Why your patient base is critical for retention
= A patient
in Your Practice
Here are the most unknown facts concerning the database of practices across the country:
1) the average household has 3.2 occupants.
2) When someone walks into a practice anywhere in the u.s., behind that single person...is 8 more potential new patients.

the power of your patient base
each person in the household
has an average of 2 close friends, dramatically changing the dynamics of
8 potential new patients.
The result is that every new patient has a potential of 8 new patient referrals.

Strategy without tactics leads to the “bright shiny object syndrome”
a sure method of NOT achieving your goal is to focus on one tactic after another without a plan.
Here's an example of a series of single tactics doctors do that never arrives them at their goal.
