Marketing From The Inside Out

It is often said that, “Your patients are your best source of new patients.” Not only is that still very valid, it is an understatement of your current patients’ marketing potential. If that is true, why do so many doctors begin their initial inquiries to Curtis Marketing Group with, “I don’t get the patient referrals like I used to get. New patient count is really down.”? Do their patients just not like them anymore? Have they lost confidence in the doctor? Of course not.

If you have experienced this phenomenon, I can assure you that your current patients are still recommending you to their friends, fellow workers and family. However, what exactly are they telling them? Are they still saying, “You should see my dentist. He’s nice.”? Or, “She’s gentle.” That is not enough anymore. In this age of hyper-information sources, people are more evaluative when making decisions. You need to turn your patients into powerful marketing tools for you and your practice.
