Our clients always ask us what we see on the horizon (or around the corner) when it comes to marketing their medical practice. They want to know what they could be doing that they’re not doing now right now.
And for the most part, it’s the factors around and beyond a doctor’s care that have the most influence on whether a patient comes back or not. 75% of your patients’ interactions are with members of your team and not the physician.
Yes, 75%.
Therefore, customer service, employee engagement, and having everyone on your staff understand the critical marketing role they play will be your prime differentiator in 2019.
