A Strong Practice Rep = More Referrals For You

Don’t like asking other practitioners for referrals? If you’re like many practitioners, you’d rather get a root canal with no anaesthetic than visit doctors’ offices and ask for referrals.

Relax! Here’s a much better alternative…

Hire a Practice Representative to do the visiting for you. A good Practice Rep will foster and develop relationships between your practice and non-referring practices (and strengthen relationships with current referrers.) He or she will meet with key personnel to discuss all the great benefits to the referring doctor or dentist of sending patients to you, build rapport with potential (and current) referrers’ staff, and properly trained, can return several times your investment in terms of new patients and revenue for your practice.

There’s no need for you to feel like the Fuller Brush man selling door to door. Instead, hire a good Practice Rep who can be a referral-generating powerhouse for your practice.
