Whether we like or not, it’s normal for patients to fall off track, be affected by their financial and scheduling situations, have challenges that need addressed or drop out of care all together.

In most cases, doctors or their teams simply let people walk away.

I’m not suggesting you “twist anyone’s arm” but without an honest conversation, do you really know what their ACTUAL concern is?

What if they simply needed to be heard outside your regular check-up?

What if they didn’t want to drop out, but facing some life stress, didn’t know how to react?

What if they wanted to stay under your care for a lifetime but required a different schedule to make that happen.

You can accomplish each of these without giving up the authority, credibility and trust you need to lead your community.

Done well the results can be more of each and a reinforcement of your patient’s commitment to the process. Done poorly or not at all…your patient is all but gone forever.

The “Special Visit” protocol is a MUST have system in your practice.

On this episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors, we give you the basics to get you started creating and implementing this important system into your business. Read More

I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “fake it ’til you make it”?

While there’s some merit in the concept (specifically taking action even if you haven’t perfected your particular activity), far too often this line of thought will undermine your long-term success.

Why?

The reason is, you can’t fake one of the most fundamental psychological states required for success in practice, sales and entrepreneurship…and that’s confidence.

Authentic confidence, as opposed to the superficial BS that most people can see directly through, makes it very difficult for the person sitting directly across from you to deny your position or object to it.

Therein lies the incredible value of The Assumption Play.

Yet another play from The Chiropractic Sales Playbook that when developed, will yield tremendous, almost unbelievable results.

Having this play in your repertoire is one of the central reasons some chiropractors can say the craziest things and still motivate and move people.

I would even go as far as saying it’s THE MOST important determinant in your success as a chiropractor. The confidence and strong belief in yourself, your product and your skills sets the stage for everything else.

Of course, matching authentic confidence with solid communication, a great team and well organized systems (the LBD way!) will give you the upper hand.

Enjoy! Read More

One of the absolute best parts of my “job” is working with chiropractors to help grow themselves and in turn, grow their businesses and leave a much bigger legacy than they had ever expected.

BUT, I don’t love working with every chiropractor (no offense)…

What really gets me excited is to partner with driven, ambitious and hard working docs who are willing to put in the effort AND do the long work in order to get results. 

I’m energized every time I get off a call with a doctor who is taking full responsibility for their success and only sees me as an assistant NOT the primary cause of their outcomes (good or bad).

One of those chiropractors is Dr. Alex Ritza.

Alex had followed Life By Design For Chiropractors for a few years prior to working with our team. He consumed the free content, gathered up piles of value (and implemented what he could) until he reached the point where he knew the next step was a more intensive relationship and what he hoped would be an extremely fruitful one.

His situation is not unlike many of our listeners, and as such, I know you’ll get value from this episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors. Read More
