When I've spoken at chiropractor seminars or homecomings, especially within the last two years, I've encountered loads of veteran doctors and recent graduates that have been victims of chiropractic coaching scams and bad practice management consulting. Usually, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. I find that many DC's join these companies simply out of fear of failure. What I don't like, is the manipulation that sometimes occurs with desperate chiropractors and the "sharks" that take advantage of them.
I'm not just warning the chiropractors about this, I'm warning the consultants who are stealing people's money with phony claims and no results. When you're taking money from hard working chiropractors and not doing them any good, you're actually stealing from them. If you're not skilled enough at what you do to understand the current climate of the chiropractic business and what professionals are actually facing today, you are hurting them instead of helping them-- and taking all their money too. Some of these consultants are still using marketing tactics utilized in the 1970's, and have no interest and using tactics that work today. The world of marketing has changed incredibly over the last 5 years. There's a potential for wealth and success like never before, and none of these consultants know anything about these methods. I guarantee you that!
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!
The next time you're assaulted by a practice management firm, ask to see the testimonials. Are these real, or are they scripted? Do they actually specialize in what you need to get your business thriving, or are they offering a blanket revival tactic that is so general it couldn't help anyone with anything? Chances are, if you want to tap into the goldmine of Web 2.0 and social media marketing, they won't know the first thing about it.
If you want to start advertising today for free online, I recommend you start with YouTube.com, Myspace.com, Wordpress.com, Facebook.com, Digg.com, EzineArticles.com, Free-Press-Release.com, and Twitter.com. This is the very first step to unbelievable success. And it's as simple as a click away.
Now, I could've mentioned about a hundred more, but begin with these ones first. These Web 2.0 sites are free to use and can bring you truckloads of new patients and other sources of income if you learn the basic and advanced strategies of how to harness them. I've noticed that about 95% of the chiropractic profession is still in the dark about how to use social media to blow the doors of their offices.
Just so it is understood, not all chiropractic coaching groups are frauds. There are a select few good ones that have proven themselves and have gained trust and credibility within the profession. Ask around to other colleagues to get honest opinions before you pick a firm. This is a big decision and has the potential to give your practice an incredible jump-start. - 15246
