Even though a looming recession sounds like it would hurt your business, it doesn’t have to.
In fact, a recession is the perfect time to beat DSOs to new patients and build a stronger, more profitable practice.
You see, because DSOs are run by venture capital firms, they have extremely strict restrictions on their budgeting. That means they can’t adjust their marketing spend, no matter what’s happening in the economy.
But you, as a private practitioner, can! If you stay agile and proactive with your marketing, you can grab all of the new patients when the time is right--giving you the upper hand, even over the big guys.
Different practices need different types of marketing. We’ll explain the best way to attract leads for your specific practice model.
Don’t waste money on marketing that doesn’t work. Learn how to track the right numbers so you can get the biggest bang for your buck.
The best marketing in the world doesn’t mean a thing if nobody walks through the door. Learn how to follow up and book new patients.
