I talk to a lot of chiropractors every year at each of the many seminars I speak at around the country. I find that every year these chiropractors come to me with the same complaints about practice management consultants. These poor DC's are spending horrible amounts of money and still see their businesses hit rock bottom. Are all practice management firms a scam? Honestly, most of them are. They're sucking many chiropractors dry with their old cookie-cutter tactics that they've been using for over 30 years. They have no interest in changing their ways, and every interest in taking your money.
Hey, I'm not saying don't spend a lot on a consultant! When you spend a good deal of money on someone with experience and acumen that surpasses your own, and that person gets your business working at whole new heights, then that money is absolutely worth it. But this just isn't the case with pretty much any of these consultants. They don't live up to the amount of money they're being paid, and chiropractors are suffering. These groups try to scare you into utilizing their services, only to leave you with nothing in return. It's fraudulent, and it's got to stop.
There are several things that you should look for when choosing a solid chiropractic consultant or practice management group. First, make sure that they have a specialty. Too many times I see these guys that have the "best" solutions for everything. What I mean is this. You would never go to a gynecologist to have a brain tumor removed, right? Similarly, you would never go to a practice management group that is primarily known for in-office patient retention for help with internet marketing. You know what they say. If they're usually the jack of all trades, they're typically the master of none. Seek out specialists in different areas of your practice that you need to kick into high gear.
Secondly, you want to look for someone that has many satisfied clients, testimonials, and has established social proof. Beware of scripted testimonials and videos that don't look like they're from average chiropractors like you. A few chiropractic consultants have been busted for false and misleading testimonials, trying to trick vulnerable and desperate DC's into buying their programs.
Start by doing an extensive Google search to get the real stats on these consultants. If you're looking for a chiropractic consulting coach who specializes in the only viable marketing strategy today of Web 2.0 and Social media marketing, you might want to search for "social media chiropractic marketing" and this very specific search might yield results that are actually of use to you.
The most important element when looking for a consultant that can take your chiropractic practice out of the dumps into soaring new heights is whether they're using the most innovative strategies of today. We live in tough times, and the only way to survive and thrive is to be an innovator. You need to be at the forefront of what's going on with the changing times, or you're simply left in the dust. Web 2.0 and social media marketing are really the only way to find any success right now. While some chiropractors are sinking in their old tactics, there are small percentages that are finding tremendous success as they tap this rich and undiscovered resource. And social media is growing by the second!
If you are looking to stop being a victim and for your chiropractic practice to become recession-proof, you need to think outside of the conventional box that 95% of chiropractors reside in. I strongly recommend learning the newest social media / Web 2.0 marketing tactics. This is virtually an untapped new patient goldmine if harnessed correctly.
You will only find one consultant that specializes in this type of marketing who speaks worldwide to businesses about successful integration of social media. Truthfully, you could be the best chiropractor in the world but if you don't know how to market and massively spread your message in the new era, it doesn't matter. - 15433
