thriving right now. No doubt, you'll find that marketing and new-patient acquisition are areas you want to improve. This is common. Your first plan of attack should be to get new patients through free marketing strategies, not paying through the nose for a consultant that won't do anything anyhow. Don't let anyone lie to you; the best advertising today is absolutely free. When you take advantage of putting videos up on YouTube and dominate search engines, your whole chiropractic practice will transform. Sites like MySpace, YouTube and Facebook have enormous potential for branding yourself and exploding your business in your immediate area.
When times are rough, it's the innovators and creative marketers that survive and prosper. But if you turn to a chiropractic consultant to show you these cutting-edge methods, you're throwing your money away. None of them are trained or knowledgeable of how to use Web 2.0 and social media to get your business on the fast track to success. And if any of them say they know the best methods and they've been using them for years, you're falling right into a scam!
Here are a few tips to consider when choosing a practice management company. Make sure they have real-life testimonials from previous clients. Secondly, see if they specialize in what you are looking for. You don't want a "jack of all trades, master of none" chiropractic coaching group. If you want to market your practice via the internet, don't choose someone that focuses on screenings are dinner-talks. Lastly, make sure they are adaptable and staying abreast of new trends in the internet and the world. Not only that, be clear that they have an exact, proven strategy to implement them within your practice.
To get you started on some free chiropractic marketing and advertising for your office, here are a few sites that you want to be on and continuously contribute content to, YouTube.com, Myspace.com, Wordpress.com, Facebook.com, Digg.com, EzineArticles.com, Free-Press-Release.com, and Twitter.com.
