This article is about chiropractic marketing and why it is vital to saving your practice. I'm not going to pull any punches. If you've found yourself in a dangerously slow practice situation, then what you need at this point is for someone to tell you the unvarnished truth. This article teaches three things to do now.

Last week I got an email from a doctor that went like this: "Ben, I just found your website. I now realize everything I've done has been wrong, which is why I find myself in my current situation. My practice is dying on the vine. What can I do?"

How to Save a Practice in 3 Steps

1. 100% Focus on Chiropractic Marketing:

The very first thing to realize is that chiropractic marketing is the single most urgent skill you must master.

I mean the bottom line is that one good marketing system can bring in 20 new patients a month. If you had 10 systems like this that you could routinely draw from, imagine the power in that.

2. Create Multiple Marketing Poles in the Water: In my Apprentice program, I teach an approach called Marketing Poles in the Water. The way to build a thriivng practice is to have two dozen poles in the water- basically two dozen marketing systems - that each produce varying numbers of patients. If we wire everything at the lowest possible level of result meaning with two dozen poles dipped in the water, even if each pole only brought in 1-3 new patients each, you'd be virtually guaranteed 24 new patients that month at a minimum.

Quit looking for the one magic ad that fixes all your problems. Such an ad does not exist.

The problem becomes what if you only have 3 poles in the water? When I survey chiropractors, it is alarming to find that the majority of clinics are only doing three or four things total.

No wonder they have a new-patient problem. Marketing poles in the water can be a life saver.

Here's an email I got this morning from a doctor who said, "This past Monday I started the week with 2 new patients on the schedule for the entire WEEK and by the end of Monday we had SEVEN on Monday alone. That was followed up with 5 new patients yesterday. It's funny because when we ask how they heard of our office each one of them was from a different "pole".

3. Forget Delegating the Marketing - no one cares as much as you do!

The worst thing you could ever do, is divorce yourself from all this marketing stuff and toss it to an inexperienced staff member just because you don't want to deal with it. Why would someone delegate the only thing in practice that brings in money, i.e. the marketing?

Delegating the marketing to someone who doesn't care much about it will be the death kiss to any practice (or business.)

What's The Bottom line?

The bottom line is to beg, borrow, steal - well, don't steal - doing whatever it takes to add two dozen marketing poles to your practice as rapidly as possible. This will save your practice. It's mathematically impossible not to generate the new patients if you follow my advice.

No matter what, do not just sit there and allow yourself to die on the vine because you're feeling paralyzed. Get off your butt and make things happen and get those marketing poles installed!
