5 Tips on Establishing Yourself As An Expert In Your Community
Wondering how to get new patients into your practice? Wondering how to distinguish yourself as unique from the other practitioners in your community? Here are 5 surefire ways to get visibility in your area. 5 Tips on Establishing Yourself As An Expert In Your Community 1. Get to know your community. In my county there are two very large retirement communities. There is a lake with an association. I am in Southern California, so the beach is close. There are sailing clubs and surfing clubs. There are athletic clubs. From the list you generate, find what excites you. What could you write about and speak about with enthusiasm? Every one of those choices has a very specific niche that could be targeted. 2. Take this information and create a written report. What would your target audience like to hear about? The retirement community would love to hear about arthritis research, or new facts regarding longevity. Don't get too technical, but do not assume your audience does not know anything about the subject. My father had sciatic problems and knew all the latest research from doing internet searches. Make it interesting and very specific for your target audience. 3. Contact the appropriate organization. If your audience is the surfing community, find all the clubs and associations having to do with surfing. Find out if they have a newsletter and submit your article. Inquire about writing a column. You do not have to make your article or report lengthy. Appeal to the mindset and really think about what problems they might have and offer a solution. Establish yourself as the person to go to with xxxxx problem. You are the expert! You are familiar with the problem and you have a solution. 4. Take your article or report and turn it into a presentation. There are so many opportunities everywhere to do public speaking. There are clubs and associations that are begging for speakers. Does the organization you submitted your article to have meetings that have guest speakers? Do not limit yourself to thinking you have to do the standard Basic Chiropractic 101 speech. You do not have to educate them about chiropractic. You are there to establish yourself as the expert in your niche. 5. Contact your local newspaper and send out a press release. Let the paper know where you are doing your presentations. This is another way to raise your level of expertise in your community. *Remember that all of these are designed to establish yourself as a credible expert in your field. Your intention is to attract patients by planting seeds. They may not have the specific problem you are addressing at that moment, but if they should, they will have your card and remember you as the one with the expertise.* Call now for a business consultation session valued at $100.00.

The lesson I learned is that the financial ruin of large companies is often achieved by incredibly expensive and glitzy marketing plans that do not take into account the company's ability to earn a profit.

Small Business Marketing; Abstract Philosophical Discussion Our bodies work like our small businesses. They work best by word of mouth, networks, referrals, etc. The Internet also works this way to serve the most good thru networks, portals and referral links; of course the Internet could work better, but all in all we are well served by using such systems and we are most hurt when those systems are used against us. For instance a virus in the blood stream, an International Terrorist in an airliner, a drug dealer in your neighborhood or a computer virus which worms its way through your system doing its dirty deeds like the evil doers or an evolving organic virus on our bio-systems.
