Chiropractic Marketing - A ‘Must-Know’ Lesson For Chiropractors From Bill Gates
By Todd Brown Bill was once quoted as saying something along the lines of,”Microsoft has had lots of competitors over the years. It’s agood thing we have museums to record those moments in history.” Ouch. Not a good thing to think about if you were one of thosecompetitors, that’s for sure. But, you certainly don’t need to be a competitor of Microsoft tofeel the sting of business competition. With the quantity of chiropractors in practice today, and thequantity of new doctors coming into the profession every year,I’m sure you’d agree, it’s a pretty darn crowded and competitivechiropractic marketplace out there. The number of shrinking incomes and struggling doctors, certainlyconfirms that. So, how do you go about being on the winning side… the successside… of chiropractic business competition, instead of on thelosing, struggling side? 2 ways… 1. DIFFERENTIATION. 2. USING YOUR PRACTICE METRICS PROPERLY. Let’s talk about differentiation first. In order to excel in a crowded profession, you must be able toshow prospective patients and active patients what makes you andchiropractic care in your office different from what every otherdoctor or chiropractic office is offering. Mainly, you must offer patients benefits and unique value theycan’t get from one of the other local doctors competing withyou. And, if you really want to protect your practice and income fromcurrent competition and any future competition, you must learnhow to position your chiropractic practice uniquely in the mindof consumers. In other words, you’ve got to learn how, through your marketing,to have prospective chiropractic patients view your chiropracticpractice compared to others, as if comparing apples to oranges. This only happens when you take proactive action to create thatdifferentiated, unique positioning through your patientacquisition and retention methods. And, here’s where your practice metrics come in… Plain and simple, the only way to rapidly grow a chiropracticpractice (and sustain it) is to understand and manage your keypractice metrics (measurements/numbers). Just like acquiring wealth and becoming financially free is allabout properly managing and measuring certain numbers (i.e. yourbank balance, your income, your expenses, etc.). The same appliesto your chiropractic success. Sadly, most chiropractic schools never teach this concept tograduating docs. New chiropractors then go into an insanely competitivemarketplace, with tons of practicing chiropractors, struggle tobuild their practices, and end up tremendously frustrated. Can you blame them? I certainly can’t.
